Hallo Thrasher!
welcome onboard and to NZ too.
as everyone's already said, you've got great roads around there.
You might want to find your way up to Pukekohe when the other KB boys turn up for their sessions.
Hope to meet you one day too.

And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

Hi R1Thrasher. Welcome to NZ and to KiwiBiker.
You have some great roads. Ah, the Waioeka Gorge.....I've scraped my toesliders there a couple of times (it doesn't happen often!!).
Just take care if you're going round the coast road (SH35) - traditionally it seems to have more than its fair share of wandering livestock - everything from cows to sheep to pigs to horses...and sometimes humans wandering in the middle of the road too!
Gisborne used to have a street race which was really good, but the last one was nearly two years ago and I'm not sure that they'll run it again. It was down by the big Montana plant by the beach (can't remember the names of the streets)
.
Being frustrated is disagreeable.
But the real disasters in life begin when you get what you want.
...And hello from me!
How did you end up going to Gisbourne? Seems a bit random if you've not been to NZ before (but of course, you may have been).
Where in the Old Country are ye fae? (I'm an Aberdonian... just don't call me a Teuchter or mention sheep and I'll play nice..!)
:spudwave:

We have friends here who emmigrated a couple of years ago...we've been on holiday a couple of times to Gizzie and really liked the weather and laidback lifestyle, then in Dec 03 i was made redundant so instead of wastin' away in the uk lookin' for work we thought we would use the money to finance a move to NZ. My partners a nurse so she got work at the hospital here no problem....as for me i'm still lookin' :disapint: but i'm sure i'll pick something up soon enough.....so you're a sheep sha...... only kidding, i'm from Alexandria down by Loch Lomond and my partner's from Renfrew......what's your story then....Originally Posted by jazbug5

Not really been on long enough to welcome .... but will anyway![]()
hello and welcome. :spudwave:
Hoots mon, c'mon in, here geeus yur jaecket!
Welcome, it's a grand wee country no doot! You must be in the wrong part of the country, had 15 to 20 bikes go past my place yesterday afternoon, just in ones & twos.
Guy on a retro style Bonneville saw me hacking down the toi-toi and stopped for a yarn & smoke so there are bikes out there.

Welcome![]()
The world will look up and shout "Save Us!", and I'll whisper "no"
What kinda work are you looking fer ???
Not even with yours!!!
i,ve spent the last 20 years working in the Warehouse , Dristribution, Logistics world so something similar or something new i don't really mind much..! i know there are loads of jobs in that field in Auckland but down here in Gizzy it's a bit tougher trying to get something....Originally Posted by duckman
I suppose Tauranga is a bit too far away to work (could be a fun daily commute thoughOriginally Posted by R1Thrasher
). I think that's you nearest port. Cajun would probably have a better clue.
There are a lot of logistics outfits operating out of the Port of Tauranga, including the company I work for, Carter Holt Harvey. The logistics arm is called Lodestar. A bit far if you intend to stay in Gisborne though.
If you look up "Logistics vacancies in NZ" in Google, you'll find a heap of positions although not necessarily in Gisborne. Alternatively, stay in Gisborne, grow grapes or electric puha (someone else will explain that) and chill out.
