Hi I'm Dave from Nelson, New Zealand.

This is my first time using an internet forum, so I'm kinda new to all this.
Have recently bought a '73 Interstate Commando which I've had for 12 months.

Previously owned British bikes back in the 70's. It's like starting all over again.

Here is a photo of my current bike:

Welcome aboard Dave, thats a very tidy bike and just perfect for those great twisty roads down your way.
If you are a club type guy and haven't already done so check out the nz owners club at nocnz.org.nz
