There will be a few more motorbikes on Taranaki’s roads next month, nearly 70 in fact, as members of the Royal Enfield New Zealand Owner’s Register head to the region for a rally.
Organiser Mark Bellringer says the three-day event in November will take riders along the Forgotten World Highway to Whangamōmona.
“There will be about 67 bikes. It’s the most entries we’ve had for a Royal Enfield New Zealand owners register event. They will travel from as far south as Christchurch and as far north as Whangārei.”
The riders will travel to Whangamōmona on Friday, November 3, staying there for two nights.
“We will travel on the backroads, going through the Makahu tunnel and looping back to Whangamōmona. We plan to have our dinners and breakfasts at the Whangamomona Hotel.”
