Testimonials

What people have said from past events.

  • “Richard and I went on Bert's mainland tour some years ago. We had a bike each, Richy on a Triumph Trophy, and me on a Suzuki 650. Although I was the only lady rider, I kept up with the boys (mostly) and have to say the roads are built for motorbikes, smooth and full of corners, with breathtaking scenery. Accommodation was top notch, with the highlight the bach at Punakaiki on the Westcoast, with the boys risking the rising water and swell to bring us back a bucket full of mussels, cooked on the deck overlooking the ocean. Bring a larger size in your jeans, you will need it, the food is amazing. A most amazing holiday that we intend to do again.”
