Yes, feel free to get in touch, or drop in for a coffee if your going past. I live on Highway 1 about 50km north of Christchurch. Email or PM me and I'll send you my cellphone number.
Some idea of the kind of riding/scenery/experiences you are looking for would help with any recommendations.
Cheers
Nigel in Amberley

NEW ZEALAND MOTORCYCLE ADVENTURES - Home
Best place to get your motorcycle MOT or WOF safety check is at the VTNZ testing station at 3 Manu Tapu Drive , ( Corner of Tahinga lane , Mangere , South Auckland 2022 , phone 09 257 2180
Its just a couple of kilometers or less from Auckland airport and they are very use to international motorcycles coming in. They know how to do the paper work.
Heard to many unpublished stories of people taking their bikes to other places and other places not understanding how to do the paperwork and then needing to ride back to Auckland Airport VTNZ.

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.
