Renting for road riding round Wellington?

[L'Ecossais]

Hi folks. Does anyone know of somewhere that rents bikes for off-road riding - and perhaps runs tours - in the lower North Island? Thanks a lot. Jon

PM kezzafish or secondfield, these guys might be able to help or point you in the right direction.

Many thanks. I'll follow up on those suggestions. Cheers, Jon

Oh, just noticed this thread....

Im not aware of anyone that caters for dirt bike hire in Wellington, but ring around a few bike shops maybe and see? sometimes they have a couple of second hand bikes that have been sitting out the back for a while that have been reapired and then not paid for as the owners have bailed or suchlike. Try Maidstone Yamaha possibly ....

Nope, he just rents bikes on-line nowadays. I swapped a couple of e-mails with him yesterday so I can defiantely say he is still in business.

As far as I am aware he has some off road bikes for rent.

Try the website as suggested above.

Hi Bradz. Yup, I know that place, but sadly I think it's closed down. I drove past there the other day and the shop had been converted into something else. A pity, because it was the only place like it in town.

Oops - just read on with the threads and saw he is still hiring online. That's good to know.
