    Scottish Biker Chick moving to Wanaka

    Hey all!!
    I will be moving to Wanaka in a couple of weeks for the winter season. Unfortunately I will be leaving my bike in Scotland...Boooooo.
    I've just completed a solo tour of Europe on a Fazer 600...was awesome and a perfect bike for the job.
    Anyway I'm looking to meet fellow bikers and some advice or direction pointed on bike ownership in NZ. such as do you have MOTs? or what are they called in NZ etc etc.......
    Once the snow season finishes I'm looking to buy a bike and ride around the South & North Island and possibly over to Oz too.........so any advice would be muchly appreciated!!

    And of course any bikers who would like to meet for a beer would be great as I know no one in Wanaka/New Zealand!!!
    I'm a 26 female...into bikes, snowboarding, extreme sports and used to work on Oil Rigs as an engineer........No this is not a personal add so keep your GSH/WLTM/THM bull cr*p to yourself!! would be cool to meet others with similar interests!!

    Can't wait to see your country!!!

    Chris

    Welcome to KB and soon to be NZ...Wanaka is a wonderful place, we were there about three years ago and unfortunately my lasting memory is having a wisdom tooth pulled, the South Island is glorious and stunning.

    Dodgy?? Dodgy!! Fine, interesting, dedicated riders maybe...

    You'll love Wanaka and the South Island. Its a bikers paradise. There are threads on here from others with similar questions, I suggest you look through the Visitors sub-forum.

    As for buying bikes, Trademe is the main buy/sell site in NZ. Ebay doesn't feature. Plenty of good people and helpful advice on here.

    Although Wanaka is a long way away from Hawkes Bay.... welcome to New Zealand. We do have some great riding roads in our country. If you get up here in the North Island - give us a call, would love to get together for a chat and coffee/beer.

    Don't worry a single 26 yr old woman is not going to remain friendless in Wanaka during the snow season for long...
