From New Zealand to Ireland by motorcycle!
Starting 13 March 2024 I'm riding my motorcycle overland from Auckland, New Zealand to Cork Ireland (apart from the watery bits and civil war-y bits). It will be about 18 months of ups and downs (literally), highs and lows, smiles and sighs.
Part of the challenge is to raise NZD $300,000 or more for the intellectually disabled community in NZ ( www.ihc.org.nz www.givealittle.co.nz/fundraiser/ihc ).
I hope you join me on this journey. LET'S GO!!!

Back on the bike after 2 & 1/2 months but I get a double-whammy on the health front - an almost totally blocked right ear and a chest infection that lays me out for a week.

Happy New Year Ray. I'm sorry about your chest problems. It's better to stay in a decent place that a sh#thole when one is sick. Your well worth it. There are aome really nice beaches in Oman. I'll look it up for you.
Cheers Magnus.
Happy New Year Ray. Good to see you back up and running - well on two wheels at least. Take it easy my friend. You've got time enough.
Cheers Warwick. Happy new year to you too. Hope you've been getting some R&R over the break. It's going to be slow going over the next 3 months before I get to Turkey, but that's okay.
Woohooo! We're back on the road good on ya buddy, happy new year to you mate all the best!!
Cheers Johnny. Happy new year to you & Karma. Sent you a WhatsApp messge earlier today. Hope you've been well mate. 😊✌🏼
Great to see you back on the bike Ray, safe riding mate !
Thanks fella. 😊💥👊🏼
Happy New Year Ray! I hope you are on the road to recovery, watch yourself, chest infection was how my troubles started. Anyway, safe travels and see you when you get over here.
Cheers Jim. Count down to Scotland begins! The chest is about 95%, the last little bit always lingers for some reason, but I'm god enough. Hope you had a good new years eve party. 😊✌🏼
@@2wheels2everywhere22 I'll be in Thailand end of April start of May, but nothing planned from May to November. New year I was working, straight to bed!
@JamesFerguson-w1r makes me feel not so bad about having KFC for dinner and then early to bed. 😂
@@2wheels2everywhere22 You'll make up for it next New Year!
Great video Ray Now looking forward to your UAE and Oman trip. Don't forget to go to Raz al Khemiha emirate, Al Faya mountain, and Hatta and Madhi Wadha motorcycle off-road trails when your in UAE. In Oman Wahiba crossing and Jebel Shams. Happy new year from Sweden
Happy new year Magnus. 😊👍🏼
How did it go with the girl on Ipamena? The weird towers for churches seem to be popular in Latin America, seen them in Mexico too.
She was tall and tanned and young and lovely...😄
Milei will fix Argentina
I certainly hope so. I'm no economist, but economies are generally run better by the right than the left.
Good video Ray I absolutely love all the beautiful jacaranda trees. I remember them ba k from when i lived in Mexico. Thr obelix is erected back in the 30s to commemorate the 400 years since the foundation of the city. Economy is bad, but its gradually getting better. They recently appointed a new president that is a libertarian and it looks like its getting better for the Argentine economy. I am sure Buenos Aires was better than London.
Buenos Aires is a great city. I just wish I had a bit more money to patronise all the great restaurants there!
Thanks for the rundown on the Obelisk. 😊👍🏼
Good video. Miss campbell, you seem to catch girlfriends in many countries lol
Haha I wish.
Very nice video Ray I hope yo see Iran some day. You know, religion numbers from some countries is not always very acurate. For aome reason, some authorities will let people convert to islam from other religions, but not convert from islam to other religions. If it says in your paperwork that you are, or if your father was a follower of islam, one is automatically a believer of islam. Cant change that. So, if numbera says 99.4% are muslim, but 7.7% confess to Zoroastrianism, and even more to different forms of Christianity the 99.4% dont seem to make sense more than on paper.
Hi Magnus. Good to hear from you. Yes, the numbers are very approximate. I check a couple of sources from the interweb to get a rough guide, but that's about it. Happy new year. Hope all is well in Sweden.
@rayurlich I believe the 99.4% is the number the current administration report that it is.
Welcome to Iran Ray, I'm 2 months late to this video but I hope you had a great time
Thanks mate. Welcome aboard.
Awesome stuff Raydog. I'm defo going to Rio in 2025!
February for Carnival is the best time apparently!
That's some walk Ray. Surprised there weren't any 'not so friendly ' forms of wildlife on the journey through that jungle! Yep, stunning views. The whole of South America is pretty much a Paradox. So much wealth but yet so much poverty! I expect that Rio would be a fun place to spend Xmas but maybe next visit? Very best wishes for the 25th.W
Hi Warwick. Apparently muggers used to hang out on the trail up to Cristo Redentor but they've sorted that out. There was a security guy at the start of the trail who took all your details so that was good. Yes, was originally planning to spend Xmas & new years in South America but itchy feet got me back to Dubai. Really miss being on the bike. Think the viewers prefer it too! Merry Christmas mate. Hope you have a nice holiday break.
@@2wheels2everywhere22 Yes, looking forward to your next bike adventure. Take care.
Fantastic video thanks Ray!
Cheers Johhny. Merry Christmas! 🌲
Nice one Ray, need to get recommendations for places in Rio as it’s on the list. Spectacular place.
Let's discuss over a beer in Glasgow. 😊🍺

The obvious question - did you meet the Girl From Ipanema? Dance a little Bossa Nova maybe?. Fascinating country but like much of South America - there are extremes of wealth and poverty . Looking forward to you getting back on the bike.
I did! She was tall and tanned and youbg and lovely. And when she passes, I smile but she doesn't see... 😄
Amazing Ray & thanks for the mention 😀. Looks like you're having a great time...
Cheers mate. Tune in next week for an up close look at Christ the Redeemer. 😊
Wow. I might have missed an episode or two but certainly wasn’t expecting to see you in S America! Good move though. I spent a few weeks in Rio back in the 80’s and had the time of my life - so thanks for bringing back some very fond memories! Have fun 😊.
Nice! I'm sure you can't put those memories into print...😅 Sad to say but I'm in bed by 10pm every night as my drinking and "dancing" days are behind me now!
Great video Ray especially like the quirky song edits excellent work!
Cheers mate!
This is a massive off-leg googly.... Motorcycle trip overland from NZ to Ireland. Via South America and aircraft! 😅 Ah man, Ray, get back on yer bike! Do some trails! Let us see those lesser-known sights along your route, missing it man.
Googly! 😂 I hear you Jeff. Was planning on being here till early Jan but heading back in a couple of days. Will be doing more trails as well. Just don't fancy camping in the wop-wops on my own. Not for safety reasons, but just find it a bit boring! 😅
Buenas noches Amigo 😂, don’t worry I won’t cry as indeed you truly never left 😊
Haha good to know. Hope all is well in Dubai. 😊👍🏼
Nice one Ray... Great video mate
Cheers mate.
Oddly enough, I was wondering this morning where you might be.! Somewhat surprised with this but on reflection, you've made very good call! There is only so much sand you want to keep looking at. LOL. I've never been to South America at all so I'll be glued to your travels and tales over the next six weeks. Xmas where?? One criticism, Santana would have been a better choice of music over the Modern Art Museum visit! Best W
Hi Warwick. The plan was to spend Christmas & New Year's Eve in South America but I'm missing being on the move. Will head back to Dubai mid-December and will either be there or Oman for Christmas. Santana is a good choice but how do you choose with such a fantastic catalogue!?
@@2wheels2everywhere22 I guess the idea of hiring a bike and heading up the Andes and over to Chile and Brazil crossed your mind?
@5756strat no not at all. The South America leg is not in the budget so just doing some low key tourism. Next time.
@@2wheels2everywhere22You could always rent or buy a 350 or 300cc cheap bike there.
Nice one Ray!! Thanks for the video
Muchos gracias amigo!
Well done Ray, great video as usual. Reassuring to see you making good progress. The Irish accent sounded like my Kiwi/Pakistani impersonation. What! That was Scottish? Never mind Ray we forgive you. Looking forward to more. Keep safe.
Hahaha who knows what it was? Gargling a mouth full of marbles? Glad you're still on the journey Terry. Almost at the halfway mark!
“The big banana back in the day” Was great! Welcome back to Iran. 🧐

Persepolis and Pasargad and the tomb of Cyrus the Great My most important reason for going to Shiraz 😃But it was an interesting video TNX🇹🇯
Yes went there but didn't video as I was with a guide.
Might be your best vid so far. Excellent. Loved the musical motifs. 😊 Horse with no name🤣 Did you ask him if he had one😂
Haha of course not! He probably did have a name but I was happy riffing away with artistic license. 😅

You'd make a good Scotsman Ray but you'd have to learn to play golf. Not sure how those legs would look in a kilt either 😂
Warwick you definitely don't want me anywhere near a golf course! 😅

Awesome Ray indeed more Scottish accent please :)
Hahah, aweeey wit ya lad!
Ray, what kind of tires have you been using in your trip? Make/model?
Hi Jim. First couple of sets were Motoz Tractionators. Amazing tyres and good value too. Highly recommend them as a 70/30 dirt/road tyre. Latest set is Mitas E07+. Much better on the tarmac. More of a 50:50 tyre. The one drawback is that they are very stiff and manual tyre changes are difficult.
TH-cam is slacking. I always get their notifications really late. Like this video i got a notification more than 6 hours after you released it. Wish they can notify at release, not quarter or sometimes a day after release.
Good to know someone is excited about receiving the videos asap! 😄
Good video Ray Sharja is the more conservative (musselman) of the emirate states, Dubai is more liberal with their laws. I have lived in Dubai and found that Sharjah is a place one really only goes to isnone has to. Emaar, which literally means construction in arabic is the large building companynif Dubai. Theybown buildings, malls and even Burj Khalifa. Like a lot of companies it startsnits name with Em for Emirates. That Mosk in Abu Dhabinis beautiful. I went there and whatbstruck me most about it was the marble inlay, the flowera they had made in the floor and walls where astonishing. Cheers from Sweden
Cheers Magnus. You've certainly travelled far and wide also. 😊👍🏼
Hi Rat. The temples were stunning. Glad to see you doing what you love
Thanks Chantelle. 🥰✌🏼
It's the habit of the English speaking world to usually show the most derelict and backward parts of where ever they go. But you are braking that tradition. Well done.
Cheers. 👍🏼
This is not Islamic architecture. This is Iranian architecture. Arches and domes have been used in the same way since the Sassanid era, which was not Islamic, and over the centuries, different and more advanced styles have emerged in Iranian architecture.
Yes you're right. It pre-dates Islam by a long way. My mistake.
Hope to enjoy your travel 🌹👌
Thank you! 😃
THE ECONOMIC SITUATION IRAN IS IN IS ONLY BECAUSE OF WESTERN HARSH SANCTIONS FOR 40 PLUS YEARS, NOTHING ELSE.
Correction, all the minorities u mentioned like the Kurds, Lurs etc they are not ethnic minorities in the sense that their blood is Iranic they are just different branches of the Iranic people.
Correction, in 1980 Iraq with the help of USA started a war with Iran.
