Renting a motorbike?

Glaucus · 13-07-2008, 22:48

Anyone done this. I could do with a motorbike in a few weeks from friday to monday, for the bulldog bash.
I'm 25 and have full license.
However I can't find many places that rent motorbikes.
Found a place in london that will do a SV650 for a £125 unlimited millage pickup friday take back monday. Which seems ok, but it's in london.

Would much rather something around Bristol or Cambridge, or between either of those two and Warwickshire.

Anyone know of any, or has awesome google skills.

I've not heard anyone doing this. I've hired track bikes but not road hire. I guess the risk is to high.

Ditto - I never knew you could hire a bike. If I had I'd have done it whilst I was bike-less!! Sorry I can't help you out matey.

As the others have said, it's very rare to find bike hire here. I guess the risk is just far too high.
Do you not know anyone you can borrow a bike from? Maybe just need to sort out a few days insurance then.

oh oh oh It might be worth having a word with a local bike trainning centre. They may point you in the right direction.

my sisters bloke is trying to get a gsxr( I think, I was drunk when we where talking about it) with nitro. As the owner has a new better bike, which would mean I could then ride his XJR. But that is not guaranteed.

I've found a few but most are over £200, I suppose this place in london is my best bet then

Anyone else going to bulldog?

Which wouldn't be to bad, could drop the car at my bros. Then ride the bike to cambridge and meet the gang..
