[_intense_]

Hello all Wellington KB'ers, been a long time comming, but im moving up the the capital! having just handed in my resignation today im still buzzing/shocked. The plan is to be up there bt the start of june, although i havent got the details sorted out yet, my cibbie may be a week or three behind me, i may leave it in Timaru, grab a cheap flight back and ride her up (i wouldnt want to miss the great ride by transporting her up...)
I will be working in on of Wellys many fine cafes (plying my trade) and have a couple of mates up there allready, but im keen to meet as many motorway-hardened riders as possible to show me the sweet local roads, (i hear the Rimutakas are alright? ) also wondering where people would reccommend i go to get my honda serviced, is the official honda shop saywers/motorad? any suggestions? what a crazy few weeks a head of me i so frikkin excited, and more than a lilttle aprehensive (being a country lad at heart..) but i'm looking foward to hanging out in mojo/fidels/lafare/peoplescoffee/ministryof-food and talking bikes maybe have a few quiets?

man, 28 days to go and couning down! see you soon KB'ers!

Great place to live and the cafe capital of the world , at one stage anyway.
Yes I think Sawyners in Newtown are still official Honda dealers but you will find Wellington such a nice 'small' compact town to live in that you may hardly use the bike except for weekends. Which part of Wellington are you staying in ?? Any parking for the bike? A lot of areas only have onroad parking and you have to take the wind into account if wanting to cover the bike. Suggest if no ' around the back ' or garage available, advertise to rent a nearby garage. Just try and keep it off the street as some roads are so darn narrow. Welcome and perhaps we will meet at some stage.

_Intense_ thats one nice CBR in your profile pic... be sure to do as Lord Derosso mentions.. keep it off the path, and sheltered.. ya dont want anyone messing with your pride and joy... Good luck in the Capital plying your trade. Take it easy =)

That is one very nice looking bike. Just remember to check out your insurance claus too re parking the bike. I am lucky enough to have a driveway, enclosed carport and the bike is out of sight away from the road and kept covered, locked and bolted with a K3 steel lock. Also security lights all round. Even so some insurance companies require bikes to be chained to a bolt as well!!. Hopefully you should be OK just get it off the road.

Good stuff. Be good to see you around the cafes, and eventually on the roads. Will hook up for some coffee at some stage soon.

Sawyers aren't Honda agents anymore (Hondas are just too slow). Motomart is the Honda dealer now. Talk to Sparky Bills.

Welcome to the Capital. Can always find room for an extra bike on the roads.

You're certainly moving up at the right time of the year. My better half's family come from Timaru way and I understand it's not the best winter biking weather down that way.

Oh, and if you get home sick... Vivace, from cch, has just opened up on featherston street, not a bad drop of coffee :-)
Been getting my quads from there twice a day, never too bad.
