« on: March 14, 2006, 01:17:10 PM »
On an auction site here in New Zealand for $US1500,its the first KX500 model with upside down forks,colour green and black.Its the fastest beast i have ever been on or in.I have a choice of different riding on my doorstep river beds beaches and mountains etc so am very lucky.Any one looking for a riding holiday i would highly recommend New Zealand, in particular the south island.Happy days.

Maybe they will win a lotto or something and invite us all down for a group ride! :-D :-D :-D

Congrats on the bike!

Good ride comming up on the 2nd of April at Cave half an inland from Timaru. Ya better come down and represent the KXRIDERS.com and give the big bad five a good ol Blowout.

Timbowe ,I use to goto the big Timaru every 2 weeks for years some years ago servicing elevators down there for otis always a good drive back in the company car lolol, Ive had the bike for over a year had a bit of trouble with it going for a while and then it would die and foul the plug up sometimes traced it back to the spark plug lead cap cover loose as.Ill keep that ride in mind,sounds like a good opportunity to come and show some of them dudes with the $15000 bikes what the moto of this site is all about - Devastation - later bro  :mrgreen:
