New Job @ Suzuki BMW Motorcycle Dealership!!

[Kiwi Rider]

On another note for Greg the KIWI man ~ my sister her husband & two boys are boarding Princes Tuesday on Auckland *

Is that a cruise ship?
They'll be having a ball, it's just warming up nicely down here at the mo', but Auckland, meh, hate the place . . . full of foreigners and not the city I knew when my mum took me there for holidays in the '60's.
If ya wanna see the REAL New Zealand, come down to the South Island, we have loads of dairy cows and ferocious earthquakes, very exciting place to live.

That's great Red , that your family are visiting the 'Great Southern Lands' , 'Australia and New Zealand' . I hope they have the best time , and get around to see a bit of the country and just enjoy themselves .
I hear when you get on those cruise ships , you can eat and drink to your hearts desire , a mate of mine packed on 5kg+ from 7 day cruise , and had a real good time .
Now Red , when are you planing on making the trip over the drink , to grace our shores with your esteem presence bro !!
PS. We both got talent in our families bro , really positively motivated , unlike myself in those formative years .... I fixated a little too long on the 'sex , drugs , & rock 'n' roll ' ....

Put on 8 pounds the first time we tried a cruise Andrew ~ my wife has just under two years before she retires *

Then you can bank on us visiting down under *

Lots of beef and dairy farms here too

Well, I'm into the big stuff now lmao!!

The service advisor/workshop controller ( the guy that resembles Danny DeVito on 'Taxi' ) came to me at 11.30am on Christmas Eve and said,
'Here's a brand new genuine clutch for that little Pee Wee 50 Yamaha out there, just replace it, the guy's coming to pick it up at 2.00pm, oh and it's a Christmas present for his young son'
Yeah . . . right . . . . Noooooo pressure AT ALL!!
So I stripped off the clutch cover and the primary drive gear on the crankshaft was also smashed, so looks like Danny DeVito has some explaining to do lol!

Hey Kiwi, Merry Christmas and glad to hear about new job. I know it’s been a few months since you started but, hope all is well on the other side of the pond

Thanks Buddy, Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones too!
It's all going really well, took a little time to settle in and get to know everyone and where everything is, but it's all falling into place nicely now.
I've finally found what I was looking for after 45 years of working at places that I never felt part of.
Working in car shops is a drag because the guys that work there are 'car guys' and have no clue about the bike culture that we love and live for. So there is usually a bit of friction so to speak.
What's your chosen vocation then?

Those little PWs take a lot of abuse...we had two for our lads and they stood up well. That one was especially flogged...

I’m a plumber by trade. Live and work locally here in Florida. Been working with a really good company for the past 5 yrs. Pay is good and plenty of work going on. U know, it’s funny how you mentioned the “car guys vs bikers” friction. They just don’t understand unless they ride also. My point is: it’s the same all over the world
