American wandering New Zealand

[the vet]

From the Farm, I meandered back to Auckland, spent a few more days with Ralph and family, sold the V-Strom and then flew back to the US the next day....NZ residence application pending.

For touring NZ by motorbike, although I have not ridden the BMW 800.....if I could afford it and accessorize it properly, that might be my bike of choice....but the 650 V-Strom would be my second choice....practical, reliable, affordable, comfortable, awesome range, smooth, easy to maintain. No single bike can do it all....the V-strom came close.

Here she is, ready for sale, job well done.

...the woman....well falling in 'like' has become fallen in 'love'...we'll see what the future holds.

I'm currently back in New Zealand; have been here since mid August and working in Christchurch full time since September. I took a job opportunity I could not pass up back in Colorado beginning Feb 2012...but I'll be back again...to split time between my 2 favorite places in the world is my dream...you've got to dream.
