Hi, my name is Todd, I have about 10k miles under my belt in 3 years, I live in the US right Now, But my family and I are setting into motion moving plans to NZ. Alot of paperwork. I ride a FZR600 that is skined with a R6 upper fairing, head light, seat and tail, Dash, a YZF600 tank, and FZR side fairings. It is the one Vechicle we are planning on bringing with us. should be able to fit it in the Container. I have a bunch of pict's on it HERE. Still working on it. Have a good one. Cheers. Todd

We ride on the other side of the road so you'll have to swap your bars around

Thankyou for the welcome; it will be a long process to immigrate.

Just one thing to note when you get here mate... There are these things with have here that you may not be very familiar with in the US...

When you want to go somewhere that is not straight ahead, sometimes the roads bend and you have to turn the bike to stay on the road, otherwise there are hillsides, gullies, streams and other pokey things you could run into.

Sometimes the bends are quite sharp, which may require your bike to lean.

I'm sure you'll work it out...

So let me get this straight, you actually lean your bike to turn

How does that work?

Actually we have a bunch of twisties where I live, it is alot of fun.

although A nice 482km straight road is really fun to ride

. NOT!!!

**DarkLord** · 14th May 2009, 02:37

Out of curiosity - in the US, is the throttle and front brake on the right, and clutch on the left, same as here? or the other way round?

Welcome to our humble country too. I'm sure you'll enjoy the roads around here.
