    just to say hi,

    new to forum so just a greeting from me to you guys. i am in the uk until the second week in December then my life changes as i am emigrating to NZ, TE AWUMUTU to be precise, hopefully this will be a pleasent life changing experience. have sold my bikes so will be buying something when we are settled, i bought a brand new yam fazer 1000 last feb and it broke my heart to sell a couple of months back , the best bike i have ever ridden for all round ability, and probably the last new bike i will be able to afford for a long time.

    Have read alot about biking in NZ and it looks fantastic from a scenery point of veiw

    thankyou for the welcome guys, reason for Te Awumutu is that the wife has a job in Wakeria, we havent 100% decided on TA so that could change i suppose, will be renting for a start anyway, we can then get out and about to see where we want to buy. What is wrong with T A?? i have never been there just seen the web site.

    summer has just finished here and the bad weather is on its way so most bikes tend to only come out on really dry days as they cover the roads in rock salt. It only takes one winter to ruin a nice bike here, everything corrodes really quickly once the salt has got hold. looking forward to a better summer in NZ AND LONGER RIDING DAYS

    thanks again for the welcome hope to meet some of you when we are sorted.

    Welcome......
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods
