Cheers BB,

Hi Scottie! (Well Im assuming you are a Scot anyway!)
Welcome to NZ. At least we are on the same rock. Im 30K out of Welly in Upper Hutt. ...... My wheels arrived with severe signs of erosion and the brake discs were rusty as Bobby Charlton at a charity footie match.
....... Had it from new in 99 and added aftermarket screen, hugger and that lovely little rear light clip......Its seen 45000miles so probably wont get much for it over here. (Cant sell it for two years anyway) But at least Ive used it, and not just taken it out for ten miles on a Sunday! ..it was far cheaper than buying another used one here. NZ is a glorious biking enviroment. The only downside appears to be the lack of what we would call B Roads. Ride safe. Richard.

hmm well i'm a kiwi, but was over that way for quite a few years. Had the bike for bout 18 months. Survived the shipping out easy, all i had to do was hook it up to a charger and it fired straight away, no rust or anything, but then again it was in the same container as all my furniture.

Great to here that your bike was well used, the general consensus by those woh own them is that they're very under-rated. Managed quite a few miles on mine to, mainly round scotland funnily enough, but I'm definitely not in your league.
Thanks for the offer of a place to stay to, that works both ways if you feel like a wee trip north
