I heard there is good riding in the south, had a friend come home raving of the west coast a few years back.

Yeah, there are - but so are there around the East Coast down to Southern Hawkes Bay. Infact, most of NZ has great roads. Get your self a bike map, seen them around somewhere, and go cruising........... Best time to do the south island is probably about now through to late March, but most of the North Island is good most of the time

Welcome to KB and also to NZ.

Great riding here and 90% of the roads are empty (ish).

London's a big place!

Where are you from in London?

Yip........... that is sensible information to give someone who is new to NZ!

Esp from someone who calls themselves a driving instructor :rofl: thought they were supposed to be helpful not help someone to get lost..............

Hi there jjjim,

Welcome to NZ and KB. If you are ever looking for really good roads - Hawkes Bay is the place for good roads :wari: and the BEST weather :woohoo:

Hope you settle in NZ and KB in no time :yes:
