Hello from Blenheim NZ
 

Hello
My names Mc I live in Sunny Blenheim in New Zealand.
Originally from Bournemouth in the UK , came over for holiday and havnt left yet.

Currently have my sportster to cruise and enjoy this country wich is awesome However New Zealand s so open and accessible with a 4x4 or bike :)
So I bought 4x4 ute which is awesome. Coming from low VW's to going nearly anywhere has be liberating.
Still there's more out there so getting a bike is the next toy to enjoy my new home.
I will be picking up my 2004 XT660R 19th of this month Get it in the north island and ride home to the south island.
These are the only pics I have.
