Our Mission
To assist you with the least amount of organising on your part, to have a memorable trip on Harley Davidson motorcycles with sights and riding you will talk about for years to come.
Barry was born in Napier NZ.
After many years of living in NZ and driving or riding the roads of New Zealand, it was time for a sea change.
That change took him to driving and riding around lots of areas of Australia, but always maintained that passion for home. It is a great place to tour and the scenery and roads of New Zealand are quite different to those of Australia.
It is no lie, that this is a good way of combining a love of riding Harley Davidson motorcycles, and the yearning to showcase great parts of New Zealand to you.
Barry is also an active member of Harley Owners Group. You can read more about HOG here.
