    Hello from Yorkshire (Elleon2Wheels)

    Hi folks
    My daughter moved from the UK to Dunedin 4 yrs ago to study at Uni and doesn't want to come back In fact, she's fallen in love with both the country and a local guy

    In all seriousness, I don't blame her. I've had the opportunity to visit 3 x now and totally understand why she would want to live in Kiwi-land & her fiance is a lovely bloke too

    So why am I here?
    I've been riding bikes for 30 yrs at home and abroad but not have the chance to ride in NZ as yet - there's always been something else to do! My daughter has her 250 licence and her partner rides a Ducati so I'm determined on my next trip (Jan '14) to get them (or at least me) on a bike!

    Perhaps our paths with cross

    Hi Elle

    I'm ex-UK myself although like Unstuck, have now lived in NZ longer than the UK and hold NZ citizenship. Our eldest son completed his first degree at Otago in the late 90's and was in hall at Knox College. His time down there is still a very special part of his life.

    Enjoy riding in NZ, a great experience and maybe we'll see you on the road!

    Geoff
