Yankee chick visiting NZ in early January -- Can I beg, rent, or buy a ride?

**Roflexis** · 19th November 2013, 11:59

Hey Kiwi Adv Bikers! I'm visiting Auckland, Wellington, and Christshurch in early January and apparently every rental place is booked up.

So I'm trying to rent or beg a ride somewhere along the way! I could even escrow the purchase price of a bike and release when it comes back in one piece

Just desperately want to ride while I'm there.

My bonafides: I'm a road marshall for one of the biggest riders groups in the Bay Area, am adventurous but responsible, have put 12k miles on my little BMW F650GS in the past 11 months. I am generous and fun, enjoy just about any kind of riding, from fire roads to twisties in the mountains. I even manage to have fun commuting on the bike.

In a perfect world, I'd love access to one of the BMW GS models, but I will have fun with anything with enough oomph to get up the hills.

Would love any leads or helpful info or even just an invitation to have a beer while I'm there.

Respond here or email alalbaugh@gmail.com and I'll hook you up if you're ever in Northern California!

I can only assume the question marks on number 3) are implicitly asking where the tit pics are

Akzle only dreams about them, even during daylight hours, he's probably taking matters into hand as we speak.

1. I am asking to borrow, rent, or escrow the value of the bike.
2. I am from the US, not sure what the relevance of that fact is
3. ???
4. I've already gotten some nice PM's so thanks for the lucky wishes!
5. No offense, but I could buy a 15 year old Gixxer for what it would cost me to rent a nice BMW GS for a couple weeks.

Thanks for the welcome! It doesn't bother me since I rarely have to listen to cretins. They're normally somewhere in a ditch since everyone knows hooligans can't lean. So this is amusing.

Unless you're sitting around waiting for a circle jerk, I'm not sure what you're hoping for. I've worked in gaming, so it's incredibly hard to faze me and this thread gives me no indication any of the trolls are worthy so far.

Thanks thepom! I can't private message but if you send me an email I'd be really happy to learn more.

Well I hope you have a good trip either way when you get here Alexis.
Yes your right about buying a bike, rentals here are very high priced.
Try and work Hawke's Bay into your intinery, we have a good bunch of riders over this way, we could work something out amongst the lot of us.
