    Yeah, I'm (sometimes) on ST-N too (ex-viffer). I've checked out VFRdiscussion as well.
    Be sure to check in here again before you come to NZ. I live in D'Auckland, as do many quite friendly KBers (and some rabid ones), so it'd be good to catch up if you have time when you're here.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    My screen name is troy_voorhees on those other sites. I'm not quite sure why I didn't go with that here? :unsure:

    Is there a 'bike night' in Aukland in the summer...or a good summertime motorcycle hangout? I'd like to swing by for a brew and to shoot the shit with fellow riders while I'm in town.

    Yup - I've seen you on ST-N.
    I dunno why I've got several different aliases on various forums either. :spudwhat:

    There are motorcycle clubs here that probably have regular meetings. But I dunno. Easy enough to organise one at shortish notice though.

    Hi VFReak - welcome to the site.

    Should you happen to be in the South Island 19/20 March, there's a big race meeting at Ruapuna (Christchurch) - the John Britten Memorial meeting - richest prize money in NZ. It'll be a good meeting.

    Also Pukekohe (near Auckland) is hosting a round of the National Points series on 5/6 March, it'll be a good meeting also.

    Being frustrated is disagreeable.

    But the real disasters in life begin when you get what you want.

    Thanks, that's some great info. I'd love to make it to the Britten Memorial meeting, but I think I depart on the 20th from AUK. The race near Auckland may be do-able, though, and I'd love to go spectate.

    Surgery??.Harden up, man. We've got riders here with no arms and one leg - they manage.
    NZ appeals.....hard to leave. Dunno, can't get off this site long enough to find out.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Hi Vreak, welcome to the site, once you've arrived in NZ you'll never want to go back to the states, I've been here for 6 months and I don't want to leave, this is the best country in the world!

    Enjoy the site and enjoy your trip out here in March, hopefully you'll have nice sunny weather - a-ha hah ha ha ha, sorry that's my twisted sense of humour acting up again. No seriously, hope you have some nice weather.

    I search the outside, search inside
