    Bad electrics? Check.
    Cost a fortune? Check.
    Constant maintenance? Check.

    Sounds like you'll fit right in! Welcome, and everything you've heard about NZ is probably true!

    Oops! Of course! In fact pretty much anything an Australian says, is probably only due to jealousy!

    Very nice!
    Did you guys have to go through the limited production approval scheme?

    Ahh, what about insurance prices for cars and bikes?

    Thanks!!

    Nothing strange about the Daytona!

    Welcome to the nuthouse.

    Welcome aboard Frio.

    See you've had the customary KB welcome and are still here. Always a good sign.

    As for whether NZ will suit you or not. Best way to find out is come over for a month, hire a bike, cruise around and decide after if it's the place for you.

    You'll find a lot of generous bastards here willing to provide a bed or couch, cold one (beer) and show you their local haunts (favourite roads).

    A for the Daytona. There's a few here, so I can't see bringing one over to be too much of a hassle.

    Wellington is a good choice for a home base. It's central, you can cruise north you can cruise south. you can stay at home and risk your life on the Goat-Track-o'Death.

    Hey Frio, does your name mean 'cold'?

    Worked in the wrecking-yards of Los Angeles with Mexican labourers and that was the word we used for the beer-cooler.

    Doesn't matter where you come from, you always need a beer cooler.
