    Bike transport - Auckland to New Plymouth. Help a brother out

    As per title....I am wanting to transport a bike from West Auckland to central New Plymouth.


    Looking for the most economically viable option possible


    Any suggestions?
    To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded

    If you have the time,check out a few local trucking companies,get lift up to dorkland during day/night maybe and ride back.That is if you have time spare.From this area try Thomson carriers they do daily run Manaia to Auckland,and at various times leaving i.e midnight,midday.

    Last two bikes ive bought were from Aucka loffa & I hitched up the first time & rode it back & the other via bus (winter time) & rode that back as well but I just can't peel myself away at present as i've only got one staff member, time is my enemy at present



    ps: lol at suggesting Skidmark ride it here, that clown wouldn't last 5mins on a TL thou.............oh wait..........I just thought of something

    Thought that might have been the case,would fly to dorkland(your visa) and ride down for ya but not sure if I'd relinquish the beast to you.Nice choice,the TLR is almost cult type even after only 10yrs,the next 10yrs who knows.
