Hi out there  :-),being on our world tour with our BMWs f 650 gs, we have just arrived in New Zealand still waiting for our motorcycles but they will arrive next Tuesday (I hope). We want to explore NZ for the next 3 month and are happy about every tip for the north and south island.Holger

Kia Ora Holger, and congratulations on choosing one of the most beautiful countries in the world to ride you 650GS.I live in Christchurch, and have a very good German friend who lives in Christchurch too. We are both bike nuts, but of the road variety. This forum has a lot of off roaders who will be able to assist your travels here more than I, but if you need a bed for a night or two in Christchurch, let me know.Enjoy your stay, and log in frequently, this forum appears to be a friendly lot.CheersPeter Daly

Hi Anja and Holger.I live in Christchurch, however my partner Zoe lives in Whangarei, it is a long distance relationship, actually we have property in Whangarei and intend to retire there so Zoe is in Whangarei a little earlier than anticipated. Repairing a house after tennats destroyed the place.I will call Zoe tonight and inform the gorgeous girl that you may call her, the house in Whangarei is only small but plenty of section and room for a tent etc. I know that if a room is spare you would be welcome. Zoe knows the North like the back of her hand and would love to meet with you. Keep an eye on this forum as I will post a note with Zoe's reaction to my invitation, my email is leighp@clear.net.nz or 027 2203112Zoe does not have a motorbike but loves getting out with me and we have just completed the Magpie Madness Rally in Timaru (South Island) together.When in Christchurch feel free to make contact, will have a bed and lockable garage plus workshop for you if required. In City.Looks like you will be forced to choose in Christchurch, I'm sure Peter (see Post) would agree we are a freindly bunch in the south Island.Enjoy the winterless north it is a beautifull part of New Zealand. Zoe's cell phone is 027 3211169.Cheers.Leigh.

Between 4:30 and 5:00pm toady, I saw the two heavily-laden 650Dakars heading north through Orewa.  Looks like they were rigged for a big adventure!Dave

Update –Anja and Holger left sunny Hawkes Bay on Sunday after staying with us and being part of our family for a few days, to head South to Wellington and then onto the South Island.What can I say!!They are a really nice couple, and have some amazing stories to tell.They both speak perfect English, and are so happy.It was sad to see them go, but they have the whole world to travel and so many adventures to have, so we couldn’t keep them here for any longerIf you see them on the road, give them a wave, or stop and talk to them.They are in Wellington tonight and are heading over the Strait tomorowRegards Scott

Do you know for how long they intend to stay on the South Island? Have you told them about the Annual Rally in Alexandra? We hope to meet  up with them at some stage, unfortunately it did not work out in Auckland at the time.

We might see you down South. If you can fit it into your itinerary you should turn up at the Annual Rally in Alexandra. We have now over 80 attendees confirmed. I am looking forward to meeting you two.Alex
