Success in the States

The BMW MOA rally held in Wisconsin was a huge success with a great attendance level - Ian, John, Joanne and Jesse attended the rally and met up with many old friends and hopefully have made some new ones - there was a lot of interest in touring New Zealand by many people from all over the US.

Two lucky people won a 12 day Best Value tour of New Zealand by attending our seminars at the rally, and we will be posting their pics and details on the blog soon.

The New Zealand dollar has fallen 5c this past week against the US and other currencies, so if you are planning a trip to New Zealand this year, now is the time to book! Tourism figures from all over New Zealand are showing signs of another huge year from visitors to our country - so do think about planning ahead.

There is limited room on some tours through November, January and February - so c'mon over !! Email Ian for more details....

2004 Honda Goldwing GL1800 Motor Trike

2004 Honda Goldwing GL1800 Motor Trike.

Honda 2004 GL1800 Trike"When we were asked by a guest from the US whether we had any trikes in our tour fleet (we didn't) that he could tour on with his wife and children it started us thinking.. "Hmmmm". We genuinely get a buzz out of finding an innovative solution to even the curliest enquiry, so this request really stimulated our creative juices flowing.

After a lot of umm-ing and aah-ing, we thought "The hell with it, let's buy one and find out if it will work"... so we've gone ahead and purchased on and it's on it's way from the US now, ready for this upcoming season.

So if you've ever had a hankering to spend a touring vacation on a cruisy and plush Honda GoldWing GL1800 motortrike, you now can, for the first time... but only from us. :-)
