Believe it or not but the BMW GS model has been in production for 30 years now so maybe we should celebrate it….
How about a 10 day ride from Bluff to Cape Reinga whereby at least 50% of the trip is done off road, and at least 50% of the nights are spent outdoors, in true adventure style.
Perhaps we can get each Area Rep to sort out a route through their respective districts, riders can come and go as they please.
Let me know what you think?????
Looks like a darn fine idea to me. Has a date and a route been planned yet?
Not yet, will depend on Numbers
Sounds like a great idea, I assume your thinking of summer.?
Cheers Phil
ok so has a steering group or anything been set or are we still at the “I have an idea ” stage of this adventure.
Not yet Colin, just seeing what level of interest there is and at the moment its not huge. Keen to hear your idea though. Send it to paybug@gmail.com.
How about start in wellington then bluff to the cape ,depends on total time
we have a few guys (3 or 4) out of Tokoroa who may be keen oct/ nov or feb/mar start at one end and finish at other,
cheers.
Looked at the idea of starting from Wellington and went “HUH”? But then a few cogs whirred around and fell outside the sheltered square I live in and a number 8 sprung into my mind.
So a random thought from left field is “start and finish in Wellington travelling around NZ from bottom to top, side to side in a big 8 shape”. Might be a bit of a big ask but thought I would throw it in the mix.
Definatly be something different
Sounds like a great idea. Would be keen to participate in some or all of it.
Could help out in BOP area.
Cheers Dennis

Hi Guys,
I’m from the Rangitikei area, currently Area Rep for BMWOR. Depending on dates etc would be a starter for some of the ride. Would also be happy to assist with ride routes through this area.
