i moved from chch to auckland back in 94 and flew back down to bring my GPz900R up....THAT was a farkin good ride

it rained from Kaikoura to Wellington which was a bit of a bummer, found a cheap motel in Levin to park up for the night, then had a ripping day in the sun from Levin to Aucks...awesome ride

chucking bike in a crate makes it cheaper. i've sent two bikes to the south island for $300 each via tolltranzlink.

I did once they were sold!

My parents don't want me getting another project. Took a while to convince them to get me the loan for a 3rd bike. The realised they'd rather have a say in what I can get now than when I'm 18 I go out and buy a turbo'd ZX14 and start pushin to pay for it

I'm in exactly the same position. A beauty of an NC30 was on TradeMe and in Christchurch pretty much the same time as I got back from England (couple of weeks ago). I had it on my watchlist and it didn't meet the reserve. Couple of days later I had an email saying the seller was offering it at a fixed price - $3400. I justabout had a seisure, thought frantically for a bit, and then decided to accept the offer and buy it. But some fucker beat me to it - I nearly cried!

But I'll be back. NC30 / NC35 for me is very high up the consideration list. Bloody restricted licence...
