Hi folks, Dririder6 from Westport, New Zealand. I'm a 56 yr old rider, been on bikes for nearly 40 years now. I've had a fair old variety of machines, the last 4 years i rode an XT660R and a VZ 800 Marauder K4. I have recently sold those two bikes and bought a Kawasaki VN 1600 Nomad. I love it, so does the missus. Looking forward to a bit of touring in comfort !! I have spent most of my working life driving bulldozers in open cut mines in NZ and Australia. Currently driving a Cat D11R on the West Coast of the South Island. ( beaut bike country )
