Hello from way Down under!

:biggrin: Greetings fellow Vifferites from around the world! i am very pleased to join the brotherhood and fellowship of VFR World.
i am a long time motorcyclist of some 28 years and have managed to survive this far, whilst riding, so must be doing something right?

in my time ive owned the Gen 1 & 2, Gen 5 (Twice) and currently the Gen 6.
Riding a VFR down here in New Zealand appears to be little differant from everywhere else, save for the change in scenary and temperatures where applicable.
For any members contemplating a trip to NZ to see some of the most beautiful scenery available and highly under utilised roads in the world i would be delighted to provide any details of the local conditions, places of interest, route info, basically what ever you neeed to know.
and yes it is possible to hire a VFR 800 here.

for all kiwi VFR world members (and our Aussie brothers too) feel free to say gidday!

Thanks for the invitation, welcome to the forum, and gidday! :biggrin:

 

Gidday Richard, or Dick here in Oz.

I have been over to your beautiful country a couple of times. The last time was Nov / Dec 2006. Did the Motorhome thing with the family and loved it.
I would love to ride the South Island on a VFR, in high Summer.
I looked into getting my bike shipped over but it's a bit pricey. I will possibly dream about it for many a year.

My neck of the woods is Central Queensland over the other side of the ditch and quite a bit further north. Inside the Great Barrier reef and near the Whitsunday islands, not a bad bit of the world to live either, if you don't mind the seasons as a bit cool, warm, very warm and holy f@%*in hell it's hot.

Anyways that's enough rambling.

 

cheers mate! good win for the cowboys tonite over the dragons (NRL). are you up townsville way or further north again?

your spot on on the south island- motorcycle nirvana. you should look into a short term hire on a gen 6 VFR from CHCH.

 

Yeah, go the cowboys. Titans won last night as well, only the Bronco's to play for a Queensland clean sweep this weekend.

I'm 400 kls south of Townsville at Mackay, much better here:smile: We are 1000kls north of Brisvagas.:biggrin:

 

Welcome! I've never been to New Zealand, but all the pictures are nice. Plus it is/was the home John Britten, RIP. Good to have you!
