NZ Riding Buddies North/South Island!!

Kia Ora guys and gals,

Having lived in NZ for the last 3 years and having to leave because of family trouble back in the UK I am returning for a month holiday at the end of January. I am looking at hiring a DR650 or a F800 BMW. I was wondering if anyone down there was around and fancied going for a trip for a few days or even just a day ride while im there? Im going to be doing both islands as I havent been too far south in South island and want to check that out.
Let me know if anyone is keen be good to ride with some kiwi bikers!


Chur,


JJ

I'll be there in Jan too but have a family wedding to attend & will only be biking for 1 week in early Feb (near Queenstown). Drop me a line if you're in the area then
Also have a look on kiwibikers.com and Adventure Riding New Zealand on Facebook

Don't forget the anti mozzie stuff for the west coast on the south island!

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
