My wife and I are taking three weeks to do a clockwise lap of the south island starting in early Jan. If you spot a GSXR1100 two-up, the rider with a red helmet, and the pillion with a black helmet with red patterning, then please say hi.

Six of us are doing a lap or three of the Sth Isl but are leaving Dec 20th and finishing Jan 3/4th, so wont coincide with you

You would be more than welcome to stay with us for a few days during your stay if you get to the North Island. There is a post of mine called 'anyone coming our way?' that gives more information. It used to be a sticky so was the first post in this section, but for some reason it isn't any more.

We've hosted four or five German couples and really enjoyed their company, so we'd love to have you stay.

See you at the rally, Warren!

We've just hosted Juergen and Heike for the night and have to say they are a lovely couple. If you get the chance to catch up with them while they are in NZ, do so.

They are heading to the South Island now, then back to the North Island next month when we hope they will stay with us again on the way through.
