Phreaky Phil has been studying up on this for a 2013 ride, and recently talked with some 'Naki rider back from there. Maybe he let you have some contacts?

You taking a bike over, or buying one there? Riding with buddies or by yourself?

Keen to get your experiences pre & post the ride, given this is something we are aiming to do as well.

Cheers, Steve

buying a bike over there and either flick it off in LA,or ship it home depending on costs.
will be travelling with a couple of other blokes,both have done a bit of global riding.
if i bring my bike back,whats the deal with costs once its landed here.

If you read the TAT thread thats already there most of your questions will be answered.

The Kiwi's that went last year went on a trip organised by Rossco Pennell, his blog site is here http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/New-Mexico/Socorro/blog-523881.html

I rode the TAT in 2003. I am also a very good friend of Sam, the guy that mapped the trail....

I'll help you all I can...

Dave Kuriger from Taranaki tells me he completed the TaT last year. Took his own bike, 800 BMW. He busted himself on the DB 1km so probably has a bit of spare time on his hands at present
