Motorcycle movers or Biketranz?

[happykamper]

Any preference?

Bike Tranz has moved two of my bikes. Good service, no fucking around, and the guy sleeps in the truck when it's parked overnight.

Highly recommended as one service (in this fucked up third world socialist hell that used to be a great country) that actually works.

Bless your cotton socks.

My Duke arrived courtesy of Biketrans from Kerry at Motohaus, to Invercargill. Completely on time, well secured, polite, can't fault them.

And dang, he must have had a $200,000s worth of bikes on board even when he arrived here. :woohoo:

yep...BikeTranz, awesome service, bikes are much loved and well looked after:yes:

Never used any other company, so cant comment on them.

[MadDuck]

Have only ever used Biketranz. Faultless service except the guy didnt want to ride my bike down my suicide driveway....i dont blame him!

I used Biketranz once a couple of years ago to get a bike out of Wellington, I was told 3-4 days it took two weeks and numerous phone calls

Maybe they've upped their level of service since then

I've used BikeTranz on three occasions, and always had cheerful staff move my bikes at the time stated, and with no damage.

If it's just within the North Island that you need to move a bike I can thoroughly recommend Michara Motorcycle Rescue. You can find them at www.michara.co.nz

(Just looked - that site doesn't look like it will do you much good. I'll try and find a number.)

Yep, Biketranz gets my vote, used them a few months ago from chch to akl. Bike on time, no dramas. There was also no diffrence in price between the 2

Air NZ with helmet as hand luggage lol

We used Biketranz to get 3 bikes from Auckland to Invergiggle last year.

Can't fault 'em. They gave us a discount coz there were 3. You shipping a spada perchance?

Im another for BikeTranz - came to pick up my old bike to take it down south and the guy was very good, easy to talk to and was careful with the bike - even wrapping the handlebars in sheets to ensure they didnt scratch other bikes if there was a slip. Bike arrived at its destination 1 week later in primo condition.

Having said that - Ive been told that Wgtn MC uses Motrcycle movers and that their very good. Both are dominant players in the Bike Transport business so you shouldnt have any trouble with either.

I used Biketranz. No problem. Bike arrived in great condition.

If cost is a factor then I can recommend captain transporter. Very good service and very good price. Sent a bike from Palmy to Whangarei for a few hundred less than the other two.

I have used biketranz for a couple of moves now with no issues.

Another for Captain Transporter! :2thumbsup
Moved the RF from Danniverk to Chch - was a lot less moolars than the other companies around. Smooth service with no hassels. Have also moved another bike from chch to top of the north island - again no problems.

i heard that they had packed it in a couple of months ago?

[SeppoDave]

+1 on Biketranz

$470 from Cch to Auk, 5 days including Sat/Sun. Great communication, friendly staff. My bike was the last delivery for the day, so I tipped the driver a couple stubbies.

Bummer - but I know what it's like to struggle to get a new business established.
