Hello out there!!!
Newbie member.
Arrived in Wellington March this year from the UK. Finally managed to fulfil the dream of adventure for the family by emigrating overseas.
Had a bike in the UK (Yam YZF-R6R k7) but sold it in 2010 in readiness for emigration although unfortunately didn't happen that year.
Just purchased 2011 Suzuki GSR750 and looking forward to getting back into the biking scene.
Cheers
Chris

Great to have you with us. There some good people in the Wellington area so I'm sure you'll find plenty of riders to join in on.

Well you are back in now and what a day to join, would be a great day to be riding instead of stuck at work. Plenty of choice of riding groups to join in with.

Cool. Thanks for the replies.
Where and when are the regular ride outs ?
All I know at the moment is many riders head on over to Martinborough via the Rimutaka's of a weekend.
Cheers

Welcome to NZ and Welly Chris. What part of Welly are you in and where from in the UK.
I'm a Geordie living in Whitby. Been here almost 17 years now. You will love this place and there are some great roads to ride here locally
