Hi from New Zealand

Hi
I am Scottish moved to NZ in 2008 love it here but the Scottish roads take some beating particularly my favorit Kyle of Lochalsh road.
I've not had a motorcycle since I sold my 954 Fireblade back in 2004.
I have recently acquired a ST4s ABS with 8000 genuine miles on it I have taken it apart and rebuilt it as a bit of a hobby and started joining in some local club ride outs which I enjoy I have missed the comradery of like minded individuals.
Seems I have the bug again as I am now awaiting delivery of an immaculate low mileage Wasp or yellow 1098 so it seems Im back into biking and having fun.
I've always had Japanese 4 cylinder bikes with the exception of the KR-1 250cc modified two stroke I raced for a season mostly Fireblades or R1's my first bike back in 1986 was a GPz900r I had a 916 around 2002.
I used to enjoy track days at Knockhill and European tours over the Alps and Pyrenees i've posted some photos of me having fun at Knockhill and it was not raining!!!!
