A Message From The Author of Kiwi Bike Log

I’ve had many bikes over the years, the first being a Honda MT 125 trail bike with which I (terrorized / explored?) most of my home town region in the 1970’s. Along with my teenage cousins and other friends we crashed, burned and scraped both bikes and ourselves most week-ends, setting off at dawn and returning after dark. Mid week evenings were spent repairing the damage in anticipation of our next week-end of havoc.

I moved on through various other bikes including a Yamaha XZ400, Triumph Trident T150, BMW R75, various Japanese road bikes and even a 1992 Ducati 900ss for a short while. At present I have a 1998 Harley Davidson FLSTC.

I found I needed something to keep all my bike information in one place, and so I designed the Kiwi Bike Log as an aid for others in my situation. The spiral binding allows handwritten notes to be entered easily on a flat surface and it’s small enough to take with you on a ride.

Many of the categories in the Kiwi Bike Log came about from talking with other bike riders and asking them what they would want in a bike log.

If anyone has any suggestions on how to improve this Log Book please feel free to contact me. I wish you all safe riding, blue skies, open roads and cafés around every corner.

And remember, “The older we get, the better we were!”
