Greetings from a sunny and very warm NZ.
Well my initail 6 months are up soon.And i will not be coming back for at least 3 years, no cheering.
I have a work permit for 3 years so im staying , possible looking to stay longer if they will let me.
Making plans at the moment to ship the 916 here.
So ill miss Loomies, Box Hill ,the ride outs , Track Days and Chateau Doogle and the further land.
And of course all the people i have met through the ownership of a Duke.
So time to explore here when i get the bike over.
Bank holiday weekend this friday so im off for the weekend to watch Classic Bike racing, Kevin Schwantz is meant to be making an appearance on a 1962 Manx Norton.
Cheers safe riding (when the weather gets better)

Going to Paeroa for Battle of the streets on the 21st/22nd?

I will be there with some friends from Tauranga, if you spot the TT2001 "Cancelled" T-shirt in the crowd I will buy you a beer.

Nice to hear from you Roy. I know you'l stay there coz we loved the place when we went there 2 yrs ago.

Hope you can get some proper panels for your bike and ditch those dodgy £4.50 ones you have along with the nail polich npaint job.

Stay in touch and take care of yourself mate.

All the very best
