The beginning of a one-month motorcycle camping trip in NEW ZEALAND | Norden 901 [S6-E1]

13-14 February 2024: Come along as I head out on my biggest adventure yet! As I travel across the globe, as far away from the Norwegian winter as possible and arrive in New Zealand. I have got one month to explore as much as possible of this motorcycling paradise. Let's go!

Going off grid along NZs country and backroads is much quieter to absorb and enjoy NZs scenery

[YiddoHuayi]

Beautiful woman, beautiful bike, beautiful scenery. Perfect. Ka rawe!

I haven't watched this yet, but I know by the end of it I'm going to want to quit my job, sell all my things, and go on my own biking adventure. Love the videos.

[miketee]

Thanks! I’ve never been disappointed with your videos. I enjoy them so much!!❤

[GingerCats]

Ahhh. I couldn't quite pick the starting Location, probably the North Shore, although it looked like East Tamaki (Highbrook).
First stop I know well, it was Bombay (the place to stay south of unless you really have to be in Auckland for work)
what will be next? Orere point is a good stop, fingers crossed🤞and then the road down to Miranda Hot Pools😄 (we used to love that place when I was a kid)
Oh, you went all the way down there? You missed out the Coromandel peninsula. the best place in the entire country (& my old back yard)
greeting other bikers, as they pass in the opposite direction, some will lift the two fingers resting on the brake lever (which isn't always visible) or more often than not, a nod of the head.
Possums come out at night, if you camp in a place with plenty of trees you will at least hear the possums having fights over something, don't try to touch them they are nasty and have extremely long and sharp claws!
I hope you did the East coast of the North Island on the way back up, there's so much to miss out on if you don't, and the Beaches on the east are the Best, although Murawai and 90 mile beach on the west, north of auckland are some of the best, oh and Raglan too, west of Hamilton!

The Long (?) awaited New Zealand episodes ... and damn Runa, you kicked the first one of in a awesome way. Your storytelling, filming, driving and editing skills are still evolving in such an amazing way. Loved every second of it ... can't wait untill the next episode. I keep saying it ... your spoiling us ... 👌🥰👍

[LindsayArcher-wc]

I did just quit my job and this video has me ready to ride. Thanks for the motivation

[stokkelandsmia]

i have to say .. as a biker ... you are my favorite ...
lover your vids

[LNRmoto]

WELCOME BACK! Ohhhh how I've missed your vids and seeing that smile. Awesome start and can't wait to watch the rest

[aashishpatel]

Nice vid Runa, it was funny your first stop at the Bombay Z service station is my local go to for snacks and the cafe in Whakamaru is my last stop on my motorcycle to Mangakino . me and a group did a north island trip in Jan 2023 just before cyclone Gabriele, we went down the East coast from Auckland to Cape Palliser then back up the west coast. absolutely spectacular scenery and the roads were in good condition. there is so much to see here in NZ you may find a month is not enough. if you find yourself here again you should put the word out the motorcycling community here is very welcoming. have fun can't wait to see the next vid.

[BMWiGT]

A little late I know but welcome to New Zealand and I hope you enjoyed your time here in my wonderful country. Thank you for showing the world some of our fantastic scenery. I’d like to also commend you on your bravery to travel around the globe to see our country and maybe you might come see more of what New Zealand has to offer. 😊😊

[sheehybrosmotoadventures]

A very pleasant New Zealand scenic ride with the most pleasant Norden 901 rider"

[ggmiethe]

PS. I am filled with admiration for how well-equipped and prepared you are. I wish I had a list of the things you suggest any rider would take on long journeys. Of course the camera equipment would not be necessary, but the Mosco gear looked great.

[doraemon-mlog]

[kerrylaw]
