A friend I've yet met in person – we've only skyped so far – Master Brewer aka Kym – a friend of those in South Australia who were generous to me in my travels in South Australia last year, is coming to the North Island – arriving into Auckland and departing Tuesday 15 September 2015, initially for Awakino (via the Coastal / gravel routes) and thence on to Pureora Forest before heading out to the East Coast. Route still somewhat fluid at this time. Goal is to have fun, ride safely and have a lot of laugh with like minded moto enthusiasts.Detail here on adventure rider http://advrider.com/index.php?threads/masterbrewer-rides-new-zealand-north-island-sept-2015.1090647/#post-27517537
