Hi all, and a happy new year!
A friend and I will be spending a couple of weeks touring the South Island in Feb/March this year (2016).
Our bikes will get delivered to Nelson 1-2 weeks ahead of us with some gear and we'll then fly in from AKL on February 26th.
(Before anyone gives me grief for not riding down, time off work is hard to get so this way we can maximise our time in the South Island!)
Firstly - Are there any awesome KiwiBikers local to the Nelson area that have any advice on where we might be able to store a couple of bikes for a week or 2 (depending on the transporters timetable)?
Or, even better, anyone have a spot in their garage?! Obviously food, beer, and whiskey would be enjoyed on us! (We're good value, in our 30's)
Secondly - current itinerary is roughly 2 weeks long, key spots (not necessarily accomm stops) below. Would be great to get some advice on "must do's" and "don't bothers" of places to visit and roads to ride. (Bearing in mind the CBR and R6 aren't that keen on gravel 😋)

Also - apologies if I've posted this in the wrong place, if so could someone advise how I move it?
