Cheaper to hire a bike in NZ.
Walk off plane, hire bike, ride around NZ,
get off bike and back on plane, back to Australia where you belong.
Easy huh.

that is only if you want a bike for less than a week or so

over 2 weeks and it gets exxy

 

@news.xtra.co.nz:

Really, I am interested if I can save a buck. Can you give me something to
back that up with, a bike comparable to say the BMW 1150 Adv, for about 2
months ?

Trevor,
Try this

and this

I'm sure they both have Beemers for rent. Worth a look.
Good luck,
James

Return transport incl. NZ roadworthy and temporary NZ rego below $1500
return for bikes up to 2.3m length (or thereabouts).
We're booked (6 of us) for Feb/March '05 shipments
Looked into hiring, better off transporting if staying more than 3 weeks
(well, 2 weeks really, but also considering costs for servicing/tyres on own
bike).
Drawback re: own bike....Comp insurance expensive and impractical/expensive/
drawn-out to execute claims.
Looked into doing it ourselves, for the little gain there are a lot of
timewasting/expensive hassles to put up with, just not worth it.
If you want to go at the same timeslot, let me know, one of us just couldn't
make it for the 5 weeks and had to forfeit his deposit $ on the shipping,
hiring for 2 weeks instead, so there's a free slot, if you want to buy the
place off him.
Bikes available 18/Feb to 24 March, or fix different return date with Dave
Milligan.

I can get your bike to NZ and back for $1350. Includes NZ Tourist Rego
& A Warrant of Fitness.

I do the Loading & Unloading at both ends.

Call me on 03 9331 0947 for more info and to make a booking.

Kind regards
Dave Milligan

 

East. Get routed.

 

ups? as in more than one? can't see that happening soon for either of us.

 

Dave looks like the solution (thanks for the replay further down Dave)
and thanks for the offer but I was thinking of going late '05 at the
moment, I have a bigger ride planned for the first part of '05.

The only downside is the distance from Townsville to Melbourne... !

On the bright side, I can turn it into an Adventure getting it to Melb,
leave it there for a month with a mate, orgainse Dave to ship it, then
fly over to NZ, rid earound for a month, then back to Melb, fly back to
Townsville, leave the bike in Melb, then fly back to Melb and ride Tas !

Sounds like 2005 is now booked for Adventure riding
