Shipping bikes and safetrader both suck

[nallac]

I used motrorcycle movers to get my bike up from Christchurch to Warkworth(north of Auks)cost me $500 alittle more than i was qouted by bike tranz, but they could ship it sooner.There service was good,i would use them again if need be.

Actually i wish i had flown down to CC and rode it back.Wouldve been a good trip to learn the new bike.

My parents want me to stick with biketranz since I'm already in contact with them, and the certainly don't want me flying over. Since the loan is really under their name I have to go along with them

I'll get a ZX10R on my 18th birthday, that'll show 'em

I brought a vtx from chch last month, flew down ($180.00) stayed with a mate in chch (free) . Bluebridge back over the water ($120.00) other expenses were petrol & food ($80.00).
Total cost of getting the bike from chch to home /waiuku ($380.00)
Experience (priceless) .... the ride up the kaikoura coast was worth the trip on its own ....... Tis your bike go get it
The HRC membership is worth the $45.00 btw

Agreed, always go for it. I'm a bit miffed that it costs $25 when it seems like a bank can check your vehicles details at the drop of a hat for free (like when I secured the loan on my Dad's car) but it did show that the odometer went around on the first bike I was interested in and it saved me $3000 when you think about it

Nah it costs, not $25 but costs still, nothings free buddy. Still the $6 for a check the company pays is cheap compared to lending thousands against a vehicle someone else has legal title over. Our repo guy went and collected a car from a Mongrel Mob house the other day, the owner got short of cash, sold the car to the mob and stopped paying the bills. Those guys don't need cops at their place for assault over one shitty car so he said it wasn't too much drama. Might be a problem for the seller tho!
