Hi Harvey,

Hope you enjoyed your trip up north and the weather was good to you.

I havent got any recommendations for getting a bike to Aussie but one of the guys in the club (Wayne) did it last year and I dont know if he gets on the website but I have his email address and will ask him if he has any tips etc. and will post it here unless Wayne does it himself.

We have another friend touring NZ from Germany, Bernd Hausler who is currently in NZ and who has come on a few rides with us so if you come across a R1100GS with Touratech panniers and Bernd wears a red suit please introduce yourself, as he is a real nice guy. ( that also goes for any members throughout NZ)
I was telling him about the Wanganui street races on Boxing day too, and as he is booked on the ferry to the South Island on the 27th he may come to the races also.

We have a BMWOR ride on Sunday the 18th December leaving from BP autobahn on the northern motorway near Albany at 9.00am so if you are free hope to see you there, if not have a great Christmas and ride safe.

Jim
