megawatt Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 Finally getting my 4 bedroomed house ready for sale and selling all of my bikes and possessions. The reason being, I'm going to Australia and New Zealand. Spending July and August with my eldest daughter in Australia and then flying to New Zealand for a few months. Hoping that they may let me stay in NZ, but looking unlikely as I'm an old fart and don't have a huge amount of money. I may start a bike related business if they let me though. Would be nice to meet as many of you as possible before I leave Heathrow on June 28th. Quote

megawatt Posted February 17, 2015 Author Posted February 17, 2015 Thanks guys n gals. Not sure they'll let me stay , but will try my best to make it possible in NZ or southern Australia. You'll all be very welcome to pop over for the weekend though! Quote
RantMachine Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 All the best for the future mate! Can't believe it's all happening, seems like only yesterday you were talking about it in the car on the way back from Birmingham. Hope to get the chance to catch you one last time at the start of season meet. Quote
megawatt Posted February 18, 2015 Author Posted February 18, 2015 Thanks Ollie. great meeting you and your lovely lady at the NEC get together with Bob and Mandy.I have got this to look forward to as I can't do the big meet. Just hope the house sale is going smoothly while I attend the meet. Quote
Mr Fro Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Exciting stuff! I hope everything goes well and you enjoy the time with your family.Oh, and PM me if you need a tea boy in your new venture. Quote
Joeman Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Life changing stuff!!Well done for taking the plunge and following your dreams. Not many would have the balls to do what you're doing.Will have to sneak in a couple of rideouts before you leave. Quote
Fozzie Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 You'll end up in Invercargill as a modern day Burt Munro, make sure you go and view his Indian while you're over there!Enjoy the trip, I wanted to take the opportunity to go to Western Australia for work. Idea is you work for 2 years, make a mint, then go travelling in an effort to spend half of it and make up for lost social time It's a huge place, took me nearly a month of travelling to get around the Eastern side only.If you end up near Adelaide, try to catch the Ghan train, and try your best not to sleep or at least wake up in the night to see the stars. Entire nebulas, and usually unseen constellations become visible due to the lack of light pollution. Quote
Grumpy Old Git Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Good luck Alan - I wish you well in your new adventure. But....Who the h@ll is going to wear that nurse's outfit now? I'll miss the laughs, the beer, more beer, more laughs and the beer. Quote
RantMachine Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 But....Who the h@ll is going to wear that nurse's outfit now? Shotgun! Quote
megawatt Posted February 18, 2015 Author Posted February 18, 2015 Thanks for all the lovely comments peeps. I'm hoping to see as many of you as possible before I leave and once I get settled. Quote
