hello - i come from the shaky city of christchurch.

i have a few old bikes and i'm hoping to network with like minded individuals and maybe even find a few new riding buddies.

my main squeeze is a 1981 shovelhead 'tourglide'

no, i know who you mean though, here is the web page

http://www.taymac.co.nz/index.html

boilers, heat exchangers,industrial fans and pollution control equipment. 100 years of manufacturing, or as i see it, 100 years of shouting and hitting things with a hammer.
just imagine the guy out of "father ted" in blue overalls. "feck! arse! weld!"
