    got more detail?

    how long does it take to get to / from, how do we get to / from, what does it cost to get to / from

    is riding here legal? how many people are invited? is there cops on this island?

    is there a medical provider on the island?

    edit:

    just answered some of my own questions:

    there is one cop, who also serves as most other government jobs as well
    there is a hospital with a resident doctor
    you can get there by plane or boat, plane takes a couple of hours~ from auckland welly or chch, or you can go by boat from napier or timaru. this takes about 4 days.

    so how do we get bikes there?

    fly out from napier bikes would go via conroys to get the bikes across the cost is 25.00ea riding dirt bikes there is legal we just need to respect the locals on the beach if we go down via beach all natural open rolling hills etc
    we will be staying at the pub as a friend of mine owns the pub so free staying just pay for our meals and drinks.
    i will be taking 100 litres of fuel and 50 litres of oil and spare parts should be a good ride soon as we get say 4/5 or more people i can organise the flight threw a mate who will take us on his nz post plane

    I'm very interested in getting the details sent to me of specifics.
    Sounds like a wicked idea. Are you serious about the cost of getting the bikes there and back?

    Sounds like a wicked idea to cruise around and explore the place.

    Count me as extremely interested.

    I google earthed the Chats. About 50k x 50k of land. Don't know what the restrictions are though. Some of the terrain looked decidedly knarly.

    Not really a bad thing is it?

    hi guys just pm me and i will send you the details monday nite no restrictions just have to respect the locals on the beach side if we go there otherwise we ride hard and fast
    no cost for us to go over in the plane my mate is the post guy hehe
    and for the bikes to go over its 25.00each would be 3 days of pure fun and drinking,riding and free accomadation just have to pay for our meals and drinks but im sure we can take our own drinks etc this is a random idea i had a few weeks ago lol
    and have a mate who does video making so hes going to record our trip and then edit it and give us copys plus i will have my helmet cam
