Depends on the vehicle you hire but they're all much the same.

[k14]

Yeah I'm on a tight budget so saving $70 or so bucks helps a bit. Oh and that was just for the cheapest car they have (hyundai getz) which will do fine for me and the mrs.

$70

Nah more like fuel for my race bike or 1/4 of a piston kit. I am taking my bike over to race after all.

What are the shipping costs to take a bike?

Yep, I'm going. Ganging up with some Aussie mates of mine and will be in the Honda Corp. tent on the main straight again. Fly over on Thursday morning, back to NZ on Tuesday with plenty of souveniers. Rain or shine, it's always a great weekend.

Best part of $2500nzd, not to mention all the other stuff. Might get a little bit of change out of $7k if I'm lucky.

While working on a trip to OZ I had contact with Dave. he sent me this. Sounds good to me. I have made our plans for this year but others might like to see it. So here it is.

Hi Steve

Thanks for putting the info up. I have the MotoGP guided tour coming up that
may be of interest to the forum members and was wondering if you might like
put it up as well or to make a new thread of it. We already have some Kiwi
riders booked and have spots left for any others that might be thinking of
coming over to watch Casey do battle with Valentino. This tour presents a
perfect opportunity for NZ'ers to check out our high country roads and see
the race all on one quick 8 day visit.

The general idea is as follows: Fly into Brisbane Sun Oct 7 and spend 1st
night at Noosa, leave for Phillip Island Mon Oct 8 on one of our late model
rental bikes, spend five days on Australia's best roads, arrive Warragul,
Vic on Friday, spend two days at track, ride to Melbourne Mon Oct 15, drop
off bike at depot, jump on plane and fly home to NZ. Total cost for NZ'ers
is $2895 which includes all bike hire costs, all accommodation, fully cooked
breakfasts, back-up ute and trailer etc. The link to the MotoGP guided tour
itinerary is at: www.aussiebiker.com.au/html/motogp.html
