“It was Ishka’s first time riding a bike. I biked a couple months before just to be a little more familiar. But yeah, we threw ourselves into the deep end you could say.” so Torren.

Das Reisen mit einem Motorrad erfordert gute Vorbereitung, gerade was das Wetter und das Material angeht. Am Ende legten die zwei Roadies über 13,000km zurück und erkundeten die Nord und Südinsel von Neuseeland.

“We thought we had some cold days on the North Island, but the South Island is another level of cold. Once you’re wet and on the bike and dealing with a 100km headwind, it cuts to the bone pretty quick. We had thick thermals and invested in nice pairs of gumboots which were lifesavers.” lachte Torren nach dem Trip.

Was kommt als nächstes?

“In the future, we’d like to do Europe by bus, somewhere by boat, another place by foot. It’s more about adventuring and exploring and seeing the countryside for what it is rather than just flying in and out for a swell and then being over and done with it–this way of traveling gives the surf trip a little more heart and longevity I guess.”
