    Welcome

    Hope you like it on here, most peeps are pretty good sort.

    Where are you living in Chch as I would be realy interested to know what you think of it down there as I am a Brit that may be heading that way soonish.
    We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
    Running over the same old ground.
    What have you found? The same old fears.
    Wish you were here. QWQ

    Welcome AndyR and the South Island proves that god does indeed ride a motorcycle.If you want a decent full days ride to test out the brick ride over Arthur's Pass to the Wet Coast ,up THE COAST ROAD (biker heaven) and back across The Lewis Pass.Absolute magic (as long as it's not snowing)
    Never too old to Rock n Roll.

    I've got miserly tourettes and I don't give a fuck.
