New Zealand goes easy on naked bikers

Nude bikers storm LondonPublic nudity may be against the law in New Zealand, but on the evening of December 7 in the beach resort town of Whangamata, two young bikers in the buff were told to put on helmets, not pants.

The two young men in their twenties were stopped by Senior Constable Cathy Duder, who says of the incident, "They were wanting to experience total freedom," also noting that they were both perfectly sober. "It was dark and there was no one else around. They were jovial young men who had not intended to cause offense." She warned them they might "experience total confinement" if they didn't get some headgear.

Constable Duder, according to Yahoo, reports that the men turned right around and went home, and she doesn't know if they continued their free-ballin' joyride later. We wonder if they ended up opting for television instead -- naked biking sounds a little uncomfortable ... but if you're into that, sounds like Whangamata should be next on your list.
