Nice report Dave, keep em coming and who knows I may come to one of these track days.The last time I rode Taupo track it cost me a lot of money !!!!!!For 2 years I had resisted all efforts by Experience BMW to try out a 1200GS as I was very happy with my 1150GS but half a lap on a 1200 made me go in the next day and order one  😎

Hi Svein, and welcome to the forum.I spent 4 happy months in Sandefiord about 30 years ago, converting a ship from a meat boat to a fruit carrier and like petsar68 we found it very expensive.If I remember correctly a pint of beer was over 1 english pounds and it nearly caused me to stop drinking, but luckily I had a friendly bank manager  😀I seem to remember a large statue of a whale boat trying to harpoon a whale and the whales tail flicking out at them (as it would) in the town centre, mvery impressive.RegardsJim

Great to here from you again Bernd, I often wondered where you were now and how your trip was going.I remember that Coromandel ride very well and am pleased you included it in your book.We are all still riding lots over here and it has been very warm these past couple of weeks so long may it continue.Hope it's not too cold for you back home.  😆Best RegardsJim

Problem is that they will probably sell more bikes in one large city in the USA than all of Australia and NZ put together.Would be nice though !!!

I have just found out from some learned riding buddys that this is the same DVD that ACC put out some time ago and can be obtained for free by visiting the following website and requesting one online so if you don't want to buy the magazine go to :-http://www.rideforever.co.nz/CheersJim
