    Bike moving?

    Anyone got a cheap method to get my son's bike from Levin to Dunedin? Maybe a backload spot on a homeward bound truck.

    Cheers

    Yes, it's a DR650

    Well you could give Biketranz a ring, I would think it would cost $300ish,
    Otherwise go to some of the Auckland based distribution centres, Auckland to Dunedin is a fair haul, though, they dont usually send empty trucks down.

    Good luck all the same.

    Convince my boss and my wife to give me time off and pay my airfares and I'd ride it back.

    Might take a while but see if there are KB people around the country who are prepared to ferry it a bit of the way each. I think a bike was transported from mid NI to upper SI this way over a month.

    I've used Biketranz previously and they were great to deal with.

    I remember back when I was looking at who to use, there was a company that was getting absolutely trashed on some other website. Anyone remember who that was?

    Hey mate, when you next in Kerikeri? Might need a bike picked up
    Sometimes you wish it was easier, but if it was, everyone else would do it, then you remember you don't want to be like everybody else!
