We all work hard during our working careers but somehow you have managed to retire at a YOUNG age. Perhaps lower costs of living in NZ ? If you could set up our accommodations for long term we could have our pension cheques redirected there and we would be forever grateful. Your words keep ringing in my ear, "beds and good food" until eternity.<br /><br />Just say the word and we will purchase our ONE way tickets to paradise.<br /><br />and remember, the first one up gets the Striple for the day<br /><br />luv, and hopefully see you soon<br /><br />bob<br /><a href="http://www.wetcoastscootin.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Wet Coast Scootin</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258612401956399482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341114511830074977.post-85510565443242933472010-08-12T10:06:07.715+12:002010-08-12T10:06:07.715+12:00Hi Steve, thanks for the kind words.
Being a long...Hi Steve, thanks for the kind words.<br /><br />Being a long, skinny country, we don't normally get extreme temperatures at either end of the scale so riding is pretty much a year round activity (errr... when our dearly beloveds aren't finding us other chores).<br /><br />Well, if you ever find yourself down this end of the world, there will always be a warm welcome waiting, together with comfortable beds and good food!<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />GeoffGeoff Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05041523109817248619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341114511830074977.post-88558756592905959152010-08-12T06:20:00.003+12:002010-08-12T06:20:00.003+12:00Spring is approaching?

That means fall is approaching here and finally some cooler weather to ride in.<br /><br />I just wanted to say your panorama image of Coramandel Harbour and outer islands is magnificent. New Zealand is one of those locations on my list should time and money ever allow. For now I shall remain content looking at your trips....<br /><br />Steve Williams<br /><a href="http://vespalx150.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Scooter in the Sticks</a>Steve Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04540977884513559091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341114511830074977.post-52390534957789883492010-08-11T16:07:53.748+12:002010-08-11T16:07:53.748+12:00If you ever make it over here Anthony, I have good...If you ever make it over here Anthony, I have good news! We have a scallop bed within 1 km of the house and I'll have a dredge for the boat this spring. Nothing like raw scallops straight out of the shell. Oh, and the beer fridge is full of Monteiths :-).<br /><br />Thanks and safe riding mate!Geoff Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05041523109817248619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341114511830074977.post-51818819561893898782010-08-11T15:22:59.636+12:002010-08-11T15:22:59.636+12:00Sounds like a great day out Geoff.

Next time you head to the Tavern for a scallop burger can you get a few extra ones and send them over here...(and a few cases of Montieth's !!)<br /><br />I love the Zen Riding state - when it happens its awesome! <br /><br />Always enjoy the scenic photos you post, well done, (and the Triumph always looks good in every shot!)<br /><br />cheers<br />AnthonyAnthonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07158034455791059826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341114511830074977.post-44671029783907247642010-08-11T14:51:37.347+12:002010-08-11T14:51:37.347+12:00Hi Bob,

We don't get snow in the upper north island although only 2 days ago, the main route north/south was closed for half a day in the central north island high country due to snow. Mind you, it is at close to 3000ft altitude.<br /><br />We use the term bends too, but as opposed to sweepers or shallow curves, "twisties" signify stretches of road comprised entirely of tight bends. Pretty much describes the Coromandel Peninsula!<br /><br />Stop complaining Mr Bob, you're a similar age to me! Retirement is but a signature at the bottom of a company form :-)Geoff Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05041523109817248619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341114511830074977.post-18534733965119036412010-08-11T14:42:29.969+12:002010-08-11T14:42:29.969+12:00Geoff:

I didn't see much snow in your recent photos so I suppose you don't get very cold there. I like how you use the term "bends" <em>(twisties)</em><br /><br />you are so lucky to be able to enjoy a scallop burger during a weekday while we have to work<br /><br />bob <br /><a href="%E2%80%9Dwww.wetcoastscootin.blogspot.com%E2%80%9D" rel="nofollow">bobskoot: wet coast scootin</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258612401956399482noreply@blogger.com
