Overseas/foreign posters

I'm just wondering, except for people who are coming over here in the short term and ex-pats, why do people from other countries read/post on a New Zealand motorcycling forum??

i post in a few groups on msn....mainly american, but also canadian as well. i do it to learn about other countries and different view points etc. i also use them to build friendships whereby i can use the other person as "homebase" should i ever travel to that country....i have used it successfully for 6 months, lol. also ideal to learn where decent places to visit and sights to see might be. "virtual tourist" lol.

also good if they post photos...one guy lives in florida, and he posts photos almost daily that hes taken on his morning ride...great to see whats out there.

I suspect at least some of the overseas posters google a particular subject, and KiwiBiker is included in the hits they get.

I live here for the motorcycling.....and the gigs....and the friends....and the landscape.....and the quality of life.

well it's like this; the interweb thingy, that works ALL over the world, so sometimes, when people in japan, or america, or even australia are bored, they use their computer to send lights and special messages to other computers, and if they like BIKES, then the little web spider will show them this corner of the web, and they can read all about how hard done by we are here in enzed, especially with those nasty police officers, and those road guys that are too lazy to mark where gravel has spilt onto the road, or those auckland yuppies that buy houses in the country, and are too lazy/poor/dumb to seal thier driveway, so thier flash suv brings dirt onto the road. anyway, sometimes too, people from new zealand get onto these big flash things called AEROPLANES, and fly (well the aeroplane flys - the people just sit inside it) to other places in the world, usually landing at an airport, and then visiting family or other friends (if they have any) or just hanging by themselves and picking up drunk english birds at dodgy mediterranian resorts, but that's another story.....

on the other hand, maybe they think it's a dating site........
