McJim and Chickadee going and coming

All the best with your move guys.
Tis all good, cos we are planning a trip down south sometime in the next five years.....will be needing accomodation with you of course!

Good for you guys.

All the very best on the move down and I hope it doesnt take too long for everybody to settle in.

Marlborough gets my vote and in particular a little place called Pelorus near Blenheim.

Invergiggle's the place - and I hear that they need a new mayor (the old one is past it's use-by-date).

The important question is.... are you going to be riding down there on the bikes or you packing them up for transportation!

I can always volunteer to ride one or the other down and just catch a flight back up or ... buy another RZ (working) down in SI and ride that back up!

All good, I'm sure the climate will feel more Scottish like and it seems you're going to where all Scotsman end up in NZ!

Good excuse to come down for a ride your way too!

Have you considered Tautapere? Sausages there are world famous in NZ!

Plan is to buy a 3 bike trailer and send all the furniture and stuff in a container to storage in South Island and then drive down in convoy with the bikes on the back (That way if we do a tikki tour we can always get a bit of riding in too!) kids are too young to sit pillion.

You've just answered a lot of the questions I had about hXc's behaviour - thanks.

**Trudes** · 2nd August 2007, 10:22

Best of luck to you guys, have fun won't you!

**Crisis management** · 2nd August 2007, 10:24

Good luck McJim & family, the souths a great place and I'm sure you'll love it!

Well you wouldn't sound out of place in Dunedin either and the horizontal rain and snow should make you feel right at home.

Yep - I got the same problem - coupled with the 24 hour rule. Guess I just like people too much eh?

Ah McJim, Chickadee!

Twas a pleasure to meet you both. Thanks for all the help with my bike, thanks for breaking my brake lever

, but most of all, thanks for taking the time to care!

You'll be missed on the Auckland rides! Who will be around to pull GiJoe out of the bush?

Make sure you let us know when your going. You'll be getting a KB escort out of Auckland.

Hi to you both.
September is a great time here on the Mainland, for years and years and years. Hope you find work and somewhere great to settle.
Don't worry about Scumdog, his bike is worse than his bite!
Cheers, hope to meet you on the road.
