New Zealand, by Motor Bike!

Postby Fozzer » Fri May 29, 2015 7:31 am

Over here. we get some fantastic motorcycle rides on the; "Travel Channel", "Worlds Greatest Motorcycle Rides", courtesy of Henry Cole.

Last night on my TV it was...

Series 7: Tour of New Zealand, North and South Island, on his Harley-Davidson 48.

http://www.ovguide.com/tv/world_s_great ... _rides.htm

A way to see the glories of the NZ countryside, from the comfort of my arm-chair!

I love these rides, especially the USA tours...Route 66, West Coast Highway 1, Desert rides, etc, etc...

...and across Australia East to West, on a Harley Street Glide.

Fantastic stuff.....I only wish I could do it on a big Vee-Twin!

(Versions can also bee seen on You-Tube).... :wink2: ...!

I love touring around on my Motor Bikes...and now taking videos of my journeys on my Sports Cam!

Paul...Bike it...You'll like it!....trust me!..... :D ...!
