Hi there,

don't hold your breath about being offered a job by a Kiwi - they are slightly less willing to part with their money than a crocodile is to part with it's teeth - they are always trying to get shit on the cheap or for free.

Best bet is to look into starting up your own business.

Radical streetfighter - had heard about the German propensity for the lifted tail - a bit cartoonish really and looks odd to us since no one here does that to bikes.

Also New Zealand is not a part of Australia in the same way as Germany is not a part of Spain - they're about the same distance apart but we don't have the French in the middle!

Good luck.

Welcome badvan.
You definetly have talent. (jury is still out on the tail).:Punk:

[badvan]

THX alot!

The leather CBR isn't a real german style bike. Most fighters here are build with some "monster" masks tails and fenders.. I allways try to get the best "way" between style and function! Because a bike is for the road and not only a nice part of the living room ;)

I have a lot of ideas for all styles, from choppers to speedbikes. The problem to start my own business is just the money. So its still only a hobby.

To build motorcycles is or working in a garage isn't the only way.
Last 7 years i work as the deputy chief of the quality department in a big warehouse.

I am also able to do some other jobs, the main point is to leave germany!
And i belive New Zealand is one of the most famous places in world!

So lets see what will happen.

"don't hold your breath about being offered a job by a Kiwi - they are slightly less willing to part with their money than a crocodile is to part with it's teeth - they are always trying to get shit on the cheap or for free."

hehe belive me thats not only a Kiwi mentality :yes:
