Hi everyone,
My name is Andrew, I'm 27 and I'll be moving to Dunedin in September from Perth, Western Australia. I'm currently a member of Perth Streetbikes (www.perthstreetbikes.com) and I ride a 1998 Kawasaki ZX6R which I will be selling before moving and buying a 2008 Suzuki GSX-R750.
I hope to ride with you guys & gals soon.

Perth is giving me the shits. I've lived here all my life and now it's boring. I have friends in Dunedin and it didn't take too much convincing to move over. I'm not looking forward to the winters though, I thought riding in thunderstorms was bad, snow is going to be a complete joke.

Plus the grit they put down after snow or ice, thats not fun either! What you gonna do over here?

I'm hoping to score an IT job (that's what I do at the moment). I've been keeping and eye on Seek and TradeMe and there's not much but there's still a few months before I move over.

Well I made it but now I'm bikeless until I get a job and a few bills paid off then it's time to save for an '09 GSX-R1000 which I'll probably purchase next summer at this rate. Went to central Otago for a weeks holiday and saw Alexandra, Wanaka, Clyde, Cromwell, Queenstown, Arrowtown....well I'm going to have to do it all again once I have the bike, not a straight road in sight, it was AWESOME! Even just riding around Dunedin is going to be more fun than riding around Perth.
