    Welcome along Smoggie :spudwave: you've come to the right place for starters if you want to meet some great people who are into riding! Not sure of any other clubs myself buut someone generally organises a ride quite regularly through here.
    My goal in life is to be as good a person as my dog already thinks I am.

    Don't like your chances of anyone ringing you at 3 in the morning Smoggie.

    Good luck with your bike stuff - I'm sure the Welly boys will let you know a good place to go.

    The "On Road New Zealand" testing stations do a lot of import checks, when I did mine they were the cheapest too.

    I'm nearly a month late, but welcome along Smoggie. Riding in the North Island is great fun, especially up the west coast area and also Hawkes Bay north.....BUT for real adventure you have to come down to the Mainland....roads to die for (hopefully not literally) and nowhere near as many cars! Watch out for your fellow countrymen driving slowly in camper vans though!

    And for these guys.....
    It's a hard road boy.......so try not to land on it.

    Welcome!

    Look on the LTSA web site and/or call their free phone line they will let you know who in Wellington is qualified to get you on the road!

    Look forwards to seeing you!

    Bike news

    [FONT=Comic Sans MS][SIZE=3]
    Ello peeps,

    The Gods are not smiling on me. The bike is still in England, and will be lucky to arrive here by the end of April. The good news is that my house over there is sold this week, and along with buying a house up in Paraparaumu, am going to invest some cash in a Yam 750 Fazer from Masterton Motorcycles. Anyone heard any bad news about this shop, or are they ok?

    I just need a bike, and do not fancy commuting up and down Highway 1 in a car.

    See you all about soon,

    Smoggie
