    Bike storage in Nelson for 3 days

    Hi Guys

    I'm looking for a spot to park up the GS for 3 days in Nelson.

    I'm planning on heading out on the GS to Nelson on th 5th of Jan. I'll be meeting up with my girl then plan to head out to golden bay for some car based camping..., Not exactly "the long way round" but never the less still be fun.

    I'm looking for a kind soul who would let me park up somewhere safe such as a driveway, back yard etc.. The bike doesn't leak oil or anything nasty and I'm happy to provide a few xmas beers for the favour.

    I got a shed in Richmond if you want. Lockable , heaps of room etc. No worries.

    PM if you want to use it.
    I mentioned vegetables once, but I think I got away with it...........

    Is Nelson big enough to have a distinction between Nelson North and Nelson South?

    Hell
    OK I crash lots & my R80GS is sitting awaiting spare parts from a donor bike & it isn't a garage but a long carport thing that is really the underneath of our house but you'd be welcome to leave it there too.

    You will regret this move as you drive over Takaka hill in that holiday traffic

    Load up the Beemer and ditch the car I say.

    We've even got a North Road in the north of the city.





    and another North Road 50km south of the city just to be sure.
    You never know when the poles will swap.

    maybe we need to share custody of Benjahs bike.

    And I don't see what crashing has to do with it. I call cheap shot

    I think the time has come to call for a group conference to sort out who is going to look after benjahs bike. At the end of the day the BMW's safety is paramount and we need to respect that.

    Well, I have a locked up garage, lined, carpet floor. Soft music for ambience. A black ninja for company. A night blanket should it get cold. Plus a guard cat on duty!
