Travelling to South Island to pick up motorcycle, what do I need to do/take?

[Tazz]

forget both, you pay the ferries to include material to tie your bike dwon, whay would you want to provide them make a scene too to prove a point

Both flavours of ferries have em, and chocks, and will tie them for you if you're not confident (Blue Bridge will anyway) but they are always covered in salt water and manky as. I wouldn't worry about it with a DR but I always take my own for the CBR. It's a small bike too so my thinner tie downs/rope are easier to sling around it without rubbing where they shouldn't.

As for making a scene, don't surprised if you do and find your bike is the only one secured with chain instead of rope

Well I don't know about you but I don't carry a wallet just for the feel of the leather in my back pocket.

I'd think some Akzle repellent spray might come in handy? After all, you can't carry .338 ammo on a domestic flight nowadays...

As said previously why do you need 20m of rope for No 23. depends on height of tree???

Are the spare undies,spare plug and baby wipes for when the security team at airport have finished with him after discovering the small jerry can of fuel???

[Woodman]

I took my helmet and a carry on bag with gear last year on the plane no worries. Wore my boots with jeans and changed into riding gear when rode the bike home. Ferries have rope, and most guys I have seen overkill tieing their bikes down anyway. Enjoy the ride.

[MarkH]

Oh, make sure you're sorted to get into Blenhole from the airport too before you land. It's a little out of town/spendy taxi if the shuttle is fully booked.

Seller says he is 10 minutes from airport, he has offered to pick me up so that makes life easier.

Just got a 2 litre petrol container from Touratech, I should bring that on the plane!

If I have my phone then I also have EFT-POS card, Visa Debit card, License & enough cash for petrol or whatever.

It couldn't hurt to own some tie downs, I don't have any at the moment but Repco Blenheim will be open and it is on the main street and therefore easy to find. I can't think of a good reason not to just grab a set there and not worry when I get to the ferry.

Coming home I'll probably need to figure out where to stop for the night.
The ferry is scheduled to arrive in Wellington at 5:30pm and I will have been awake since before 5am - a 6 hour ride to Morrinsville might be a bit much at that time.
I'll probably look to having diner and staying somewhere overnight and then having a nice ride home on the Friday.

uses for (shit ass chinese ratshit ratchet) tie downs: tying shit down.

Uses for rope (if you have sufficient penis): 1, 000, 000.

Women dont need rope.

I'm not sure that any of us really want to know what you do with your penis & rope.

Palmy could work, less than 2 hours from Welly - could be there around 7ish and get a good night's sleep, wake up refreshed and ride 4.5 hours or so back to Morrinsville.
