    Greetings and salutations

    Greetings peeps. Arrived from the UK last month, after being over here on holiday 2 years ago. Afraid Britain is not so great anymore.

    Working out In Porirua, distinct shortage of Nurses over here, and things are going smoothly.

    Main bike is a 2002 Honda ST1100 (Pan European). Is currently on a ship somewhere, and is meant to be arriving on Christmas Day, whether or not that materialises is a different matter! After years of touring round Europe, it is time to discover NZ, and tend to cover everywhere. Never been a racer, but love attending road race meets.

    Once I get a house, intend to get my project bike. With no baggage along with me, can spend as much time as I like tinkering with a spanner and socket set!

    Would appreciate any info on clubs/meets in the Wellington area, and look forward to a new life over here.

    Smoggie

    Welcome smoggie!

    Do you miss your psychey lead (assuming you are in mental health of course)?

    Great to have you here, and I hope the place doesn't get too boring for you.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Good place to base yourself for exploring the country - halfway between the top and the bottom, well done.
    Welcome to NZ, happy riding.
