Hello from the US!
Greetings from the US-of-A,
I stumbled upon this site while checking out the motorcycling scene in New Zealand.
About me - I've been a streetbike rider for about 7 years now and grew up riding small dirtbikes. I have lived in numerous places throughout the US and have also lived in Germany. I took full advantage of that and have ridden everywhere I can manage to get time to go to. I currently have a 2002 VFR and a 1998 VTR1000F Superhawk (errr, I guess you call it Firestorm, huh? ). The VFR gets ridden about 12,000 miles per year and I put a 3-4,000 on the Superhawk per year, too - about half of that at various tracks around the southern and eastern US.
I've attached a picture of my VFR, sans hardbags, and my highly-moded Superhawk in street trim. There should also be a pic of me riding the S'Hawk in track trim at Jennings Grand Prix in Florida last year.
I've been dating a wonderful Kiwi gal (who temporarily lives here in the US) the last 5 months and I think she's the one. We will be taking a 3-week holiday to New Zealand in March to see her family and for her to show me around her wonderful country. In preparing for the visit, of course, I wanted to check out the biking culture and the kinds of riding you all have at your disposal. From what I've seen, I'm dying to get down there and rent a bike!
I'll probably be lurking mostly, but I wanted to come in, introduce myself, and say "Kia Ora!"
Cheers,
Troy

Hi mate. Welcome to the site. Keep everyone posted on when you will be over here - there will be plenty of people to go riding with. Just be aware that when you do come to New Zealand, you won't want to leave!!!
