As the title says, we are riding Route 6 in 2011 - in about 11 months actually, and just wondered if anyone on here has toured the States recently, or if any US locals are on KB? At this stage it looks like 1 rental car and 2 bikes with pillions. We are just wanting to know the easiest way...

Hey there everybody, Happy New Year!! I've been traveling around New Zealand since early december on my bike....just escaped Canada before the snow came. Northland was beautiful as is Coromandel, such great windy roads with stellar lookouts. It is such a rush riding on these roads...
Ok guys... i've finished my paperworks here in italy, and i'm planning to come down asap. My first idea was to remain the all three months permitted, trying to find at least a job enough not to starve. then i considered that prolly i'd have finished all the money well before, so i have to...
Hi All, I am heading back to N.Z after a decade+ overseas and am bringing the bike back with me. Wondering if there are many/any members up around the BOI/Kerikeri way. The site looks good and there seems to be a ton of info regarding taxes, popo's and the ACC price hike, it should keep me...
Looking to stay for 3 nights with the wife and baby, at a place with a kitchen... i.e. stove and refrigerator. Any advice on where or where not to stay? It doesn't have to be super fancy, it doesn't have to be in the centre of Auckland, but it could be. I would like something clean, somewhere...
We're off to the v8's next week in Townsville. Any other KB'ers going? If so, be great to meet up somewhere?
Hello all, my name is Mirco, I read your forum for a long time and now I write. From Italy. I know, you are going to enjoy the summer, but I'm falling in the winter and I must think to the future to survive. Moreover, New Zealand is by far the first option for my next summer holydays, but the...

Hey all.... again!, After 4 months back in Wellington, I have decided to accept employment that will take me back to Auckland. :scooter: The temp job I have is great financially but I am keen to pursue things I am passionate about rather than purely focusing on finances. I start with my new...
Hi, Picking up my first New Zealand bike tomorrow. A (hopefully) sweet Yammy fzr250 will be waiting for me in Otorohanga and after taking the train up from Wellington I'm hoping to make a little road trip of the journey down, or up or west or east. Haven't really got a plan of what to do next....
I am living in Wellington and was planning on riding to Christchurch in about 2 weeks time. I got told this wasn't such a great idea as the roads would be covered in snow. Now I know it will be cold but that doesn't matter me much.. snow does... My question now is, is going to the south island this...
Hello Everyone! First post here..woo hoo :Punk: Last week I bought my airfare over to NZ where I will hire a bike for 15 days and tour the south island. After that I will fly to Cairns and tour the gold coast on down to Sydney in a campervan. Enough about that part though I'm looking...

I live in California, and my boyfriend and I are visting NZ for 3 weeks in January. The main point of the trip is to see NZ by motorcycle - er, I mean motorbike(?). We're trying to decide how to get bikes down there, and as I see it, we have 4 options: 1) rent (hire?) bikes in NZ. 2) buy and...

Hi, people, I'm in Auckland for a couple of days work - staying near the airport - and I wonder if there are any social spots where I could go for a beer and a chat (cheap bar meals would be a bonus) this evening or tomorrow evening. Don't want to have to ride too far, but would be nice to have...
