    Check the notice boards in the local bike shops.

    Either AFC or City Honda have an ad for a guy at Ashhurst that does this.

    Hmm, I have the ad for the guy in ashhurst, but I dont really have a way out there except via bike, which I dont have a licence for, which they probably won't be too amused about.

    Thought his ad said he hired out bikes.

    I think he has a web site too, but don't have the address. Try a Google.

    There is the link. They are a fucking AWESOME group to do it through. They offer little gn125's for training on.. $80 for a newbies course and if yo show enough skill on it, You get your Certificate free!! Otherwise, You can sit the certificate for $60 from memory..

    They operate at the Recycling Centre on the Fielding - Ashhurst road.. Take the bike to the campground and lock it up.. From memory It is about $10 to stay the night.. And it is within walking distance.. And a bit..


    My bad... Just found the place here! http://maps.google.co.nz/maps?f=q&so...09645&t=h&z=17


    It is on the Bunnythorpe - Ashhurst road.. Whoopsie!
    The only stupid question is a question not asked!

    Hi there . . . just a quick note to say thanks heaps for the fantastic feedback! We really appreciate knowing that our service is being passed on by such positive word of mouth!

    Just as a side note, obviously we urge all motorcyclists to do their bit, play it safe and do it legally. However, we also understand that sometimes the only mode of transport someone has is their bike! It's not our job to judge how you arrive, it's our job to provide you with a quality experience, great safety tips and a friendly, approachable environment.

    Cheers again for the great feedback! Looking forward to meeting more KiwiBiker followers! :-)

    The Team at StayUpright.co.nz
