    Another friggin new guy - Road Warrior

    Hello all
    Found this site stumbling around on the AVD site. Thats where another American pointed me towards this site, with his adventure ( the vet aka Pete). So if I turn out to be a pain in the ass member then...its his fault
    Non typical American looking to do a 2 week tour sometime June-Aug..If it turns out to be everything I think it is I will be moving me and my business. Lock the gate!!
    I have been doing a ton of research on TradeMe for real estate and then on to Google Earth Street view for the pictures. Funny thing about the Street View..a lot of the pictures show a cloudy sky..not sure why as my understating is hardly any rain down under

    Most of my bikes have been in the Kawi family..but the newest edition is from Honda..VTX1800 and a cruiser to boot So far so good I am liking the V twin thing!
    Here are a couple of pictures from around the house here in Western Colo.

    If you turn out to be a pain in the arse....some one will tell you.

    First post and your into self flagellation already...round here we tend to give others the first chance to put some one down...and theres plenty to do that, all in good humor...well mostly all.

    Nice pics, Could almost have been Kawarau forestry and National park in background.

    This is a good site and welcome have fun and theres plenty here to answer NZ questions.

    And SW NZ is one of the wettest places in the world...s why only a few live there
    And this is Aotearoa..land of the long white cloud

    Yes Welcome Gary.
    Some lovely pics you have there. As for these clouds you speak of? Whoever gave you your info lied. It rains here. A lot. Not consistantly..more like 4 seasons in one day kinda rain. The further south you go the more consistant the weather tends to be.
    Not that we mind so much. Gives us a chance to sit on KB and talk shit to each other.
    So Welcome.

    The high wages, cheap houses and endless cheap nuclear power. We regret to inform you that the communists were voted out just last year...but it's ok - there are a few on here working to correct that little hiccough.
    Oh...and the BDOTGNZA takes a dim view of the word 'ass' in reference to the but-tocks. The word is 'arse'.
    Welcome to our not-so-humble corner.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Welcome to KB.

    Some people are only alive because it is illegal to shoot them.
