    Hello and welcome Ian. Planning a trip to NZ next year, if I can afford it. What's up with the bike mate?

    G'Day (as they say round 'ere). My fave places to ride too. Sunday morning at Devils was always a good place to stop for a bacon butty and a stretch.

    Hi All, Living in Temuka, South Canterbury for the last 11 years in a house I built myself. Lived in Keighley, Cottingley, Shipley.
    I miss the roads in the Dales and Derbyshire etc. but not the speed cameras...!
    Roads are quiet here but the speed limit is 100kms (63mph) +8kmph tolerance. :(
    Might have sorted the bike just - read the post on here about resetting the ECU. Tickover is now back to 1200 instead of the clutch destroying 2400!! :)

    Welcome along, when I work away (which I have quite a lot) I always miss Yorkshire, the people and the roads and scenery. I know you have great scenery there though so maybe not so bad for you :)
