Yep, our youngest son came back for quality of life too.<br /><br />Yep, old bike for sale again, think it scared the young new owner. I have heaps of tech info onBlackbirds and how to set them up. If your made would like me to burn a disk, including maintenance manual, he's very welcome. Just send me an email.Geoff Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05041523109817248619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341114511830074977.post-82034268877710517542010-03-30T09:32:33.647+13:002010-03-30T09:32:33.647+13:00Hi Geoff.

We were based in Auckland when we left for the UK, but we're from the south so we're hoping to base ourselves down there, perhaps Dunedin, employment pending. This newly found addiction is certainly having an influence on that decision! Living in London makes you realise how important quality of life is.. I see your old bike is for sale, it sure is a beauty. Mate here has just bought a Blackbird and wishes he'd done it sooner. For now, a little CB500 will do me (whowhatwhere on KB).

Where will you be based when you come back? Don't suppose it will matter much as there's great riding everywhere!<br />Safe riding...Geoff Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05041523109817248619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341114511830074977.post-6917000128372868712010-03-26T07:34:32.123+13:002010-03-26T07:34:32.123+13:00Hi Geoff - love reading your blog.

You are living in some of the best motorcycling country I've ever seen. (Unfortunately we were on 4 wheels, not 2 during our visit.) So enjoy it and post so that we may continue to share the experience vicariously.Canajunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17529505799866207528noreply@blogger.com
