New member introducing himself & saying hello to everyone (Johny Brando)

[Johny Brando]

Hi (from another Ex-pat)
I lived down South for 14yrs, before moving to Wellington.. I'd say you have the 'balance' right.. (timewise) There are some astounding roads in the North, but if you watched the Worlds greatest rides.. He's right, can the South Isle really be any better? Yes it bloody IS!
Depending on your 'bent' bike event wise, a good start might be to get here for the Burt Munro Challenge in Invergumboot. You will meet a big cross section of NZ biking, from all over the country. There really are so many riding options, West coast rd, Central Otago, across either or both passes Lindis/Arthur's, the ride into Milford is absolutely bloody spectacular on a bike.
There are so many variables of local knowledge for back roads, alternative routes you'll probably not even get a chance to explore half of them in a month.
As already commented, if you keep a running update in here, you'll find the Kiwi hospitality and 'open home' mentality, will make your stay/ride a truly outstanding experience.


The SR500 is a nice choice for a 'stroll' round NZ

THANKS for the warm reply ...much appreciated. I hope to make many good friends & contacts along the way. What date is the Burt M Challange ??? I would luv to attend it if possible. Please I'd be happy for you any any other like minded Kiwi Biker to send me contact details so I can try & tee up with you guys at every opportunity... please email leeshelford@bigpond.com Thanks & B careful aye .

Please feed the trolls.This place would get boring without them.


PS.Welcome to the site.

Hey, never mind Feeding these Troll's .............I've heard they taste like Chicken !! ...especially the juvernil one's ! but you need 3 of em for a good meal & it's best to marinate them for 48 hours in old un-washed sock containing a mixture of Gusset Juice & Stout ! Mmmmmmmmm. How do you get the gusset Juice there in NZ ? Haha . Cheers, Lee ..... aka -Johny Brando

Observation: how come the proud and true Englishmen don't live there?

I did reply earlier today to this ..but cannot see it anywhere ! ( maybe I'm having a Senior moment ! ) well..............................
Answer to above the above observation............
They've all been driven out !
In the UK when I left 20 years ago it was well on it's way to ruin .... which had it's origin back in the 60's . I wanna say this.........I"m proud of what the UK was & what that small Island nation did for the World........ NOT what is now ! I'm really sorry & embarressed to say this ...." It's now the Worlds best Rubbish Dump " this I believe caused by many things ...but mainly idiot Bureaucrats & Politicians with their own agenda's who over regulated & over taxing the arse out of every one & everything also mindless Minority groups ....force feeding their misguided wants & beliefs onto the majority. Immigration ruling that over-run & crippled n disadvantaged the Indigonous Englishman/woman who just happened to fund all that from the taxes they screwed n cheated out of every one ! I could go on but I won't . PLEASE don't let NZ go the same way ...be wise & learn from others mistakes. Time for my Deep breathing exercises
, relaxology tape & big Spiff. Over n Out . Johny Brando n the Wild Bunch

Welcome.

You'll be here during our national championship road racing series I think. Catch a couple rounds of that and you'll meet enough Kiwi bikers for a life time.

Hey Drew , thanks for the reply. Any chance of relaying the dates & location of the Series races covering the period say Jan 7 through to say Feb 10th & bearing in mind my first 3 weeks will be in the South Island & I havn't really got a direction in which to travel the Island as yet because I'm trying to get a collection of events & gatherings in first......which will probably then dictate the travel direction & final route that I'll take. Like I said in my "Hello to Kiwi biker land " I'm hoping to get in as much bike orientated shit ( race meets, Classic events & shows,swap meets etc etc )as I can ............so please please don't hold back guy's & let me know whats being planned aye !
Thanks alot Drew & every one else out there who has taken the trouble to say hello to me.
P.S. Luv the Kiwi sense of Humour & the fact you can say exactly what u want without some frigging politically incorrect Twat trying to chastize you.........& nah thats not an invite for you lot to gang up on me now ...haha

Proposed dates for the 2014 NZSBK Series are:
Round 1, Ruapuna Park,Christchurch,January 4th and 5th
Round 2, Levels park,Timaru, January 11th and 12th
Round 3 Hampton Downs March 14th and 15th
Round 4 Taupo Motorsport park March 21st and 22nd

So looks like you will only manage to catch the Timaru round with the dates you indicated.

Levels is not a bad track to spectate, all things considered. Ruapuna is the best though. Biggest crowd, and you can literally take your bike all the way round to viewing points if you're too lazy to walk.
