My neglected Silver 900F

And an update on my Silver 900F. This was the bike that got me back into riding and it was the bike that led me to join this forum (way back when).

I have too much history with it to let it go to someone else, so it is making the journey with me back home to NZ.

We bought a property in Waihi Beach earlier this year (just before COVID). There's a lot to wind up here so we are targetting late March or early April 2021. Currently working through the logistics of shipping a car, bike, house contents etc. from here. It's a mission!

That's great news and nice to see another Kiwi making their way home. As I live in Auckland and not far from any arrival point, if I can be of any assistance please just ask as these are difficult times and having help at the other end may come in handy.

That decision got a little easier after speaking to a couple of customs brokers in NZ as we ended up deciding to take the T/A with us. There is plenty of room for a bike or two now that we are taking a 40FT container. Wish we could take the Camaro as well but NZ have gotten pretty strict on car modifications since I was there last (22 years ago) and the track day/autocross scene is different there than here.
