How are you liking it over there? I remember you moved there a few years back now, right?

Looks like a good time!

Been in NZ for about a year and a half now. Home is where you make it - but I am enjoying the change of pace more than anything else. The weather is milder here (compared to central PA) and that means gettting out more and enjoying the outdoors - definitely fitter and healthier now. Nice too that I can ride my bike year round.

My TA is slowly progressing and I'm very, very happy with the quality of the work that's being done. I have been taking progress photos and will share them all in an update post as it gets closer to being completed. Really looking forward to getting it out on the roads here. No salted roads, so I will be able to use it year round.

Damn, it's been a year already? Time is flying.

That 69 bird with the red and black TA scheme is interesting.

I'll see if I can dig up a front photo - it had a hood tach too if I recall correctly.

I love the heavy duty trailer hitch on it - makes me wonder what it tows!

Yeah, at first I wasn't sure about it, but looking at it from another angle, it's definitely rad. I'd drive it!
