Doing a quick bike tour in Melbourne - hiring or pillion
I am in Melbourne for a whirlwind tour, wishing I had longer!
I don't have access to a bike here and am really wanting to get out and have a decent look around. The organised tours I had a quick look at at the Info center are massively expensive (spelt: Great Ocean Road tour  ), so I was hoping someone had local knowledge of a company with reasonably priced rides?All the hire and excess charges can mount up, so even a pillion ride could be an option. I am in Melbourne until the 11th April. Any info would be good, thanks. Or should I maybe just head up to Elizabeth street and check out the options there? Thank you (from a very humid Melbourne! My local mate keeps moaning that the weather is rubbish, but for my Pommy aclimatised self, it's pretty tropical )

You're there already?
There's a thread around here somewhere about motorcycle hire in Australia and New Zealand. The only one i know of, which is also close to Elizabeth street is at the back of the Vic market. You could go there and ask about prices, but i think it will be steep. A trip to Kinglake is also supposed to be a good ride, or through the Dandenongs. Don't talk to me about humidity, you should try Ghana in March/April. Have fun in Melbourne. Sean
