G'day,

Plenty of work in Auckland if you look.

Check www.trademe.co.nz for bike prices. Kind of like a NZ ebay.

Cheers

Except it's $hite and the bikes are more expensive.

You'll be pleased to hear you won't need insurance over here. I thought the working holiday scheme was up to 2 years these days? Make sure you set aside at least a month to see the south island.

With that attitude you will fall into any job that takes your fancy.
Please PM SkidMark, and give him the "learn" on work ethics.

[irish jamie]

Don't think you can do a track day in NZ with bike hire as well - don't think anywhere does it.

Think you might be able to in Oz. Phillip Island superbike school?

If you're around NZ in May '08, there's a good chance one of the guys on this forum will be running a trackday at Taupo (Frosty's trackday no.7). But you'll have to buy, beg, borrow or steal a bike.
