NEW ZEALAND, anyone been here before?

Hiya to all you speedie riders. Im new here and just saying hiya to all. Been reading on here for about a month now, for research into what bike to get, and info on the 2006 triple. Im happy i did, as this is by far the best forum site on the net for info on these bikes. Hope you like the pics of the black speedie. Im wanting to ride with other triumph owners in my country, Auckland, New Zealand. Get back to me "anyone". :-)

I paid $19,760 NZ dollars, about: $12,360 USD
which included on road costs and genuine grab rail. Done 1,850Kms, "about 1000miles" so far and simply the best bike ive been on. Starting to do wheelies, gulp, and also have skyking sliders on their way as we speak. Let ya know when i get them installed and have some new pics of the bike. :-)

How to put pics on these forum topics? Please help!

Very simple, first off you have to have the pictures located somewhere on the internet as you don't actually "upload" them to this server rather they are just entered as a link to their location online. A good example would be Photo Bucket http://www.photobucket.com/
Once you have the picture saved to a website you then open an edit box here, click on the black icon below shown as

and enter the address of the photo and click on OK..

Been to new zealand once, on my way to new caldonia to whoop some french a$$ in training. Lots of green and mountains from what I recall. Must be a blast to ride there.
Welcome to the rat pack. Enjoy all the intoxicated merryment and bench racing shenanigans....

G'day fella - I lived in Auckland until 10 yrs old, Mangere East. Since then it's been North Wales, Uk apart from the odd spell in Oz and the States. Just got to 900m on my new S3 myself.
Have fun!!!
