Dennis, I'm in PA. My wife is from this area. I would like to get back there this year for a visit but may not ($$). I usually get back there every two or three years for a visit. I first rode Hondas growing up in Hamilton (N.Is). My sister lives in Tauranga and a brother near Gisborne. He's a shepherd with 8,000 sheep (a real woolly headed bloke). Why Christchurch? Graham
