Well 6 weeks from this sunday ill be moving up to Hammy, cant wait to get out of welly been here all my life. It was either up north or down south, hmmm my Ducati down south in winter i think not, carbs too exposed. I know im going to miss the Rimutaka hill. Dont know any riders up north so would like to meet ya all and get to know some good roads to blat on.
:Punk:

Good luck, from the comments the boys and girls have about the roads up that way sounds like a lot of fun to be had on new roads for you.
Wouldn't mind giving the Coromandel Loop a go myself at some stage.

[Eddieb]

I'm jealous, back to my hometown. I'd love to do the same.

There's some good riding up there, I'm sure Quasi or someone can show you the Raglan deviation and the Kaimai's over to Tauranga is a similiar distance as the Rimutaka hill is from Wellington. Not as tight but a much nicer surface.

Plus the Coromandel is not far up the road and theres lots of good back country roads with little traffic. :ride:

Got any jobs where you're going? :whistle:

[bugjuice]

plenty of us ;)
hope the move goes well

[PhilBilly]

Im trying to get some interviews up there on mon, but theres more chef jobs up there than last year. Registerd with drake temping, hopfully i can get a sous chef job. Havent been to Coromandle, been to Tauranga and Ragland in a car but not bike.

Welcome soon to Hams, You'll find some good roads up here. Raglan for a quick one and of course the legonary?? 22.
Let us know if I can be any help with arrangements up this way. :)

Was quite happy to leave. Good place for those who don't mind not being close to the sea. Raglan was awesome for the weekends though :niceone:

[madboy]

Hey Phil, was good to meet you at the top of Paekak the other day. So you made the big decision aye? Good on ya, I hope it works out well.

One day I'll get a leave pass for long enough and might come thru!

Cheers,
Mike.

There seems to be a lot of people moving here lately, Ham's is not a bad place to live, there are heaps of cool little bars and cafes, and you are not far from a lot of places. there are heaps of cool roads not far from here and seems to be a few of us on the site so i'm sure you will find one of us to ride with :niceone:

[Waylander]

Heh, yea yea nice wheather, better roads bla bla bla.... Oh wait yea have to agree with all that. Shame town sucks on a friday night, who needs clubs when someones house will do and is much more fun, and if ya get to drunk to ride home just pull up a couch. Yep seems Hamilton isn't that bad after all lol. Can't wait to meet ya Philbilly.


(edit) Oh and I think I just might know that teacher Slip is talkin about :whistle:

Thats one thing I really do miss from welly.. Decent nightlife, and still being able to catch a latenight train/bus home when your on the turps.

[Motu]

I'm coming down that way myself in the same time frame,to a small town 20mins north of Ham - the best roads around just a km from my door....

[Eddieb]

And I'll be up visiting next weekend, in the car though.

[NC]

Take me with you :cry: I want to go to Waikato Uni. There's an aweome teacher there, she knows her stuff. Plus that's where all the nice weather is.
Nice weather? Fucken bullshit! Hamilton is a swamp!
The nice weather is in the Mount :D

Unless you're out at Titahi Bay - there's no bus to the Bay after the last Unit arrives at Porirua, just one going to Porirua East. By the time you lurch home to the Bay you've sung all the songs you know and you're fuckin' sober. :angry2: what a waste of all that money spent on grog.

And NC30_chick's right. It's a fucking swamp here, but welcome anyway Philbilly, hope you like pea-soup fog, pervasive damp cold :cold: and sweltering humidity. Have a safe trip up here, anyway.

Hehe must be why I like the wheather here so much, other than the swamp bit it's just like Texas, only cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. Go figure, think it has something to do with the ocean bein only about an hour and a half to the east or west.

that's where all the nice weather is.

Last night's TV3 news had an article about an English pilot training company who have just opened up a flying school in Hamilton - they want their pilots to train in Hamilton because it gets heaps of fog and rain!!
