Here's a thought !

Suddenly found myself surrounded by ilk minded ppl and we just happen to have room for a tourist/couple/group to stretch out (ok the ppl were always around, but the room was not) !

Might be the start of a hospitality rollercoaster, but the thought of starting/(restart?) a thread offering a ride from hell, with a bed at the end of each day has been niggling !

I know that if someone were to ride off the picton ferry, or fly into wellington/palmerston North (bike organised), I and/or a few mates/KBers? could keep him/her/them ocupied for a couple of days riding around some of the best kept secrets in the lower north island !
Time it right and we could include a test/track day at Manfeild to the mix ?
Add The ADV guys to it and ya got worn out tourists !

Lets keep it simple ! I just claimed Wellington-WHanganui-Dannervirke (a little greedy i know but thats me) (and negotiable) Thought about regions but that's just stupid because the best roads calve em up (and i hate Wellington City).

But with that, i can offer He/She who dares, two or three exhausting days of riding (throw an ADV rider in there and... (i'll go have a rest) (till the track day), A bed for those nights and an escort to the next adventure. Be it west or east !


Sooooo, know your way around your area ? Can plan a route for friends/others (if you can't lead) to show folk around ? Provide a bed/grub for a night or two ?


Happy to go through this thread (if it grows) and maybe map things out roughly (remap regions perhaps lol), Add contacts for each area ?

Keep in mind it's about the ride lol Wear yourself out and your Guest is gonna be blown away !

We could call it NZ wide pass the baggage ! Or just pass the Hag !

To KISS it
MAP KEYS

B&B = Bed and breakfast, or a stove for ya to cook ya own fuckin eggs
B = Just a root, or if yr a fugly, a blanket on the garage floor
M = Map a ride out for ya but might not be able to join, cause the cops have my licence
M&R = Hell, like i'd let ya ride without me
G = Gravel, or a wickedly cool Moari fella

Jesssus, another bloody Irishman in the mix, that'll be humourous !

Let me know when your heading down/up these parts Suzi and we'll sort sommit out ! Threads a bit quiet but i'm sure someone from Auckland will want a cuddle, talk politics etc, to try and understand why the Irish rolled over !

As for the room service, lol We ate the fuckin cow, but i know where there's plenty of seafood, (might even have a wetsuit that'll fit ya), that way there'll be no bowl blockages at 7.30 in the mornin when ya start thinkin about finding somewhere to put ya head down !

I can't offer B&B but I do know my way round the Far North & am always happy to point riders in the right direction depending on their tastes.

Add me to the list if I fit the criteria.

Oooh, I know some great fishing spots too.

You'd be happy to claim an area then Mark ? Find a few others who'd be keen to show tourists around if/when your busy etc ?

You guys too far from Auck airport to organise pick ups, welcome commitee ?

Why thank you.

I intend doing quite a few gravel miles between now & dotage, the tarmac up here is simple but their are a myriad of gravel roads to be explored.
(And if I buy that dirt bike, green roads)

With keys so them who read it can at a glance go choice ! That fella Formby Does gravel and Mom does some wicked eggs !
As for that prick from Otaki, well he'll just leave me on some godforsaken road with a hangover and go home to drink more piss !

Ya what!? :laugh:

Yeah we are starters for sure, we are about an hour away from Auckland airport, but it is a shit trip through the shitty city twice. Could be convinced though if times suit the work/life balance. Guests may be better off catching the shuttle direct to our door, or to my work in Albany, and having a jet lag recovery couple of days. I accept payment in wine :yes:

One Russian and one Mexican, the Russian has a better grasp of the spoken Englase but i still had to say what ! And they both was lookin at me like stunned mullets when i talked about earning a coin while backpackin round NZ

What got me was when i mentioned Cartells (sp) the Mex spilled about life in Mehico, comes down to 3 Cartells and the yanks ! Liked this one (gave him my cell)
Russia i understand is better now, no mafia anymore (must all be in the states)

Just happen to have an overseas guest staying, who happened apon this thread and pm'd me a month or so back !

Unfortunate part is I HAVE NO FUGGIN LICENCE, for 6 more weeks.
SO he has a base (ours)

What i'm asking is, if you happen to be floating and feel like a ride, Please, Please get in touch !

There is only so much of my company he's gonna be able to handle and he wants to see the country, not get to know every square inch of our bit of dirt !!!

So far i know :
A/ He's riding up with a few of the boys to W(h)anganui for the racing boxing day !
B/ There's a few of us gathering Friday night, so if he don't get a better offer before or then, he'll be there saturday morning !

C/ I'll be doing xmas day there as i'm a grinch, so again, if he don't get a better offer before then the below will be a learn for him !!

Onya Carla, so if i sent him over the Akas and then the Rimas, you could take over and drag him round some good roads (be gentle, he's only on a 500) Hmmmmm, your an expert on the wine trails too huh ? lol think he might like wine haha (or was it trails) ! Then point him in the direction of Pahiatua (showed him the track on the map today)

On another note any city dwellers wanna hook up and show him round Te Papa and perhaps the south coast !!

Third note is trail rides ??? (who has em, willing to share, rides happening ?)He's a MX type fella who originally wanted a dual purpose, but settled for the kwaka 5spot so to get moving !!!
Yeah i know pushin it but hey don't ask don't get huh !!!

Bwahahaha fed him raw muscle (singular) today (then did a doz garlic muscles on the BBQ)
