    Yep the tv here is NZ is awful but as WSB/MotoGP and F1 are on Sky thats fine with me.

    If i can find out how to stream eurosport for full live three day coverage of 125/250/motoGP i'll be in heaven

    I assume you read the rest of my post which said i so far love the place and will be staying for good i hope but still won't alter my view that the TV is crap when compared to the UK.

    If you've been to the UK and used a 'full' Sky+ package you will realise how crap TV is here in NZ but the country is so much better in other ways than the UK.

    Can't see me getting back on a plane for the sake of watching more TV:slap:

    Just subscribe to motogp.com and you can see everything, think its 50 euro or so for a years subscription. Sky does show live the 125/250 and motogp races every weekend. Also get live qualifying of F1 and races, also superbikes and supersport. No qualifying shown for the bikes though. I always watch it on the net.

    I've used the Motogp site for ages for the live timing which is great for using as you watch the coverage but never actually bothered with subscribing. Will need to do so i think.

    I know Sky cover all the races but sometimes the quaifying can be as good as the races.

    Yeah agree with ya there, can be very exciting in th e last 15 or 20 mins of QP. Only pain is that its usually at about 3am on a sunday morning here, can be a bit of a chore to get up and watch it.

    I suspect all motorsport will seem low level after the Brit and Euro scene?
    It will be interesting to see where you slot in over here ? Gaz.

    You'd never go hungry with Nigella Gaz.
    If it weren't for flashbacks...I'd have no memory at all..

    Often think i may miss some of that side of things but its all available to watch on tv....

    I will miss British Superbike and the national racing scene paddock wise as even whats called club racing in the UK is massive with generally full paddocks with trucks/motorhomes everywhere. You would be hard pushed to see much difference between a BSB and WSB paddock these days and a club paddock at the main clubs is almost as glitzy.....

    Riding bikes is what i enjoy and the racing that goes with it so it doesn't matter where you are in the world so long as you have someone to race and a track to do it on its all good......

    Keep saying to the misses that i'm in it just for fun now but i and she know once out the track that will probably go out the window.....lol

    Only time will tell where i fit in here but i have watched the results of some of the NZ riders who have come to the UK to guage what the level is here.

    My last full season of racing was mainly with the NG Road Racing Club in 2005 and the paddock and community there is awesome with a good forum as well so now looking forward to getting a bike sorted and getting out and meeting NZ riders and being a regular here.
