Motorcycle storage/rental/buying in Ireland

[wheatwhacker]

He all.
I am presently in San Francisco, moving back to Ireland in 6 weeks.
As soon as I get back, I am starting a small side business, along with the running of a small farm close to Cork city.
Here are the details of the business I am setting up.
Accommodation:
I will supply moto travelers with motorcycle friendly accommodation with either a room or a campsite with kitchen and showers. I will also have a complete workshop for servicing or repairing motorcycles including welding equipment.

Motorcycle sales and buy back.
I will have bikes on hand, set up for moto traveling for people coming on short visits.
You buy the bike for an agreed price and I will buy back the bike for an agreed price depending on how long you need the bike. As this is not a rental per say, I will need you to keep the bike for a period of at least 2 weeks.
It should work out as low as US$50/day for a 650cc vstrom.
Green card insurance is easily obtainable as long as the bike is transferred to your name.

Motorcycle storage.
I will store bikes or any vehicle in secure storage, connected to a battery tender with regular starts for a very affordable fee. Also help with motorcycle/car/camper purchase if you need a local address or local bargaining power.

I will have maps with recommended routes, GPS way points, spare parts and even local tour guiding if you need it.

I also plan to host a HU meeting on the farm in the near future. With ferry ports from France and England only 15 miles from my place, it should be easily accessible and a large barn to camp in, just in case the weather turns nasty.

Look forward to seeing you in Ireland next summer.

Good luck with the new venture. I am hoping to get over your way as well as the UK & Europe for approx 12 months in the next few years.

Thanks. It's not a "venture"
I'm doing this to help fellow travelers because, I know what it's like to be in a country where you don't know anybody.
I'm not charging for this service, it's all voluntary.
I do ask enough to cover petrol expense for picking up bikes, other than that it's all free.

Again here is what I can offer.

I can purchase motorbikes and get them in a non resident name using my address.
I can offer a place to stay. It's not the Hilton but, it's free.
I am growing my own food so your welcome to feast.
I have a shop where repairs can be done.
Depending on the season, I can offer a job on the farm.
I can store bikes in secure storage.

I am in a very central location for touring Ireland and both the ferry port and Cork airport are only 15 miles from my property

My local town.

How do you propose to insure the bikes?

[peter-denmark]

Wow, that is indeed the most awesome thing I have seen in a long time.

I hope that someone will use this fantastic offer.
