    That particular Harley was a loaner but it handled great... but then I tend to ride big-blocks as tho they are just giant sporty's he he he... I was riding with a mate who was testriding a Buell XB and the Harley was leading the way!
    Just got the Buell these days and still in lust with it! Just had the 84,000km service done!

    Cool

    Kia ora and welcome to KB.


    Nice bikes you have owned in the past.


    When you come over to NZ, you must see both islands (North and South). Take about a 2 months holiday break to see all of NZ.
    Best time is in our summer months November throu to March..........

    Two months! Jeeeeez, my tongue ain't long enough to grovel with the suits at work for that amount of time off
    In the beginning, there was nothing. Then the Lord said: "Let there be light"...
    and there was still fuck all, but at least you could see it!....

    Cool

    So time it around your annual 3 or 4 weeks holiday (xmas time when the business shuts down) and then add on another 4 weeks. There is your 8 weeks.


    Seriously you cant rush around and expect to see all of NZ in 4 weeks.

    4 weeks to see one island maybe...

    NZ is really Godszone and a beautiful place to see with so many other things to do as well.

    Four weeks hol's and four weeks sick............sorted!

    What's the summer season like then? Are both Islands much alike regarding the climate?

    November to March, Christmas in the sun....sounds cool.

    Absolutely... it amazes me when people visit for 4 wks and go home saying they've seen New Zealand... and altho the Sth Is seems to be the main attraction for overseas visitors the North Is is just as great! Beaches and bush galore...

    Cool

    Tis sunny in both islands...

    The further north you go the hotter it is.

    The lads and gals in the south island can give you a better idea of what summer is like - Dangerous, Rashika, Scumdog, Virago and sniper to name a few.

    Im up in Auckland and we have great weather up here.

    Northland is more hotter- TLrider and RiderInBlack

    Gisborne and also Napier/Hastings is always hot and sunny over the summer months - Yungatart and MSTRS

    Wellington area - Hitcher, Jim600, Cowpoos and NC to name a few.

    So you could contact them to check out what is the happening in there areas over the summer months.

    Just got the Buell these days and still in lust with it! Just had the 84,000km service done!
    errr...now dont mention that that mate was:
    - new to the Buell
    - new to Auckland roads/motorways/rain
    - new to riding anything over 750CCs
    - and hadn't riden for about 6 months
    AND had anticipated riding the Deuce back on the test ride but WASN'T ALLOWED cos SOMEONE wouldn't GIVE it UP! hmmmm?

    So it was okay, you were allowed to lead...
    not that i really woulda had much choice anyway!

    Oh yeah welcome to KB Ogr1


    from said mate who now owns a beast the same as she took for a ride....fkn beauty!
