I know of several people that have done the RARO trip in the last year & no problems, Dunno where they got the conversions done though.

I was under the impression that you could ride on the raro licence without having to do a conversion on it for 12 months as it is a foreign licence. would pay to check though

When we tried we were told that we had to produce a written doc from cook islands verifying what we had done for our full lic which anyone who has been there knows it is a joke, and would not be accepted by nz standards anyway, we were also told that people from rarotonga would have to go thru the same process and start from scrath in nz. having said that apparnetly people are still being allowed to convert there licenses up auckland way so maybe the ltsa agents dont ring up to check and just do it, but the puke ones made a ph call and according to a change of rules not sposed to do it anymore.
