Riding in new Zealand

kiwigser said:

Hello, I am sort of a new member, but have not posted since moving to NZ and so changed my logon. Been here 2 years, got a 1150 gs and the wife has a 650 GS. I no longer have to commute by bike into Kensington and so can be a fair weather rider. We have done a few trips round north island and are now planning this Sping / summers/ autumn trips. Have a look at my wifes wiki www.arttel.co.nz and do not miss BoobsonBikes the parade down Queen street in Auckland.
As you can imagine riding here is terrible, empty roads full of bends and spectacular scenery, with still plenty of gravel roads if yoy really want to get into the bush.
Just to rub it in, Summer is coming, though winters here are very mild, but wet this year.
Please email if any of you are coming over for a trip or migrating.

Hi and welcome back,

Interesting site you have there!

We are in NZ for 5 weeks over Christmas for our first ever visit, what do you see as the "must do" activities and attractions?

regards

David

I really feel for you. It sounds terrible, but someone has to do it.

My mate toured New Zealand by car a couple of years ago and reckoned it would be one of the best biking countries in the world. I will make it there one day - possibly for the rugby World Cup.

My daughter and two girl friends arrived in NZ on Tuesday (or was it Wednesday). She is already making me want to go there. This thread is not helping.

What are they doing, an OE or just a holiday?

The best thing is she paid for it all herself.:thumb2[/QUOTE said:
