Outskies, Leaving NZ !

[jade]

Hey Guys, well Im outskies for a bit, im 22 years old, finished my boatbuilding apprentiship and ready to go see the world,
I finished working at cookson boats on friday after just over 5 years there with the highlight being building the americas cup boats
The last 2 days have been spent tieing up my life here and putting my rs250 and a few bits and pieces into storage... On Sunday I fly to Sydney with my girlfriend, I have a job at a boatyard over there and we are staying in Sydney for at least 3 months..
Then come October, me and her are off to the motogp at phillip Island (she bought us tickets, I bought her an alpinestars jacket),
From melbourne, Im not sure where Ill go... Ill line up a job and go where I want.. somewhere in Europe,
Well see what the missus wants to do, shes from London so she might wanna go there and it would be a good base to get to Europe from
Personally though, I like the Idea of going to the melbourne GP then flying from there to Valencia... and seeing the Valencia gp 2 weeks later..
Guess Ill have to play it by ear, the point is - Im off and cant wait..
I wont get a bike in Sydney because I dont wanna be there long, but you can bet your bottom dollar I will have something good in Europe, and be doing every track day I can - Ultimately, I want to be making carbon parts for motogp and Ill do my best to get into it
I love my aprilia and all its carbon, shes tucked away in storage, still running like a gem and not a scratch on her, and when I get back one day, Ill buy a brand new bike and she will become my project, ridiculous amounts of money... maybe even a 500cc 2stroke conversion..
I love riding in NZ, 4 bikes- its all I do - rain or shine 365 - ive had a few spills but walked from 11 out of 12 lol, Have perfected off the throttle wheelies on my '250' and can do stoppies from any speed now, also quite fond of wheelies with the missus on the back.. so is she..
Ive just put up a gallery in my profile for the first time, some good pictures and a few of them I took an hour before putting my pride and joy into storage..
Whats real funny is the picture of a tat I got round xmas time - Its got my first aprilia .. some crutches and a saying.. all significant things
The punchline is that there is no K in tarmacK LOL - hell fucked haaha... Ill get that fixed soon but it got a few laughs.. have to send that into superbike sometime...
So Yea, next few years... Country to Country... Bike to Bike.. nothing else but 2 suitcases and a big toolbox, works for me ?
Im sure ill still be a regular here
ole !

As an after thought, I estimate it at about an even 10g's I paid to the NZ government in fines.. that includes 4 tickets at over 170 on a 250 ha !
Cant help but feel that money could have been better spent.. actually it was worth it - How many times did I get away with it ?
Will try get a couple movies I took yesterday of wheelies and stoppies up

Young hooligan's!!!!

Hey hope you have a great trip o/seas!

Was good to meet you in Albany the other week. Do try to behave yourself on the road over there, the HP are pretty tough on recalcitrant bikers! The roads are pretty dodgy as well in the rurals, to easy to come to grief against a hardwood tree!

Don't want to read a "Jade Down" thread...

Have the time of your life bud, I'm sure you will and good luck with the gp ambitions.

Do try and make the Valencia motogp, the fans are erm ..enthusiastic, you'll have a ball.

Given your riding record, I would reckon your girlfriend could do with a little more than an Alpinestars jacket to keep her safe. Maybe a wrap around airbag and a parachute?

P.S Aussie cops don't like show offs and have the power to detain "hooligans", so keep it sane as every main road has lots of cops...with guns and an attitude

Wherever you go, there you are. Have a blast and post lot's of pictures!
