View Full Version : I'm moving to Wellington

Well, back to Wellington.

Got a call tonight and offered a job. They're paying for moving costs, Motels and transport for a month till we get set up, and a slight pay increase on top of it.

Strange world, only 18 months ago I got promoted up to Auckland, did that for 6 months, quit, started a new job, and now getting sent back home. Make the final call tomorrow, and get given times and dates sometime shortly after.

Believe it or not, i'm gonna miss Auckland though, I don't despise it nearly as much as I did 18 months ago. I've made a metric-butt load of friends up here, including many KBers, just started to get to know the good riding roads well.

At least you Auckland folks will have another option of somewhere to stay when you're tiki-touring across the North Island.

If anyone knows of anyone with a House to rent in the Western, Northern suburbs with 2+ Bedrooms and a Garage (This is a deal-breaker), let me know.

I've got those damned butterflies having a house party in my stomach again.

It's a large format retail chain. Nothing special. They've asked me to take over a struggling branch.

Anywhere between Karori and Tawa is suitable.

You're still expected up here for track days, understand?

Hope you guys enjoy Wellington again. Had a farkin' blast hanging out with you and riding in Auckland. T'was awesome. Call in on your way down. I'm half thinking of a Welly road trip at some stage as well, so if you are there by then I'll drop in.

Hi Gubb, Read your PM's

15th May 2009, 09:15
That’s cool. Let me know if you need a place to store your bike/s until you find a new home.
You know, by just parking a triumph next to a Honda the value of your bike will increase. And on rare occasions when all conditions fall into place some say you can almost see the performance radiating from the Honda and inserting itself into other bikes….


Good to have you back

Well you'll be missed up here big fella. Enjoyed our few jaunts, spannering sessions and erotic Stripler team bonding action :spanking:

We'll get another ride in before you depart civilsation I hope, maybe some more group action :chase:

You just want to raid my CD collection. I'm looking forward to meeting a bunch more of you lot. I left before I really got to know any of the KB crew apart from Weaver and 325 Rocket.

I'll certainly miss Cycletreads though.

I take it WMCC is the Triumph dealer there? You gonna look after me Pete?

Nope, Motorad got it about 18 months ago.

Gubb

Please tell me it's not that Ducati place out in Petone. Nothing but bad experiences there so far.

Already can dude. Wellington is my home town. Only been in Auckland for 18 months. There's always a bed for you down there.

Motomart is the Ducati dealer in the Hutt.

Move will be in mid-June. Assuming I find a house in time.

Yeah, that's true. It's well within our budget though. Too many toys to go without one.
