The USA Four Corners Motorcycle Tour is sponsored by the Southern California Motorcycling Association (SCMA), as is the Three Flags Rally (a border-to-border ride). They have a Web site for the ride at
And I'm quite keen to get a 4 Corners New Zealand started, and recognised by the IBA... The more difficult would be 4 Corners of the North Island, and then 4 Corners of the South Island.

Well, you can always suggest it. But we normally ask that the person doing the suggesting actually do the ride. And there is no guarantee we will recognize it as a standard IBA ride - that is entirely up to Mike.
If you do submit it as a ride, please note that you should only specify the points that need to be touched (as opposed to specifying an exact route, although in NZ the possibilities are somewhat limited) and the time limit that should be applied. Note that we would count the time on the ferry ride between the North and South Islands as part of the time limit, but not the distance.
Thanks Ira, I might have a go over the summer and see if I can come up with something. New Zealand is a strange shape in that 4 Corners of both islands looks too simple. If it's 4 Corners of each island it's more of a challenge. Interestingly Cape Reinga in the North Island is both the most northern tip of the island as well as the most western, so two checkpoints in one!
