NEED HELP for prepare motorbike in NZ (AKL)!

Hi.
My name is Olli and I'm traveling around the world since summer 2008...
I have got a bit of a problem right now :
My (second) absolute cool bike , a new Honda CD70 imported from Pakistan and me are arriving in NZ / Auckland sometime around end of January. Long story... but next trip will be from Argentinia to Alaska with 70cc-POWER...
I need to work on that bike before I can go on traveling. E.g. my bags and Topcase need to get attached to the frame...
Does anybody know, where I can find a (small) garage, where I can work on my bike :confused1: Would need a bit of space and some tools...
If there is further somebody who wants to help me out with that, would be REALLY happy to hear from you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please, write to: uhrzeiger85(at)web.de
Thanks!
Regards, Oliver (from Germany)

With Kiwibiker you will likely find someone in Auckland who can help, otherwise if you can make it to Rotorua I have a garage & plenty of tools. You are welcome to come stay too. Keep us updated on here or on Kiwibiker & you will likely get plenty of offers of accomodation during your travels in NZ.

Cheers
Clint

Thank you very much for your help guys!

I booked a flight to NZ on the 30th of January.
There is somebody in AKL, who wanted to provide a spot in his factory for my bike preparation, but he didn't come back to me. Ev'rything is still in progress, but there is always a solution

Cheers, Olli

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
