Hey I dont stir was just a simple question, Ash told me your gonna sell me you zx7 for $4k

[bugjuice]

Can you hire bike trailers.....reason I say is that if I do not catch up with Jim2 and go down earlier, I have a 7 seat MPV and tow bar so I could take my bike plus those guys putting their bikes on truck and share petrol...

Thanks for the offer Grahaeme. If I don't get enough hands up I think the best thing to do would be to hire a trailer and take a few bikes down that way.

Put me down for one seat in the MPV and one bike space in the trailer - to be confirmed as things go.

The plan is to choose the most cost effective and safest option to transport the total number of bikes made available.

If there's only you and me then there's no point hiring a 20 ton truck is there?? We can hire a trailer instead. If I get about 20 bikes then maybe I need to find two trucks and another driver.

Understand?

I'm waiting for a list of Auckland riders from SM tonight.

Then I will start PM'ing all the riders from Auckland asking them whether they want a truck or not.

Depending on the number of people who want their bikes transported I'll see what's available in the market for that number of bikes.

Once I find something suitable I'll get the costs and tell everyone what they are. Then we'll go about getting the payments sorted out and booking the transport.

As things go along I'm sure we will sort out any issues, we have quite a long time to go yet, I want to do things as smoothly as possible.

HI everyone,

We are reaching the end of the month. Can all those interested please put their hands up now.

Thanks,

JSG

Anyone else??

[bugjuice]

what, can't take a hint?

Hello,

Can I please have confirmations from all those wanting their bikes transported??

If the number of bikes are four to six I shall be hiring a 2-ton truck and heading down on the Friday afternoon/evening. I am prepared to drive the truck down myself and/or share the driving with any of you all who have held a full car license for 3+ years, are over 21 and are comfortable driving a manual transmission. If you don't meet these criteria please don't ask to share the driving. Also if you are seen drinking more than 4 beers on the Sat night, I'm sorry you wont be sharing the driving back to Auckland. (I personally don't drink alcoholic drinks). That may sound harsh, but I'm not taking any chances, as I am responsible for the truck.

The approximate dimensions of the truck floor are 2m wide by 3m long. Click here for a picture of a similar truck.

The best quote I have gotten so far is for $460 for hireage from Friday afternoon/evening to Sunday afternoon/evening. The time of departure will be decided as I get the majority opinion.

The price includes all hiring costs and an insurance excess of $250. We shall have to share diesel costs which will be additional to the $460 figure above.

You all will need to supply your own tie downs ($7+ from Super Cheap Autos for a pair, you need two pairs).

---------------------------------------------------------------
If there are more than six bikes then I shall need to hire a 4-ton or higher truck. I will also need someone with a Heavy Vehicle Driving License to drive it and hire the truck in his or her name.

I believe the cheapest way for us all to get there will be to put all our bikes in the truck and car pool with those of us with people movers. This will probably mean hiring a 4+ ton truck and finding some one with a heavy vehicle license.

Can I please have your responses by the 11th of June.

If the total number of bikes are 4 or less we will need to think of arranging our own transport. Van hire is around $250 a day plus diesel costs.

Kind Regards,
JSG
