Hi from Ireland (BirdXX)

[BirdXX]

Moving over in January, other half is a Kiwi, love the place myself so seems like a good idea to move over!

Bringing my '03 Blackbird over, it's hopefully shipping early Dec in a container with the other half's cage (can't even give it away over here, nobody's buying) some of our household stuff, so I might get it sometime in January.

Still wading through all the import stuff. Hoping to be able to drive it around on Irish plates for a while, just for the hell of it...

[Usarka]

The guiness here tastes like shit!

But welcome over anyways :D Irelands a great place just a tad cold over winter....

[portokiwi]

Welcome. Which great city are you moving too.:2thumbsup

[Blackbird]

Welcome - lots of Blackbirds here. If you want to know about registering your bike and clearing the docks etc, send a PM to Freebird as he imported his 'bird a couple of years ago. Oh, and he's Irish but we don't hold that against him (much:2thumbsup) as he's a great mate. Where are you planning on living? Are you a member of the UK BIRD website that Jaws runs? Stock up on 'bird bling from Jaws before you come as the exchange rate is a killer at present.

welcome to the whanau dude!

[BirdXX]

Heading for Auckland.

I'm on Jaw's site, but not active much. I've got some of his stuff already, his bar-risers with preload adjustment are great.

I'll track down Freebird, thanks for the info.

Don't I know it! Still, I've developed a taste for Speights Old dark over the years so I should be ok!

[BirdXX]

Post count not high enough to send a PM. If anyone knows Freebird could you ask him to PM me?

Thanks

I feel sorry for you...

[BirdXX]

You should try Smithwicks, real slop. I'm not that fussy, wet and alcoholic is usually all I ask...

[Freebird]

I'm here PM sent

Great to see someone from the homeland with impeccable taste in bikes :yes:

What colour is your Bird please tell me its not a slow BLUE one as favoured by the bunch of jessie’s up in Auckland and Coro :2thumbsup :dodge:

[Freebird]

Ah from Wicklow

Did the Wicklow Way about 22 years ago and my feet still hurt :laugh:

Whats wrong with Smithwicks? Any port in a storm :beer:

[yod]

yes!

another bird in the roost

welcome

[BirdXX]

My 'bird is the best and fastest colour, black. No hairdressers colours for me!

Did some of the Wickow Way a few weeks ago, great walk but Coilte (the forestry people) have sanitised some of it by widening the paths and laying gravel, so it has lost some of its charm in places.

Welcome dude!!! I got a bike a month ago, but I'm still waiting for my gear...container in Auckland tho....:soon:

[Fatt Max]

Welcome matey,

If the Paddies dick the AB's tomorrow morning, pretend you are English. We win f*k all so no-one will be made at you.

And look out for the possums, they steal wallets....!!!

Hi birdxx Im moving over from Ireland in january aswell so good luck on your move. Just a quick question about what company your using for bringing your stuff over? Is it a full contanier or a groupage container? Thanks

[Swoop]

Looks like there will soon be a few more accents in Auckland...

Hi Racerhead, using Oman transport, their local agent in Auckland is The Moving Company. Hope that helps.

Great biking country, you'll enjoy it. Go n'eiri an bothar leat!

[portokiwi]

Wish we used the moving coy. So much of our gear was smashed. Now we are having a battle for damage. Might have to kiss it good buy. Filled up those new Blue lid recycle bins with smashed plates cups and glasses.

[BirdXX]

Bloody Munster aye !!! Nearly !
What a match! and that was Munster's second-string side! Made up for last saturday. At least Munster play like they care about the result...

From the UK we used the Excess Baggage Company. We found they were quite cheap and provided excellent, hassle-free service. http://www.excess-baggage.com/
