Anyone know where to lease a bike? Also an apology to bikers

**Harry the Barstard** · 4th October 2008, 14:13

Long story short,

going an a big ass (12 month) motorcycle OE soon. I had to sell my bike to settle up debt and add to savings etc. Now i have a shitbox cage (not worth alot of money) that im thinking of selling and leaseing a bike for the remainder of my time here in NZ (4 months)

Dose anyone know of a good place or someone who leases roadbikes that they can recommend? pref in Auckland/BOP/Waikato area?

Also i would like to apologise to anyone who takes offence to a man in a white Nissan cifero shaking their fist at them.
I'm hanging out sooo bad for a ride on a bike i now kinda hate anyone i see who owns and/or is riding their bike. Unfourtuitly im so bloody jelous i just shake my fist at every biker i see (except those guys on those three wheeled things, they can have it) and mouth obsenities at them.
So in advance im sorry about that. But before you kick a panle in on my shitty cage at the lights spare a thought for the pain im in as i wouldn't wish it on anyone.

Just to give you an idea... ive been riding onroad for 11 years and smoking for 10. I sold my bike about 3-4 months ago and gave up smoking 2 months ago. I want a good ride on a bike way more than i want a ciggy......although a ciggy would be nice too.

In hind sight it looks like i have made two bad decisions, I love smoking and riding.

Not sure what sort of bike you are after, but Triple X Moto have another business on the side, renting out Katooms for adventure tours. I think most of their fleet is the adventure tho.

You'd be surprised. I saw a guy just recently sold a 1999 (?) 1200 Bandit for $5k on tardme. I'll be selling my bandit soon and it'll probably go for a little more than 5k. Great machine for the money. Just depends what you neeeed....
