UK biker on tour in October 2018
Hey people, it's been ten years since I visited and participated in the meetings and ride-out events around ChCh with Transalper and Oldrider (iirc) plus a load of guys on the adventure ride turned trail where Transalper ended up sinking sideways in a strong current. But, I remember it all fondly and vividly and I often talk about it still. New Zealand transformed my life in many ways.
I have inspired a friend and his wife to go to NZ and sample the roads and the two wheeled brotherhood (and sisterhood) of your amazing country.
I recommended him to sign up here. His name is Rob. Lookout for his StoneAlive screen name.
I'm after some latest info for him on how to spend two months riding the south island please. Are there any affordable bike hire places these days?
Is Trade Me still the best way to find a private seller?
Are any of you into selling and buying back (pre agreed rates, to make you a modest profit)?
Are any of you selling a decent used machine suitable for the back roads, two-up?
I think he's going to your the north island in a camper, and then do the south on a bike.
That's it. Any info gratefully received.
I live in Ireland now, on the West Coast, Galway. If any of you are ever in the area, come and stay!
...ask what makes you come alive, because what the world needs is people who have come alive...
