That sounds a right pain in the arse Johnny. Might change my mind and flog the Bandit here and buy one in NZ (with the right clocks). Although it would be difficult as I have an irrational, emotional attachment to the bike. Excuse the ignorance but what or who is MAF?
I'm good thanks George. How are you doing? Good to know that I can still get some haggis in N.Z. Nothing like some sheep's brains to fill you up. The more I hear from you guys about importing, the more I am thinking I won't bother! Which logistics company did you use please?
Would be very tempted to move as previously mentioned the house prices in Auckland are crazy high. Problem is that I am a step granddad to a lovely little Kiwi girl that stays in Auckland. She would miss me loads if I moved away. Looking forward to spending some time touring. We haven't been to South Island yet. I hear it is stunning. Thanks very much for the welcome. I'm really looking forward to coming over.
I think nowadays the dislike Scottish people have is of the politics of Westminster not England in general. People from Liverpool, Newcastle and Glasgow have more similarities than differences in my opinion. The anti Westminster thing would seem to be a reasonable explanation for Scotland voting no to independence but then throwing out every Westminster party at the UK general elections. So loads of no to independence voters must have voted for the Scottish National Party at the general election. That's a shame that you had to live in Aberdeen. Wild horses couldn't drag me there to live. It's permanently bloody freezing and they really don't like west coasters up there. They also fit the Scottish stereotype of being mean and miserable with money. Also from the little that I have seen of it, I do agree New Zealand is a great place.
Lang may yer lum reek
I don't know if anyone's told you (can't be fucked reading it all) - Insurance is NOT compulsory in Godzone ... but at least 3rd party insurance is a good idea.
It depends on the company how they react to mods - and those are minor - my company (John Baker) would not even blink.
True - but then I have a huge emotional attachment to my bikes so I would want to take them with me ..
"So if you meet me, have some sympathy, have some courtesy, have some taste ..."
Welcome over mate but if your going to Auckland you better buy an umbrella!!
