Back in 2013 we visited NZ by car, and immediately know we had to come back and ride a Harley.
After some searching on the net I ran across Bularangi's homepage; all the information given their gave us a pretty good feeling that they may be the RIGHT people to deal with.
After intial contact was established Ali was more than very helpful to plan our 4 weeks trip. She even sent a motorcycle atlas to Germany, and gave us additional recommendations based on their experience.
When we arrived a perfectly maintained ULTRA CLASSIC was waiting for us in Auckland. Minor problems, i.e. missing tie-downs for the ferry crossings, were solved immediately. Ali showed her concern when cyclone Pam hit NZ and she contacted us to make sure we understand the situation and how to avoid any risk. We stayed at the Bularangi Lodge in Waihi and Ali spent time with us for an exceptional diner.
We put about 6200 km on the bike, with no problem at all - me dropping it is not the bikes problem :-(
I cannot see anybody beating Bularangi when it comes to touring or hiring a Harley Davidson in NZ.
Thanks again Ali; we had the time of our lifetime.
