    Hi everyone!  I'm a new member to the forum, and participated in my first BMWOR ride with Dean and the JAFA's last Sunday.  I had a great time and met some nice people, and I look forward to participating with the club in the future.  A little about me:I grew up in California, with a few years in Utah and Washington state.  I've had motorbikes since I was 9 years old  - old, new, fast, slow, small, big, dirt, street.Honda Trail 70395419418_47f1f93e23_o.jpgSuzuki SV650(just sold it last week - sniff)445903920_a36465c450.jpgBMW K1200RMy first day!280895161_de32401a06.jpgI have lived in NZ for two years now, having moved here for work.  I am currently a Senior Project Engineer on the Northern Gateway Alliance (ALPURT B2) up in Orewa.  I'll save you the trouble - When will it be finished?  December 2008.  Prior to NZ, I lived in Aus for five years working for the same company.  Some good projects, some less than good!A project in Northwest Queensland, near the NT borderBeautiful scenery, but the heat, dust, flies, snakes and desolation made it a bit "less than good"445904122_2baa093c87.jpgThe Northern Gateway project here in NZSuck it in!445904778_30219d7d25_b.jpgI am married to the lovely Deb, the dancing Kiwi, who I met in Australia nine years ago.445916927_bf93a18145.jpgI have few interests apart from motorbikes.  Well, I have some but they usually take a backseat if the weather is fine.  I get to as many track days as I can, and I believe that tyres are a "consumable".After two sessions at Pukekohe439132408_2713349a14.jpgThree weeks ago at TaupoZoom-zoom!430500730_e8d51e0b5f_b.jpgThe next track day at Taupo is 20th April.  Let's see some BMW's out there!!  Last time it was just me and guy on a 1200GS.  And he was caning it!Regards,DaveTheYank
