Well it’s coming into summer in New Zealand now and we’ve noticed a bit of an increase in inquiries through our website.Quite a few folk wanting to come out to NZ and take a decent look around this beautiful country of ours.
We have recently had a three week trip on two BMW F650s round both islands, covering just over 6,000kms each! Not bad really, especially as in the South there was some really heavy rain. (Six inches in one day in the Sounds!) But all went well and the two intrepid travellers, Fred and Frances from Kent in the UK, got back safely and seemed to enjoy their trip. Arrived back in the UK to minus 1 degree celcius and 3 inches of snow, and still snowing!! Now I know why I live here.. So our first trip done without a major hitch, we feel alot better now! Bikes having a major service, tryes, brakes, engine service and check over. Other bikes that are popular are the Honda Transalp, later BMW 650GS, vStrom 650 (but very hard to get a good one at a sensible price) and the KLR650.
We also have a few more people interested in coming out, so hopefully we’ll build up a nice database of trips round NZ and publish some photos of who did what and where. Watch this space.
