About this film
Episode 3 of “My Kiwi Adventure with Chris Birch” centres on the meeting between the OnHerBike creator and Birch, described as a New Zealand motorcycle icon and off-road rider. He takes her around what the description calls his backyard: the Coromandel Peninsula. The episode belongs to the creator’s New Zealand series, while her wider travel project began with a solo departure from Australia in April 2017 for a trip around the world. The available information does not set out how this ride connects to particular earlier or later stops, so the film is best approached as a focused encounter within that broader travel story. Recorded in February 2024, it also reveals that a filming team was present to capture the coastal ride.
The journey
The stated journey is a coastal ride on the Coromandel Peninsula, guided by Birch. The description identifies the peninsula as being on New Zealand’s North Island, but gives no road names, start or finish points, mileage, or detailed account of the riding conditions. It therefore offers a clear sense of the episode’s setting and company without promising a full route guide. The filming team’s presence adds another strand to the journey: alongside the ride itself, viewers are invited to see something of how the outing was recorded. No specific incidents or obstacles are detailed in the supplied information.
People, places and moments
Birch is the central companion, and the episode’s premise rests on seeing the Coromandel through a place he considers his backyard. The other notable presence is the crew following the ride to make footage, which gives the film a behind-the-scenes dimension as well as a travel setting. The creator’s larger project is a solo motorcycle trip around the world that began in Australia; the description names a BMW F800GS in connection with that project but does not establish which motorcycle appears in this particular episode. The available details focus on the coastal ride, the local guide and the process of filming rather than a detailed itinerary or a sequence of specific events.
What to expect
- A coastal motorcycle ride on New Zealand’s Coromandel Peninsula.
- Kiwi rider Chris Birch as guide and companion.
- A behind-the-scenes perspective with a filming team present.
