    Bike required for January

    Hello everyone, name is Ivor.....currently in the uk, but will be visiting NZ in January for hols. Thought this would be the best way to meet like minded peeps, and do a ride out or two. Will be after a cheap bike for the rides, so what have you in your garage thats collecting dust. Will be staying for 5 weeks so even a private rental would be considered. Advise on insurance would be useful too guys. Cheers!

    Keep in touch Dude, I'm down in the lower north island, though i don't have a cheap bike for sale, i can offer a feed and a night or twos hospitallity down this way !

    Local social group of riders and don't mind showing off a few good roads in our area !
    A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
    The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"

    Bowls can wait !

    You have probably found this, but if not, there are plenty of threads with photos etc from others who have done NZ, pretty sure you could take a number of good ideas from some of them !

    A mousetrap strategically placed upon your alarm clock ensures you get out of bed a bit lively.
