Bike transport

[TuonoTom]

Hey so I need to transport my bike from Christchurch to Whakatane (or somewhere close to Whakatane) at the end of the year. Any ideas on what I would expect to pay to get it shipped, and who does bike shipping? Thanks for the help guys.

it cost me $500 to get a bike shipped from Christchurch to Warkworth(just north of auckland) by bike tranz.
could have done it for $450 thru cycle movers but they couldn't have done it for another week.

so those are the two to try, if ya do a search you'll find their #'s on here some where.

See Trademe-sportsbikes-theres somebody offering to move bikes as a one-off for $200.

Call Matt at Bike Tranz. 04 2985469. Tell him Dave from Waikato Yamaha put you on to them. Be wary of cheap operators. Bike Tranz move a lot of bikes for me and are reliable and don't damage anything.

Yeah I found that guy yesterday. Gave him an email but he's only able to transport bikes on these dates:

Route 1: Depart Wednesday 4 June 08
Route 2: Depart Friday 6 June 08

I have just sent a request for a quote to bike tranz, and will get a quote from cyclemove soon. Thanks for the help

Just used captain transporter to get my bike from auck to dunners, packed it up in a crate and sent it to McIvor and veitch, turned up at the shop and they didn't know anything about it but called the wife anyway to see what the deal was ( she shipped it down without me knowing) and then McIvor and Veitch charged her a fee for taking it out of the crate it was delivered in.


Captain transporter are reimbursing her that fee though. She say's they were really helpful and aside from the mishap with the drop off point she would recommend them to ANYONE.

This is a really dumb question:
Why can you not ride it yourself?
Seems "not all that far" to me.

Last time I was home, we rode our XJ900 from Timaru to Auckland.
It was a great ride.

But then we had lots of days to do it.
I suppose if you don't have the holidays or something ... personal circumstances, work, hmmmmm, er ... stuff.

yes riding it back would be ideal,
if i bought another bike from down south i'd definatly ride it back
rather than shipping it.
wish i did with the last one..
