It looks like I'll be headed to Oz for the month of November this year...maybe I'll get to meet a few of you. (not that I can understand a word you say, most of the time) I'll be based in Bateman's Bay, hoping to be able to rent a bike for some of the time. It should be fun, being a complete change of scenery... EDIT: I found a few bike rental places in Sydney, if you live there, any good suggestions? I think we'll bring our gear with us, so that's not a problem. Preferably, a sport touring bike...
Batemans Bay? Good riding in the hills around there. PM me closer to the time and I'll point you to a few places I like. In terms of Sydney Bike rentals, I'm not really sure.
http://www.bikescape.com.au/ The previous owner of this company was and still is a real tosser. Its been in new hands for a while and usually has a a good fleet of bikes. I'm not aware of any places that hire bikes on the south coast.
There are a lot of guys on this site that I am guessing would be interested in a ride if we organised one for when you come over. I love the Batemans Bay area it is full of places to ride. Bruce
there is/was a bike hire and tour operator based out of batemans bay i thought. not that i can find it. i know zilch of the sydney based ones. never needed one. as for riding, well i'm sure we'll take care of you in due course ron
Thanks, gents! I'll keep in touch with some of you here, I usually hang out in Great White North. The bike rentals are pretty expensive, but I'm only doing this once, so it costs what it costs. (You can buy bikes cheap in Canada, my friend bought a GS1000 at a yard sale for 300 bucks, and proceeded to ride to Mexico on it) What's a tosser? Is that good or bad?
Tossing is ............masturbating, :huh Tosser is.............Masturbater Considered a National sport here, Under
Gonna replace your avatar with a DR burnout Lewy? Ron, I'm an hour and a half up the track, keen to hook up for a ride when you get here
Thanks for all the replies, guys. Sounds like it's gonna be a blast! I guess since I stole one of your women, there's one more Aussie "tossing".
sbsp, i can safely announce, indeed means a 'ride'. unless of course the lust mode has knocked a spot of excess coating off him. sorted a bike yet ron?
Checked out the rental sites, expensive, but it's a once in a lifetime trip, costs what it costs, I guess. If any of you are in my neck of the woods, I'll be glad to lend you a bike, to save that expense... (it may just be a Ninja 250, but free is good, right?)
Four US mates that I know from another forum have just done 3 weeks in NZ and 10 days here in Australia. They hired their bikes from Bikescape and were very happy. Adventure style bikes though, couple Transalps (that they don't have in the US) and couple beemers. Here at Byron Bay on Monday 3rd March 2009 Just before we parted later at Grafton where they continued onto Port Macquarie and Mark (visitor mate from NZ) and I headed to Glenn Innes, Tenterfield, Esk and so worth home to my place at Cooroy.
