Graham, I think it is going to be permanent. I'm waffling a bit because my wife has filed for divorce and it isn't 100% sure if she's going to complete the action or drop it. If she drops it and we reach some accommodation, I may be going back and forth. But, at the moment, it is looking pretty permanent. I looked for 700SCs in NZ and found nothing. Since they were only made for the U.S. at the 699cc size, I doubt that there would be many, if any there. Both mine are pretty clean so it seems like shipping them would be good. When I get tired of one or both of them, I should be able to sell them since they would be clean, rare and fairly unique there. It'll be $1200 to $1500 to ship it, I think, based on last time. Cheers!

My sister in Tauranga needs help with her house and I haven't seen my step mother in years and ... So, are you planning moving permanently? I imagine shipping your 700S would be cheaper than buying another one there although I can also imagine you'd soon find another one there. I would. See you there!

If you come to Chch, I've got a spare room and you've got an open invitation to come and stay. If I decide to ship my second 700SC down there, I'll have two there and that'll mean, if you come by, we can go for a ride together. That'll be fun, eh?

And I had noted your preference for Avons. I found it in my stored 'motorcycle fix it help' messages. I'll look them up. I need a set of tires for a 650 and a 700 NH. Thanks dennis, Graham ps, when are you moving to Christchurch? I saw something back there that indicated it was soon. That will give me a good reason to visit the S.I. and not just home in the north.

Most folks keep their registration documents in them.

They seemed fine for me. They didn't wander or follow grooves too badly and did decent in rain, cold weather, and hot weather. I didn't try racing them or diving into turns though. -Kyle On Sat, Aug 15, 2009 at 9:02 PM, Tree Doc <[email protected]> wrote: Quote: "I have Shinko's (what used to be Cheng Shin).
