German couple looking for contact to Kiwi-Bikers

**Panny** · 11th December 2011, 06:07

Hi Kiwi-Bikers,

we are a German couple riding around the world on two Honda Transalps (XL700VA).
We started our journey in may 2010 in Canada, rode across the country and up to Alaska and down to the southern tip of south america.
Right now we are in Patagonia and do research for shipping/flying our motorcycles and us to NZ by end of January or beginning of February.
We plan to travel through NZ for two or three month before we jump to AUS.

Instead of rushing through we would like to meet people who share our passion for motorcycles / travelling with motorcycles, because that´s the most interesting thing for us about travelling!

If you are interested to meet us and share motorcycle/travel-tales, we would be happy!

We are used to a simple live and don´t expect anything! Just a simple spot for our tent would be great!

Beside personal contacts we are also interested in any kind of motorcycle events except "normal" races. MC meetings, motorcycle traveller`s gatherings, crazy kinds of competitions like hillclimbing, mono-wheel or what ever you have over there. Or just a barbecue with some friends...

It might take some time until I am able to reply to posts or msg, since we don´t have internet acess too often down here in south america.

Greetings

Panny & Simone

We are in New Plymouth on the North Island west coast. Home to Mt Taranaki, the surf highway and some fantastic back country roads.

More than happy to help, no need for tent space we have a room that you can use.

(re the post above, Wanganui is 160km south of New Plymouth, 1 hr 45 ride non stop)

Hi guys!

I have just returned from six months touring the western US on motorcycles. My wife rode the other one.

Would love to catch up with you in New Zealand and do some riding together.

Dunedin here also - und ich kann auch ein bischen Deutsch sprachen. So wenn sie haben kein lust englisch zu sprachen, konnen wir uns auf deutsch unterhalten.
Would be cool to go for a ride, what sort of bikes are you travelling with?
There may be some cool events while you are here. But you missed the best one. The 'Burt Monroe Challenge' which had hill climbs and beach races etc.
You could come watch us sidecar racing

but I guess thats sort of 'normal' racing.. sort of

Hi Quasievil,

thanks for the invitation.

Those German stayed with you A FEW WEEKS? Wow! What´s their name. I wouldn´t be surprised, if I know them.

cheers

Honda Transalp (XL700VA) - the "new" ones with injection, which worked GREAT in the Andes, where you sometimes make 4000 meters of altitude in 2 hours!

At home I rode a BMW Rockster (mattblack) and Simone had a Triumph Bonneville.
Have a look at our bikes and on my bike-history:

The google-translation is crap. Sorry. But it should be good enough to navigate through our homepage
You have to click on "Simons motorcycles" or "Pannys motorcycles" in the menu on the left to get our other/former bikes.

cheers
