Ain't she beautiful?

[Kiwi Rider]

Just looking at some pics of NZ in all it's splendor and natural beauty . . .
thought this may be popular among oRg nature lovers.
NZ's borders are closed for at least 12 months, so I get to enjoy my country in relative peace and low traffic volumes!
Enjoy . . . . .

Very nice....12 months?? That's quite a while to be closed up.....

I would love to live in a place like that. I’ll bet however most my guns are not allowed there.

Yeah, we are not taking visitors for some time... 12 months is an estimate really, may be more.. there’s talk of only having Australians allowed to enter NZ and vice versa.
NZ is leading the way in flattening the graph with this darned virus. We are making headway and things are looking better.
Queen Jacinda announced yesterday that we will be going back to LEVEL 3 which means we will be able to travel within our regions (my region is Canterbury) and some services will restart again, including my trade, so looks like I may be back at work in a week or two!
Other than that, we will still have restrictions for a fair while, no sports activities, no pubs, bars, restaurants opened BUT, MacDonalds and BK etc will have drive thru open!
Interesting times ahead . . .

After the ChCh Mosque murders, even the locals are lucky to have hunting fire arms, let alone some visitor from gun lovin' America!
But . . . . we are allowed to have Busas . . well at the moment anyway lol.

If I would have found a BKing before I got my Busa, I would have bought one instead...

At the time, there was just none to be found for sale.

@Cantab . . . very nice pics, and I've also been to every spot you showed us in those images, beautiful, and we know how blessed we are living here in NZ.
Still can't understand why you switched bikes . . that Busa is gorgeous!
(actually I do understand re the comfort or discomfort you were in)

Our government is going to hand cuff our citizens who own hand guns and eliminate any assault style weapons..

A little light reading on the subject for anyone who cares...

Trudeau is talking about more gun control — but he hasn't enacted the last round of firearms changes
