Hey Guys!

In our new travel report „temporary farewell” it´s all about preparing our faithful travel companions for their “great journey”.

But despite of all the shipping stress we found the time to have a closer look around the Gold Coast and Brisbane and we experienced a fantastic Christmas day including gift giving and feast! :-)

G´day!

As we left Australia just recently after 1 ½ years it´s time to publish a (quite extensive) conclusion about this (quite big) country. We start with our very personal conclusion about Australia and give you some practical and helpful tips and tricks. Furthermore we listed all our required wearing parts, equipment defects and much more. We also give you all details about shipping us and our motorcycles from Australia to New Zealand.

Fazit Australien - TimetoRide - Auf Motorrad-Weltreise mit Bea und Helle

Furthermore we have a couple of new travel reports about New Zealand:

In our first travel report „Release on bail“ it´s all about our first experiences and impressions in New Zealand and our “battle” with the New Zealand authorities and against the time to get our two travel companions free.
If we made it?
You will find out here!

Neuseeland 1 - Freilassung auf Kaution! - TimetoRide - Auf Motorrad-Weltreise mit Bea und Helle



In our second travel report „The forgotten World!“ we´ll report about our first kilometers on New Zealand´s roads which turned out to be an absolute motorcycle highlight already. Among other things we´ll tell you about our exciting trip along the “Forgotten World Highway” to the rebellious republic of “Whangamomona” where we even got an own entry stamp into our passport!

Neuseeland 2 - Die vergessene Welt! - TimetoRide - Auf Motorrad-Weltreise mit Bea und Helle



And our new travel report „The proposal“ is now online, too. Who got a proposal from whom, why we discovered parts of the North Island in a foursome and many more you can find out in our travel diaries.

As the name suggests, our new travel report „Upside Down“ is about things (or motorcycles?) which stand overhead.
Furthermore we are visiting the place with the longest name on earth and we make a detour to the most southern point of the North Island of New Zealand, where we have quite close contact to some fur seals.

Today we have 2 new travel reports up our sleeve:

On the one hand in our new travel report „Somewhere over the rainbow“ it´s all about… a rainbow?
No, not really.
But we´re exploring the Rainbow Road, a well known Offroad track through the stunning untouched nature of New Zealand´s South Island.
Furthermore we´re exploring Christchurch together with the “German motorcycle gang”.

Sounds interesting?

Well, and as the title of the travel report suggests, we are able to enjoy the pleasure of the typical New Zealand weather once again. ;-)

G´Day!

In our new travel report „Another day in Paradise“ we have the unique opportunity to discover the mountains and glaciers of the South Island from the bird´s eye view.

Furthermore we explore some great motorcycle roads despite of the partially rainy weather and we espied a “real” movie action hero.

G´day mates!

It is nearly been a month since you heard from us last. But that doesn´t mean that there haven´t been any news on our web page. Quite the contrary, in the meantime we have released 3 new travel reports!

In our first travel report „A freezing surprise” New Zealand surprised us one more time with its diversity.
From fresh snow in the Alps to summer temperatures by the sea to our battle against the sand flies there is much going on this time!

Click here for the report:
Neuseeland 10 - Eine frostige Überraschung! - TimetoRide - Auf Motorrad-Weltreise mit Bea und Helle
(Please use language select button on right hand side of the page!)



In our second travel report In our new travel report „Step by step farewell“ it´s all about our last days on New Zealand´s South Island.
We explore some secluded gravel roads along the bays and fjords around the breathtaking Marlborough Sounds.
Furthermore Bea has a little “accident” with her bike and we experience a tropical thunderstorm on our way up North.

Click here for the report:
Neuseeland 11 - Abschied auf Raten! - TimetoRide - Auf Motorrad-Weltreise mit Bea und Helle
(Please use language select button on right hand side of the page!)



And in our latest travel report „Just the usual madhouse” it´s not about a streak of bad luck but of rain which is hunting us for weeks now.
Furthermore we are meeting our friend and fellow motorcycle traveler Paul again and Helmut has to slave for the new rubber on our tires.

Click here for the report:
Neuseeland 12 - Der ganz normale Wahnsinn! - TimetoRide - Auf Motorrad-Weltreise mit Bea und Helle
Please use language select button on right hand side of the page!)



Enjoy!

Furthermore, we have another exciting news: We arrived at our destination for the next couple of weeks!

While our bikes have to spend some time on the high sea crossing the Pacific Ocean (hopefully) unscathed we visit our home country.

We will use this “forced stop over” not only to visit our families and friends but also to work and thereby refilling our travel funds.


Nevertheless we still have plenty of travel reports, user reviews and one or another new video up our sleeve.

So it remains exciting, even if we are back home for a couple of weeks!




Cheers, for once this time from our Bavarian homeland
Bea & Helle

G´day mates!

Despite our „7 to 4 job“ we have been quite busy during the last couple of weeks and have released not one but two new travel reports on our web page.

In our first travel report „Course north” we are exploring New Zealand´s far north.

Amongst other things we are fighting with a whole crowd of people for a hot spring on a beach, we are enjoying riding our motorcycles along the windy costal roads of the Coromandel Peninsula and in Auckland we get spoiled with original Bavarian Käsespätzle (cheese Spaetzle).

Furthermore we enjoy the great Kiwi hospitality once again and we experience one of our highlights in New Zealand, we are riding our bikes on the famous Ninety Mile Beach.
What a ride!

Neuseeland 13 - Kurs Nord - TimetoRide - Auf Motorrad-Weltreise mit Bea und Helle
(Please use the language select button on the right hand side of the page!)



And as the title „The last kilometers…“ suggests, in our latest travel report it is all about our last motorcycle kilometers on New Zealand soil.

And these last kilometers have a lot to offer. We are visiting the most northern point of the North Island and we are training our motorcycle riding skills in the deep sand around the foot of massive sand dunes.

Furthermore Helmut becomes the victim of a nasty wasp attack and he has to deal with some more difficulties…

Hello!

In our new travel report „Ka kite anoo Aotearoa!“ it´s time to say goodbye to the “land of the long white cloud” and to our friend Rik from Auckland who supported us so much.

Sometimes New Zealand made it quite hard for us to travel, as the weather conditions often haven´t been easy, but we will really miss the fantastic motorcycle roads, the incredible landscape and the friendly and helpful people!

Click here for the report:
http://www.timetoride.de/2014/08/10/neuseeland-16-ka-kite-anoo-neuseeland/
(Please use the language select button on the right hand side of the page!)




Enjoy!

In our second travel report „Seperate ways“ we… no, don´t panik, we don´t go separate ways now!

In fact, we have to send our faithful travel companions on a big journey all alone once again.

Therefore we have to prepare our bikes “Alperer” and “Dicke Rosi” and fit them into their new “ temporary homes”.

But the clock is ticking and we don´t have much time left until our booked container vessel departs.

If we will make it and get our bikes ready to go in time? Have a look at our new travel report and find it out:
http://www.timetoride.de/2014/06/29/neuseeland-15-getrennte-wege/
(Please use the language select button on the right hand side of the page!)




Enjoy!

And we have released a new field report, this time about our Priums OmniFuel fuel cooker.

It starts with our search for a suitable cooker and the correct handling of a fuel cooker.

We also share our experience with the cooker in its daily use and tell you everything interesting you need to know about fuel cookers.

Click here for the report:

Happy cooking!

Excellent reading. Thanks

@Bucket1960:
Thank you!
Unfortunately we don´t have enough time to translate the reports into English, too, so Google Translater has to do the job for us. Very poor translation, we know...
But better than no translation!

G´day mates,

lately we´ve been very quiet but during our stop over back in our home country Germany we´ve been very busy with fulltime jobs and preparing the next leg of our motorcycle journey.

But since one week we are in South America and now we´ll finally continue with posting exciting and informative travel reports, videos and pictures!

To finish our motorcycle travel through Oceania we want to begin with our „Conclusion New Zealand“ which is finally online!

We have not only collected information about entering the country, the costs for camping & living and track information but we also share our personal tips & tricks which helped us a lot during our almost four month stay in New Zealand.

Furthermore we give you many useful information, prices, contact persons and GPS-coordinates about our motorcycle transport from New Zealand to Chile.

We hope that the information provided will help you plan your own motorcycle trip to New Zealand!

Click here for the Conclusion: http://www.timetoride.de/l%C3%A4nderinfos/fazit-neuseeland/
(Please use the language select button on the right hand side of the page!)



In addition, we have posted a couple of pictures on our Facebook site to share our first experiences and impressions about South America.

One thing is for sure, South America is welcoming us with breathtaking landscapes, delicious Asado and incredible motorcycle roads!

Cheers from cold Mendoza/Argentina
Yours Bea & Helmut

G´day mates,

our first South America travel report „All mans business“ is about Helmut on tour without Bea. But instead her he get´s supported by his mate Markus. The two went to Chile to deal with the customs and to get our bikes out of the port and they had to organize a safe parking place for our bikes for the next two month. But where is Bea? And why storing the bikes for two month?
