2020 saw the annual KTM Rallye head to New Zealand’s north for five days of epic action on a route designed by, among others, Chris Birch. Kiwi Bike Rider Magazine’s Harry Duffy and Robert Kerber joined the orange armada for the first time.

Every year KTM New Zealand, with the support of local riders, creates a Rallye that gives the riders special access to private farms and trails normally not accessible to the average Joe.

January 2020 marked a special year for me. Having graduated from university, a planned epic motorcycle ride with my old man from Singapore back to the United Kingdom over five months was due to start in mid-April. COVID19 ensured I didn’t go on that adventure.
