Hi all,
Back in NZ, and back into biking here, so thought I would join the rest of ye. Quick intro, I've been riding bikes most of my life, started on the farm.

I had an XR650 for a while, rode that across Aussie with three mates:

Had a CBX750 and a TDM 850 in Europe for a shorter while, did a fair bit of riding in Ireland and a wee bit in Europe:

Didn't do any motorcycle riding in China, but even a pushbike was harrowing enough there:

And now, I'm back in Christchurch, NZ. I'm looking into electric motorcycles at the moment, and have just got a converted RG150 on the road:

Hello Matt! Welcome to the circus!

Have you seen the electric scooters that are being imported at the moment. They are streets ahead in the technology department (but horribly expensive).

I can't find a NZ site but I believe they are being imported by Scooter e-motion here in Auckland.
