Pros and cons: Canadian riding in new zealand?

**sunhuntin** · 11th December 2006, 20:45

hey gang....as mentioned in PF's thread in general, my partner is thinking about going for his passport and coming over here from canada.
hes been riding since he was a kid, basically, and is now 56. a bike accident 12 years ago nearly killed him and left him brain injured.
he has several convictions from the 70s [not sure what kind]
he owns and rides an 83 shovel, and a 65 pan. deckers [electra glides]
what rules/laws apply to him here, other than the same as us? can he ride on his license? if so, for how long? is he cc limited at all? if he does come over, the license deal will be the decider in whether i find him a bike here, or whether he pillions with me.
how does insurance work for foreigners?

any advice much appreciated...id love to have him over here, and him be able to ride his own bike, but am also happy to play taxi, as he did for me for 6 months while i was there.

Not sure if this will help...as I'm not sure if it applies to Bike Licences.

My wifes Canadian and when she went for her Drivers licence she just had to do a scratch test. No practial driving test needed as they like Canadian licences.
Now on the other hand when I go to live in Canada next year I have to sit a practical test. Bastards!! lol

With his convictions will he be allowed into the country?

watch out for fuckin niggers in hoodies trying to run you into the bushes.

thanks harry. im not sure on the convictions things. from what i guess, they are minor, and 30-odd years old. doesnt touch the stuff these days and rarely drinks. i know american stops him at the borders all the time, so he doesnt bother trying to get through, but then they stop almost everyone!

I had my Canadian nephew out a couple of years ago,he has no bike licence,but just drove any car he like...no problems.He has dual citizenship,but doubt that has much to do with it.

That's what it was comming from the states aswell. He may even be able to ride around for a year before having to get his liscence converted over aswell. But he would need to carry his passport on him at all times just incase he does get pulled over. That one I know from experiance.

She's using that to try and get rid of the plethora of STDs she got from you.

And so I missed a letter, if you're twice as brain dead as you act you should be able to figure it out.

Tell her to fucken harden up.

All the best pro's have a bit of gangreneous fanny batter, it's cheaper than lube and doubles up as dip for the post coital corn chips.

Brain dead, nice one special ed. How's that degree in truss nailing working out for you these days?
