Motorcycle Riding Co.
Ruapehu and Ngaruahoe

New Zealand packs a huge amount of scenery in a small country, and Motorcycle Riding Co have ridden through that scenery for many years.  We can offer a guide service, whether it be for a day trip around the outskirts of the Auckland Region or a longer, more extensive tour through one or both of the main Islands.

Our roads can appear "novel" to some tourists from overseas, as they cover a wide variety of terrain: to those used to roads in closely settled countries with well delineated kerb lines and fast straight motorways, our twisty, narrow roads can be a challenge.  Once you are accustomed to the fact that the only barrier between you and a (sometimes) long drop is your own skill as a rider, then the corners make this a motorcyclist's playground.  Motorcycle Riding Co can advise on routes that will take advantage of many of the well-sealed roads built to service our farming industry that traverse very pretty countryside, but without a lot of traffic to contend with. 

We can advise on where to hire bikes and equipment, where to find food and accommodation to match your taste or budget (sadly, we all know, sometimes our budget can't match our tastes!) and we can provide a lead rider with good knowledge of the area you plan to tour, if required. 

If you want to contact us about assistance in planning your motorcycling tour in New Zealand, text or call on one of the numbers in the navigation pane on the left, or email us.

Trevor's Tips For Tourists.
Very frequently in New Zealand you will encounter livestock grazing on what is known as "the long acre", the grass berm between a farm's boundary fence and the edge of the road.  These animals are customarily only held there by a single wire electric fence.  It's not the greatest idea to roar past them like the hounds of hell, with the throttle wide open. Mostly the animals are calm enough about traffic, but if one takes fright and leaps in front of you, after the impact you will be just as sick as the cow.  Likewise with led or ridden horses: you really don't want one of them sitting on the bike with you!   Keep it quiet, slow down, stay alert.
