MR dont weigh much post him down with some petrol money?

Legs of travel, I can do Hamilton to Auckland if you like.. Get guys to pass the parcel city to city?
A bit risky I suppose, but might be a cheaper way (guys pay their own gas, Pillion back with a mate!)

[Karma]

Could always get a return flight... and see if you can sneak the bike in as hand luggage...

Cheapest flight to Christchurch from Auckland - $89.00. Cheapest Interislander ferry ticket for 1 adult plus motorcycle - $69.00.

+ fuel and food.

I'm sure a kind KBer would put someone up for the night on the way back if need be.

Now you just need a volunteer.

$450? That's weird, they charged $350 to send my bike up from Chch. Maybe they've upped their prices due to fuel costs? How soon do you need the bike? I might be able to get it on an air force flight.

fly down to christchurch and ride it back

have bought several bikes from christchurch motorcylces when they were still trading, they used to refund your airticket if you bought a bike

spring creek camping ground about 10 miles south of picton has cheap accom

you can easily get from there to auckalnd in one day with an early ferry crossing

fly down sat morning and you can be home sunday evening

not very difficult

[FROSTY]

Time is something I dont have an abundance of otherwise I'd ride the bike back myself

[sAsLEX]

Have you tried PBT couriers.............:sherlock:

[R6_kid]

if you time it right frosty i could do it for you. I can get to chch for free, but it would cost ya the gas + interislander for the way back. Otherwise i can do it nearly any given weekend.

hope your not relying on SATS for that, everytime I have used them they have broken down! mind you that has been the Hercs......

[R6_kid]

haha, how did you guess, not failed for me yet. (touch wood) :slap:

still yet to go up in the 757, so would be a good oppurtunity, just gotta persuade the old man to put my name down for me.

[sAsLEX]

haha, how did you guess,

what other free way of getting to chchc is there? neither only had the pleasure of flying in the herc, we normally have to go in uniform what the deal with civvies?

[R6_kid]

just show up... my old man has to wear uniform, they usually say to wear jeans/dress pants and a collared shirt, but i havent seen them tell anyone wearing anything otherwise that they cant get on the plane.

I just got a bike brought up from ChCh to New Plymouth and it cost $100-00. Admittingly it was a rather small bike and was allready crated.:clap:

[fast135]

Try Mana Transport. they got my Guzzi from Nelson to Auckland for $250.
Interestingly the bike went from nelson, down the west coast then over to Chch, up the east coast to picton. from wellington up to auckland. they werent going to stop in Auck as the truck was full of stuff going up north and they didnt want to repack the truck after taking the bike out. but after a quick chat with them they agreed to take it out on the way up north.
I was told by Thunder Cycle that they WILL break something, in my case it was a headlight lens. no biggie. i didnt take out extra insurance...

Jono.

[Sniper]

Someone could ride it to Wellington. I might be getting a bike from there.

[SwanTiger]

I'll ride it for you Frosty, just pay for the air fare, I'll do gas station runners all the way up :D

2 days tops.. 24 hours if the police catch on.

[gav]

More importantly, what sort of bike? All these guys may have just volunteered to ride a Yamaha TY175 trials bike to Auckland :bleh:

[k14]

Have you tried PBT couriers.............:sherlock:

Try Pacifica shipping just need to get it to the wharf, around $150 I believe. The ship takes just under 2 days then you just turn up collect it.
