Entry: Motorcycle cruising in New Zealand - A755651
Author: Foxbat - U167989

Dear H2G2,

I believe New Zealand is the best country in the world for motorcycle cruising and would love it if H2G2 readers decide to come over after reading this for an experience of a lifetime !

Cheers !

I definitely have to go for a good long ride in NZ one day! But on a GN250?

Wow.

SixSevens had written an entry on riding in NZ which was pretty good, too. Did you read it?

D'OH ! Have not seen it before, but tried to and found your entry to SixSevens on it having been deleted

Hi Foxbat...

Bad pointed out your piece to me so here I am...

My piece is back at A734492 after I un-cancelled it...

It needs an overhaul and a huge trim

If you want to collaborate, let me know...

Hi Foxbat!

Nice entry.

Needs to be in the third person to be eligible for the Edited Guide.

Are you going to take up Six Seven's offer of collaboration?

I have just re-edited my piece. It's still at A734492 but it's now much shorter and focuses on Motorcycling in the South Island - with a few *national* topics re legal stuff etc

Foxbat, I see your personal space has been inactive for the last 3 weeks, are you still around? If so, let me know, otherwise I'll submit my piece as is.

Actually, I think the two could complement each other - I'll put a link to yours in mine now...

six7's

Aaaaaagggghhhh!

My entry breaks the house rules somehow.....

Hi six7's!



You should get an e-mail telling you why, then find your entry - go into 'more entries' one your space and it will come up. You can then amend and 'Bob's your uncle'. It might be just a broken link.

If foxbat has disappeared, when your entry is picked, the link to this one won't be possible, unless it's picked as is.

Hi there ZSF!

An email did arrive claiming it was supposedly a broken link, although the link was fine

Anyhow, it's all up and running now - although another edit [or two ] is definitely needed...

Hi Six7s,

Sorry about the delay, I was overseas for the last 3 weeks ... getting ball-and-chained and al that sort of thing, dont you know Anyway, I am back now and would love to collaborate with youy on the entry ! Please let me know if that is still possible !

Cheers,
Rajesh

Hi Foxbat!

Hope you enjoyed your trip

The collaboration idea might have to go on hold because just today, my piece got nabbed - see F88368?thread=194799

But if you want to do something on the North Island then we could link up... and then there's always *favourite / suggested rides* or similar... collaborated or solo

Keep in touch

six7's

Congratulations Foxbat! Good to see you made it back in one piece

Jolly good show .. and cheers, mate

Hey Foxbat,

Welcome back!

Just to let you know that this entry has been scouted for the Edited Guide, but before I can accept it, could you incorprate some of the feedback in this Converstaion in the entry (removal of first person etc)?

Let me know when we're ready to get this baby into the Edited Guide

Ashley

I'm leaving this excellent entry in PR for a little longer as some of the major points mentioned in the Conversation need incorprating before we can get this in the Edited Guide.

Cheers for now everyone

Ashley

Hi Ashley,

Thanks for that, I shall do that as soon as possible !

Cheers,
Rajesh

Hi Ashley,

Have changed it and added H2G2 references to Six7's article on the South Island as well. Hope this is more acceptable now

Cheers mate !

perhaps insert a footnote to explain 'AA' to some weird central European ignorants but otherwise good looking

Cheers mate ! have done so now !

Yes, it's looking good. Might it do with a reference to favourite spots, or are you thinking of collaborating with SixSevens on another 'Favourite Rides' entry?

Just one minor quibble. God's a He?

Never been to New Zealand. Like the sound of it, though! (Although it's years since I rode a bike)
