    Goodbye Welly, hello Chch

    Due to family reasons and such I'm leaving Wellington and headed back to the south island.

    I'm going to miss the Welly crew and TCWNR and all the other rides I go on with you guys. I learnt to ride with alot of you and I learned so much from all of you.

    So I'm hopefully doing the Manfield trackday on Sunday and I'll probably come along to the next couple of TCWNR's. I'm off to Palmy to pick up my 6R on the weekend of the hillclimb, then I'm off to Christchurch on the 21st March. I'm hoping to squeeze a ride in there so I can go for one with you lot on my new bike.

    To those I don't see before I go: Thanks and see you later. I'll be back up here for roadtrips and stuff.

    I'm looking forward to meeting the Christchurch crew

    Not sure if we have met but I've been on a couple of TCWNR's and to some of the Welly lunches. (I've got a dreadful memory for names - ask Mrs Kendog). Good luck with the move and I'm sure the ChCh lot will welcome you.
    I'm only wearing black until they develop something darker

    God luck with the move - if you miss us all too much, you always know there's heaps of places to crash when you visit ('crash' is probably a bad word, but you know what I mean! LOL)
    Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way

    I reckon in the long run you will see how great this opportunity is... yes I know change is difficult, but...

    You wont regret it. Chch is great... and you have access to some great roads and destinations that are just around the corner

    Good luck with your move.

    + the lovely SH75 - Chch to Akaroa. We'll never grow tired of this beautiful, un boys-in-blue molested stretch of road. Oh, and you can cut through Gebbie's valley if you want a shorter route, too. This image should be censored.

    Oh, and look forward to meeting you, too.

    I'd live in Christchurch any day over Wellington, that is if I could find it.

    Funny, I was in a presentation with some people from Wellington and we were comparing the WLG and AUCK markets. I was discussing our experiences in Wellington then said, "... while up here in New Zealand". Oops.

    Cheers. I'm not sure how I'm going to work it cause everyone will be at the hillclimb the weekend I'm going to get it, so I might have to do an evening ride during the following week
