Thanks for coming to our little slice of paradise, where every road is an adventure and every corner opens to another stunning vista. I've travelled the South Island 6 times now and try to make an annual trip now. You have produced an excellent series showcasing the best of NZ... the twisties, the pies, the people and the scenery. Come back soon.
Great trip...well done... The two islands are geologically very different...and there's some great riding to be had in the north island.. Northland, Coromandel, East Cape, Taihape to Napier, Central Plateau, coastal SH3,
Great work guys, glad you loved the home country. So many Aussies don’t realise what adventure and amazing breath taking scenery ( and awesome pies) are on their doorstep just a hop over the ditch.
Glad you enjoyed it. When you come back you need to do the best road in country and that's the famous coast road. It's in between Greymouth and Westport and it is like nothing you guys went through. Thanks again, loved watching
Thank you for the awesome ride along with you guys,hope ya back across the ditch sometime in the future, take care over there in Aus,or wherever you 4 end up touring,Love your videos and banter, Happy future everyone,
Awesome series guy's loved your comments your video's first class promotion of our stunning south island the energy you all projected...Elaine your a doll hope to see you all on your next NZ excursion...stay safe.
That was epic and worth a thumbs up! . The drone footage was right up there with MDBs, say gidday to Danny for us mate. The South Island is a very pretty little Island. Hope you liked Christchurch, we had to rebuild it a while ago due to a couple of big shake ups and most of us here in the south think it`s a vastly improved modern and great looking town. The North Island is just as interesting and you`de be welcomed back for that tour. Ride safe.
Great series!! Probably make me appreciate what’s on my front door a bit more! Great to meet you guys in Invercargill . Look forward to more vlogs from you guys in the future! Thanks
Great video Hope your doing well .I have always wanted to visit NZ my brother lived there for 3 years. It is a bucket list place for me . Fantastic Edit on this well done!
We used to go to a bike rally 1/2 way between Q/town and Glenorchy at the 12 mile delta , yearly it was one of the great rallies in the 90’s. I’m glad you’ve had such a great time , come back soon. It’s m/cycle heaven in the south that’s why I need 3. 😂
Thx for the vid mates. Glad you could see a peace of the true NZ. a Fact was mentioned: pies are ok. NZ does not have very good pies. They lack behind the world. NZ is an awesome place. Sooo many good KIWIS, true people with good intentions and a good heart, and beautiful places to discover. I am an immigrant from RSA. Being here for 15 years. In another 15 years, I might be considered to be a KIWI. LOL. Luckily, it only rains here now and then...Pinocchio!!! There is sooo much to see and experience in NZ. Outside of AKL, life begins. a Wonderful land full of opportunities. Aotearoa, the Land of the long White cloud. GO NZ!!!!
@@2631Fred thanks for the kind words, glad you enjoyed the series, we definitely found a couple of nice pies along the way, it’s a great place with really nice people, can’t wait to get back over there to see more
I live in G Town I seen you at GHD a couple of weeks ago. We were in NZ same time as you doing South Island. I can confirm it was wet and bloody cold at the Bert, I seen one of your flyer's there we must have been close to bumping into you a few times over the trip.
We have all this beautiful scenery in the United States and Canada as well. Every summer I ride around North America, mostly U.S. and visit and camp and motel for at least 3 months. This year I took my Son who rides but was able to get 6 week vacation from work. The great thing about the US is there is so much more. I liked New Zealand but it was so small over quickly and cost a fortune. My experiences in Australia as well as Africa and South America on motorcycles were very good. Just need to know where to go.
NZ is gods country mate spent 4 days there with my daughter amazing joint, going back on my own in October to ride in a 5 day KTM off-road tour can’t wait.
The Doughnut was part of a worldwide promotion for The Simpson's where they installed the giant doughnuts in all the Springfields around the world. I'm guessing that most of your travels were done on sealed roads?
@@TheHarleyRoadshow there is always an opening for decent doughnuts. I'm glad that you managed to find spectacular scenery even with the restrictions in place, as you can imagine there are some even more fantastic places to see, if you are on more appropriate bikes. While I'm based just north of Christchurch, I do think you will have a great trip if you make a return journey to take in the north island. Ride safe.
@@matthewcullen3158 Make sure you stay at Lake Taupo & ride around the Lake in summer & go up Mt Ruapehu to Whakapapa.It's a great ride & world 🌎 class views from up a Mountain 🏔️ Volcano🌋 .Then after the stay in Taupo head South on Hwy 1 to Taihape & then go East over the remote Napier Taihape Road which is amazing & great ride in summer but to cold 🥶 & icy & black ice in late Autumn,Winter & early spring.The Gentle Annie hill can get covered in ice & rear wheel will just spin.
Been very busy this year mate we finished whynot and all those sheds around quilpie up around blakall workn now did u guys go too the burger place in queenstown?
@@tjdawson8942 no I just don’t like South Park or the Simpsons for that matter but yes I love loud pipes but if you don’t well good luck to you. I don’t happen to like the ballet but I don’t tell people not to go
The South Island to me is far more beautiful than the north. But not by much. If it wasn’t so far for us we would go again. Florida to NZ is a long long long flight. But we do plan of returning there.
You ate basic pies none I would call outstanding. Funny to hear Aussies say no desire to come here.. you could say the same for most Australians have no idea whatsoever on why they should come here. I'd come to Cromwell nz just for the pies let alone the amazing rides dirt bikes or road.. jesus there not even chicken and apricot or silverside and cheese or oyster or crayfish pies in Australia.. so enjoy..ya lucky to gettn all that sunshine there..
North Island is frankly not as good as the South Island. That’s where you will see all the rubbish? Lol … South Island is where all the beautiful scenic views are in New Zealand. But I must say, the pies are much better in the North lol
Don't come to New Zealand unless you have lots of money weekly rentals are$650 nz dollars food is very expensive and road users are crazy drivers did I tell you about the thieves
@@werahikoclay2208 sorry but I’d have to disagree, food was pretty reasonably priced, drivers were courteous and I didn’t think the accommodation was overpriced
Why do you keep pushing Harley Davidsons? I have ridden them and competed in trials agains them and they are not good motorcycles. Just shiny American junk. I woud get rid of them and get a decent motorcycle, there are plenty around
