I will be working at the airport so I'll be living in Auckland. I hear that there's a lot of Americans that have a hard time staying on the correct side of the road.

May end up costing a bit...

NO WE DON'T - SAME SIDE AS UK - LEFT, LEFT, LEFT!!!!!!!

Yes! I meant LEFT when I said correct. My only experience driving on the left was riding a scooter on the Cook Island. It was easy to remember when there was traffic but I would drift to the right on deserted roads. My ex wife would be yelling LEFT LEFT LEFT!!!

Yeah, but Quicksilver is coming from USA so his headlamp will be set to light the right hand edge of the road.

You need a container with a pallet for tie-downs. Sell all the furniture to make room for the bikes. Have you got your entry clearance, were a bit picky about Aussies coming over here. We've been trying to get rid of all our rubbish to QLD

Have you been sucked into the AirNZ engineering HMV contract with Hawaiian?

Plenty of riders at the airport. Parking is a breeze for staff. Commute time is subastantially less on a 'cickle

here, a 2001 bus can be picked up for about $11k - about US$7.5k.

if it looks like this one though, leave it in the USA

Yes you definately can.

Very good marty, yes that's what I'm coming for. I'm moving from from Hawaii. Haha it looks kinda like that not as much chrome not that long. I was going to build it to drag race here but they closed down the track so it's been slowly going back to stck. OK 4" longer, wheelies scare me.
