    Any bike rentals near Taupo/Tongariro?

    Hey folks,
    Been lurking around since touching down in NZ a couple months back - I'm from Singapore and with my female partner we're on working holiday. Part of our plan has always been to find good trail rides round NZ, and this Queen's weekend a mate and I will be heading down to Tongariro for a taste of the 42nd traverse.

    Unfortunately my partner hasn't got a ride at the moment; wouldn't be a swell idea to leave her at the backpackers' while the guys get dirty, so it would be great if someone could point us in the right direction as to shops around the central north island that provide dirt bike rentals for a couple days' self-riding. We've flown in with all our gear so that need not be an issue.

    Or if anyone out there would be awesome enough to lend us his/her bike... that could be an option! Any 125 / 4 stroke would be perfect, really.

    It's a long shot.. but no harm asking I guess! Thanks for reading!

    Cheers,
    Robin.

    He runs an epic bike hire/tour operation in Waihi. Very highly recommended.

    "Wow, Great advise there DB."

    bike hire

    Hi there,
    Just retired and wanting to do a bit of riding ( toofar/expensive to ride up). In Dunedin, looking at the Epic Events Around Taupo ride. Any suggestions for bike hire? Been riding forever and have done the Dusty Butt 3 x. Due to my vintage, will be real keen not to damage myself or the bike.
