    Motorcycle park plan crashes

    "A British immigrant who spent $1 million building an off-road motorcycle park near Murchison has sold the property and is returning to England – disillusioned, with his dreams in tatters and his company in liquidation."

    probably 1-200 km from picton, ish, maybe a bit more, in the South Island, farken hot in summer (think 30's in the shade) but zero population.

    I've always thought that when you start a new venture, you should have some customers near by? Maybe this guy had a radical new plan that didn't need customers near by?

    Mr Collins said yesterday he was forced to sell the property this year because "no-one supported it".

    Yep. It's just too far away from anywhere.

    And if he got off-side with the Bandy family it would just add to his problems.

    guess he was thinking far out the good for nothing shit block a land is cheap and lost sight of the fack there is next to no one there to support it and most that would live down that way would have or know some one with land they could ride on for free. now do the same thing near a main center and your on the right track.
