Discover America
Explore our Self Guided USA Motorcycle Tours
Planet Chopper’s Self-guided motorcycle tours are the ideal way to travel, we pre-route the itinerary into a GPS and pre-book hotels so that you can travel with freedom, confidence and zero pressure. New Zealand is a surprisingly big country. Whether your motorbike trip is 3-days or 12 days, you need a clear plan of attack.
By choosing to do one of our self guided motorcycle tours in New Zealand you eliminate the risk of missing out on what only locals know about. Motorcycle rental is great for short blasts around the cities but on big trips to the Southern Alps or from north to south island our self-guided tours are highly recommended.

Our Team in The USA
Father and son Mark and Ben van Leewarden had ridden large tracts of the US on choppers, including coast-to-coast and down to Key West, when they first met American friends John Devonshire — connecting at The Smokeout ‘Back Street Chopper’ Rally in North Carolina.
John is the type of person who makes ‘The South’ so special: loyal, hardworking, and family-orientated guys obsessed with combustion. The friendships set the foundation for Planet Chopper, with the goal of sharing the rich experiences with other riders.
