    Bloody bike transporters

    When they tell you that they are going to pick your bike up in Wellington and bring it to Auckland on Friday make sure you check when it is actually going to get to Auckland.which i didn't i just assumed that it would be here friday and i would have my new toy for the weekend. Wrong today is tuesday and still no bike i am now told i should get it tomorrow i frigin better.I want my toy

    Stink man I hope you have arranged to take the next few days off to ride her in.

    I would have been happy to ride it up for a return bus ticket.
    Waiting sucks, let them know how put out their performance has left you

    We usually allow a few days for our rentals to get shipped back.
    Cycle Movers seem quite good so far.

    The bike transporters I know of do not offer an express service. They pick your bike up in Wellington, along with others. As they progress north through the island they pick up others, and deliver some, at various places. This takes time. Also, they probably did not start north until Monday, they too have families and want to spend the weekend with them.

    Eventually, they will reach Auckland.

    Good things take time. Have some cheese.

    I can't stand bike trainspotters either. Wankers.

    Bugger matey. I presume this is the wee RS125?

    One of the reasons I didn't get a transporter is cause they lie to you.

    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods
