From Peaks to Valleys! My Danseys Pass Motorcycle Experience – EP. 22
EDITORIAL SUMMARY
This New Zealand episode follows onherbike’s motorcycle experience at Danseys Pass, in the high country. It is part of a solo, around-the-world journey that began in 2017, with the pass and its winding roads at the centre of this instalment.
About this film
Episode 22 is presented as a ride through Danseys Pass, with the title suggesting a journey between higher and lower ground. The available description sets the film among New Zealand’s high-country landscapes and identifies winding roads as a defining part of the experience. It belongs to the wider “Are We There Yet” journey: onherbike left Australia in April 2017 for a solo trip around the world, without a fixed final destination or planned duration. The episode was recorded in March 2024 and is listed in the New Zealand series. The supplied details do not establish the ride’s exact starting point, itinerary or eventual destination, so the focus here is the pass itself rather than a claimed route beyond it.
The journey
The film’s stated subject is a motorcycle ride at Danseys Pass, framed by the title as a move from peaks to valleys. The description points to winding roads and the raw landscape of New Zealand’s high country, making the terrain and the act of riding through it the main draw. It does not identify particular road conditions, stops, encounters or challenges, and gives no account of what happens before or after the pass. Viewers can therefore expect a location-focused chapter in a much longer solo journey, rather than a fully mapped route narrative. The broader journey began in Australia and has no stated final destination or end date; this episode marks a New Zealand segment of that continuing story.
People, places and moments
The central place is Danseys Pass, described as a New Zealand high-country ride, while the wider human context is the creator’s solo world trip on a BMW F800GS. The description names that motorcycle as the bike for the ongoing journey, but does not provide further technical detail or say whether the episode focuses on the machine. It also explains that the journey raises money for Franek, a child in Poland who has cerebral palsy and needs ongoing rehabilitation. That context sits behind the travel series; the supplied information does not indicate that fundraising is the subject of this particular ride. The account is therefore useful for viewers interested in a specific New Zealand pass within a long-running international motorcycle journey.
