Ok i was talking to Charlie on sunday about doing a trip to NZ next year, he metioned that a few forum members had talked about going to the Burt Munro Challenge. This event is held on the last weekend in November 2012.
Now i know that is a long way away, but i have emailed Dave Milligan at Get Routed bike transport and he has said bookings fill fast. Cost is $1750.00 AU per bike that includes insurance,maximum length of bike 2.3metres(K100 is 2220 long). Other costs are warranty of Fitness $29NZ and 1 months tourist rego $49NZ. Shipping dates out of Oz ports are to be confirmed but your bike would land in Auckland 19th November 2012 and would be shipped out on 14th December. They are only doing one container from each port to NZ,when theyre fully booked thats it. I have had some initial pricing from Ship My Bike, but they seem more expensive. I will post there prices as soon as i have them. I have looked at hiring over there and for the same period as Get Routed will have the bike over in NZ it would cost about $4000.00NZ plus a $3500NZ security deposit.
Ok i have had a reply from Ship my Bike and its $2500-$3000AU plus you have to crate your bike. 2 weeks travel time plus 3 -5 days pack and unpack each end.
Get Routed will not be going into Christchurch but Auckland instead, so you have to catch the Interisland Ferry which costs about $166NZ one way for 2 passengers plus your bike.
I just thought i would post this up as the minister for war & finance and I have been talking about going over to NZ for a while and this seemed like a good excuse to see if anyone else was interested.
Be a good excuse to have a K100 meet up with our Kiwi members. If we get a really big hat we can pass it around to sponsor CrazyFrog's flight to NZ and back. I'm sure one of the NZforum guys would have a bike spare. .
