Hi
I am Lloyd (aka Luigi), i used to ride a 73' v7 sport, i sadly had to sell it.. the worst decision i ever had to make. After trying another make for a few years, i have returned to the fold and now ride an 1980 850 Le Mans mk2 which is red, goes wubada wubada and not suprisingly i am again happy. I've also just bought a 98 Cali EV.. havent ridden it yet but.. have big plans to tour europe on it in July / August.


I now live in Christchurch the biggest city in the south island of New Zealand (The Mainland). When i can, i get out into the southern alps which gave some excellent riding through the zig zags or through the hills adjacent to Christchurch both offer supreme riding. With only a million people in the south island (as big as england) it means the roads are all but empty out of the cities. Plus the scenery which is proof the omnipitant ruler of the universe is a motorcyclist - ( see movies like Lord of the rings - 10,000bc )

This picture should give you the gist of it....

Or this picture of the southern alps roads


If anyone is visiting NZ at any stage, i'd be more than happy to help out in any way i can.
