    Cool

    Kia ora and welcome to NZ..........

    When you do first get on your bike here, take it easy for a while, until you really get to know our roads.

    Oh yeah we ride on the left handside of the roads...

    Welcome. Our roads and drivers aren't THAT bad. Sure they try to kill you, but it's not personal.
    Speed doesn't kill people.

    We'll have to catch you for for a beer and a dinner on our return to NZ next year , we'll be about 30 minutes away (apart from Saturday mornings when it becomes a 1 1/2 hours.) PaulinNZ will almost be your neighbour if you can put up with hours of Guzzi talk. Best of luck with the move .... mooch

    Like that N.Z speak. I didn't think I had an accent until I came to live in Oz. Then boy did I know it, and I was reminded about it daily!

    Ever notice that anyone slower than you is an idiot, but anyone going faster is a maniac?

    He's coming from the UK, our weather's brilliant.

    KB's Wellington crew will be more than happy to show you some of the local twisties. Even more so if there's a house warming afterwards.

    If there's one thing that gets KBers moving quicker than an excuse for a ride, it's an excuse for a ride followed by a piss-up.

    Give me a PM when you get here. I live in Paraparaumu (for the time being) and can show you around a bit. When does the bike arrive?
