    Hi, from fazer

    New to the forum - living in Hawkes Bay-from the Uk, currently running a yam fjr 1300, bought it over to do some touring - but nothing but bloody rain, looking forward to spring wen i can get to look at some twisty roads.

    Hey y'all and welcome. You'll find plenty of twisty turny roads up that way. And it will be hot too. I lived up in Wairoa and I can tell ya - it gets plenty hot.

    Welcome fazer, heading north from Napier should/must be a blast. I use to live in Rotorua and would have loved to have had a play up around the east coast, but, never owned a bike then so..............missed out....

    You picked a choice part of the country to settle in mate. Great roads and usually good weather up that way.

    Welcome fazer. A nice choice of ride! It's encouraging to see the ranks of The Big Yam riders swelling...
