BEKER'S NEW Zealand Autumn/Fall News Letter!

6/5/2014

 
Picture
 A big Hi out there to all in our very Hi-Tech world! We trust and hope life is really good for you.
As usual, lot’s been going on here in NZ! We have had a perfect riding summer, lots of Km’s on the Road Kings® and we have now achieved our goal that I was prattling on about in our last News Letter (Dec/Jan) we have been welcomed into the global network of the Harley-Davidson® Authorized Tours program.


Picture
This is the logo that we have worked very hard at getting and are now very proud to be displaying all over this new website.
Big deal we hear you say, well to us it is very big. To be one of only a very small hand picked select group of tour companies to be able to carry the H-D® Authorized Tours ‘banner’ is a huge delight and opens up for us limitless opportunity, whilst incorporating our long time most favoured ‘rides’, Yes Sir, bring on the future! (F.Y.I the approx number of active motorcycle tour companies throughout the world is 800-1000, the number of H-D® Authorized Tour companies, as of now! just 13 in total) and we managed to be the very 1st in NZ, Australia, Asia & the Pacific regions,Yep! we are darned pleased as punch! And a ‘wee tad’ excited about our future H-D® touring plans. https://authorizedtours.harley-davidson.com/default/page/view/about

This does not mean we are disbanding the use of BMW’s in Europe, just adding more wonderful fun machines to the line-up. With the incredible advance in technology the last few years Harley-Davidson's® are taking Europe and ‘The Alps’ by storm and when in the hands of the locals and experienced riders the Harley’s® can crank along those little European twisty roads real nice and smooth.

Our awesome January 2014 Learning Curves Dental Adventures Tour was technically our 1st H-D® Authorized tour and it was just perfect, all the people were so much fun it should have been made illegal, even though we had very cool temp’s the Learning Curve participants enjoyed every second and created many laughs and joy where ever they went, these people sure know how to travel in style and hopefully some may join us on our Tuscany tour 2015 so we can pick up again where we left  off (many thanks to Roy & Glenda)
Feb/March we ventured around the South Island again with another fine bunch of Yankee-Doodles whom were mainly here to celebrate wee Simone B’s birthday bash (heaps of you will know her person I am sure) can’t tell you her age, but I can tell you she sure ain’t a young ‘Gal’ any more, just kidding folks, I will promise to take on some counselling for that un-P-C, hurtful remark. A really great time had by all, and with no International incidents reported, things went very well with lots of bike trouble free km’s (we just pity the dismal wine stocks they left behind for the Kiwi’s that are left here in winter time)

In just a few weeks time we leave once again for Europe (The Great Kiwi Alps 2014 & French/Swiss Alps Tours, then followed by our H-D® USA: Seattle-Sturgis & Return Loop tour) one would have to be a really sad individual not to be real enthused at the fantastic opportunity of riding motorcycles on these incredibly amazing European and American roads, plus we get to escape our NZ winter. We have a great bunch lined up for these tours and we know they will have a blast!

Picture
An opportunity quite different (and far out of our normal comfort zones) has been presented to us by Roy Hammond (the founder of Learning Curves Dental Adventures and Smiles for Hope Foundation) and that is to participate in a group of Dental/ Medical volunteers offering Humanitarian work in The Dominican Republic, this September 2014.
The Smiles for Hope Foundation visits this country three times a year in cooperation with their partners at
 Esperanza International and perform all sorts of Dental care to various villages over an 8 to 10 day period, I may have put my foot in it when I told Roy “I should have been a Dentist, they get it easy” it was after he picked himself up off the floor after a real long laughing ‘fit’ he offered Donna a ‘one-time’ opportunity to join and help the 51 strong group from the USA & Canada so we could see with our own eyes for the first time in our 36 years of travelling, real poverty and how the much admired local population handle their daily challenges, he guarantees us we would never have had and will never have another experience like this, after our Google research and all the inoculation needles we think he may be right! (one more thing: they have Harley’s® there, in fact one of the 13 H-D® Authorized Tour Operators is from The Dominican Republic, so guess where I will be trying to sneak off to for a chat and a nose around?) The other great thing is we know some of the people that are volunteering their skills, at the same time. So we have others to ‘cling to’ when required (haven’t told them yet). We have only heard wonderful stories from those that have ‘Given their time’ in the past and they have nothing but the highest admiration for the peoples of The D.R.
We will keep you posted on our trip and will do our best to help out the team (I will especially try and stop Donna wondering off to some random shops/markets looking for new shoes or such like).



Picture
Now folks advert time! 2015 will be here before we know it! And for us 2015 looks very promising. We have sorted in Europe an awesome Tuscany, "Con Comodo" Italian experience that will be a real ‘cracka’, this has 2 & 3 nights stays in all the right places. Harley’s® and BMW’s available for this tour and it will book out for sure, so let us know if you could be a goer?
Then followed by the fantastic “Great Kiwi Alps 2015 Tour”.
After that we are USA bound for the 75Th Sturgis Bike week Tour, this is a 30 day wonder ride! Starting & finishing in lovely Seattle Washington. Riding on? Yes you guessed right! Harley-Davidson's®
Please Note: If you are of the type that doesn’t really want to enjoy one’s self beyond all expectation known to man/woman-kind then it may be possible to get other makes of ride but when in the USA why would you not give ‘em’ a go? On their home turf they are simply the best bike for the job.
