Good morning all.

K, after some creative thinking and some help from people who actually know what they are doing we have our webpage up and running.

This is Ellen's and my first attempt at an internet page so have a gork and sift through it and let us know what ya think.

We wonna make it friendly, funny and readable and make sure the set out is easy to follow for old people (like us) and easy to understand.

It is work in progress and will be added to as fabrication, setup and goodies come along so be patient, if you spot a porblem or errorr or sepelling mitsake have your people talk to my people and we will get it sorted.

Our site is run on gurgle blogspot and we bought the corporation domain name before Bill Gates got down on it so this is us .......www.twomotokiwis.com

So fill ya boots and all comments are welcome, hope everyone is enjoying the snow :wings:.

Chur ..... TMK ...Andi and Ellen.

Coolio, hopefully info from our trip will assist yours, there are heap of blogs and sites to go to as well, the internet has made the world very small.

yep - lots of info out there, and how to beat the dodgy cops! :Punk:

Got some friends riding through South America soon - have asked them to advise any free camp spots along the way.

Great job you two. Impressive effort getting to grips with the website. (By the time I've come to grips with my new phone/ GPS etc they are generally obsolete).:facepalm:!I'll be watching your progress and living vicariously next year.

Thanks for the props fellas and fellesses, KBers get a mention under our Sponsors Tag to remember. :Punk:

Padmei, no nose rubbing ....well yet... at least not until May next year <_< , but we are seriously grateful however to even have this opportunity of a lifetime and be able to grab it, some people make investments in building and shares we are investing in some fun and life experience, not sure if is the right move but time will tell.

Night Falcon ... make your bucket list come to fruition, there is never a perfect time to go so just draw a line in the sand sooner than later.

So seriously, our site is not perfect and will need tinkering and adjusting and shit needing added so please feel free to make a comment and suggestions.

Coolio and I am off to bed now.

Cheers mate, really appreciate your kind words.

To the best of my knowledge what happens is that you will buy expensive gifts from all the places you visit and send them to all those that have subscribed...I am sure that's how it works, yes, that is what should happen :yes:

Well we went to Auckaloafa on Thursday for our Friday morning interrogation/interview with the US Embassy, long and short is it went well and we are allowed into the US.:sweatdrop :innocent:

So we obtained our B1/B2 VISA which is coul... BUT bloody hell we got butt#%*&^$d $15.00 for one hour parking by Wilsons :shit: .... I feel violated!!

We made a trip of it and went to Dargaville to see a mate, went up the East Coast and came back down the West Coast... only in a rental car though, we had soggy sun for most of it but we enjoyed ourselves and were tree-ted to seeing the Tane big mofo Kauri trees ... seriously cool.

May 3rd approaching real quick and our "Shit to do" list has not shortened yet.
