Strung out biker seeking fix!

**Micktenere** · 20th October 2010, 12:57

Hey folks mick smith from Ireland here,new to the forum. I'm spending next 2 months travelling around N.Z in small campervan with my girlfriend,and have worked here for last 4 months. Am DYING to get back on a bike! Can't really afford one and couldn't transport it anyway,so gonna be bit cheeky an ask for help. If anyone on a farm with an old dirt bike wouldn't mind lending/hiring it out for a couple o hours or any similar situation which'd get me back on 2 wheels an relieve my stress! Any hire places i look up top 200 bucks a day which i can't really justify. Big ask i know but i've lots of exp.(bandit600/tenere600/kmx125 waiting at home) so thought i'd try. Cheers in advance!

If you are coming to Wellington I will hook you up with a bike (dirt or road) and take you out for a ride. PM me if you are down this way.
Choice: RM 250 or Multistrada.

I have road gear for free hire in Rotovegas for 6ft 95 kg frames and larger feet size ....I will also find out about daily insurance fees for additional rider. Might get you out for a cheap ride in BOP area. Road bikes only though....thinking thinking......

Does seem a bit suspect eh Scouse???

2 Users sign up on the same day, both have a 98 600, both are going to be travelling N.Z. and both want to borrow your bikes?

Hey Corse1. Cheers for that,pretty much my size and weight! I'll be in B.O.P area in about 2 weeks i've a friend there i worked with in Ohakune who said i can bring their old farm bike out,if i can afford a road bike and ya wanna head out for a rip it'd be great.
Scouse and Eyegasm,i know its a bit suspect but as Corse1 says the bike bug is hard to kick! I was on or working on a bike every day at home and jus wanna sit on any old dirt bike to keep my sanity!

**Micktenere** · 21st October 2010, 10:45
