2007 Isle of Man TT Centennial trip
We've had dozens of "thank you" calls as a result of the great time they had.
this from Mick & Jan Hope:
Dear Dave and Maggie,
I picked the bike up today from Sydney.
This is just a short note to say THANKYOU to you both and Andrew for giving Janice and I a hassle free holiday of a lifetime. It was so good; we’ll do it again in the not too distant future. Maybe NZ.
Looking forward to seeing you at a show some time soon.
Mick and Janice.
This from Tony Border:
Dave and Maggie,
A short note to say that I arrived home last night (knackered) after a fantastic two day ride home on the BM from Sydney, across the Snowy Mountains from Cooma, and down through the Bogong Park to Omeo and Bairnsdale. Sunshine all the way, very little traffic, and the BM ran like a clock. The only explanation was that I was being rewarded for being such a good lad in my past life!
Anyway, the BM is back in its shed for the first time since March, having travelled around the globe, and all is well in Border land.
It has been a terrific year for me, and I wanted to say “thank you” to you both for facilitating such a great trip. It is obvious that, forgetting from the commercial aspects of the exercise, you both enjoy what you are doing, and that is reflected in your approach to the efficiency and quality of the services you provide. I could see that there were quite a few hiccups and problems along the way (including mad buggers who inadvertently lock their panniers so that they can’t be opened for customs inspection!), but they were tolerated as expected examples of human frailty and dealt with pragmatically, albeit with Dave’s temporary frothing at the mouth (lasting until you settled him down with a calm word and put a beer in his hand, Maggie).
I will be happy to be home in my own cot for a while, but no doubt will develop itchy feet (and wheels) and think about another trip at some stage, so I will keep an eye on your offerings. But I trust that we will, in any event, keep in touch.
Again, many thanks.
Ciao.
Tony

Dave ,just confirming with you that Roger Keane & myself picked our bikes up from Botany today, Wed 14th,at 10am. We thank you for your service and attention to detail, as it made our NZ visit hassle free. I guess you had your problems arranging the new depot in Botany, but we could not speak more highly of the staff, ease of getting there, and facilities, compared with the Homebush bay depot. All the best for the future and thanks again for a job well done.

Dave, Picked up my bike today from WSI and this prompted me to write you a short note thanking you for the professionalism in freighting my bike to NZ and return. The bike was returned in excellent condition and the trip was absolutely bloody fabulous. Without your service I would never have experienced the sheer pleasure of riding in "bikers paradise" for almost 5 weeks. I wish you all the success in the future, especially with the Isle of Man consignment this year. Dave, once again thank you and I will certainly be singing your praises. Regards, Keith Brill

Neil Earnshaw wrote: “Having previously had the experience of organising
the shipping of our BMW motorcycle to the UK and return
ourselves, we know what was involved in the procedure. Using
the facilities of Dave & Maggie took all the hassle
out of these arrangements, making our recent (Feb 2002)
New Zealand trip one of the best holidays we have ever experienced.
We highly recommend your services and hope to do another
trip with you in the near future.
We would be quite happy to talk to anyone contemplating
one of your trips if they need the encouragement”.

from NZ unmarked with your assistance greatly appreciated.
The NZ tour was fantastic, the roads better than any world
wide (this couple have seen more than most) – meals
100% - locals most helpful”.

bike has to be one of life’s experiences. Dave organised
bike shipment – return – at a cost equivalent
to a couple of weeks worth of bike hire– no other
option comes anywhere near it. Go Dave”.

4 years ago from my room in a mining camp in the heart of
W.A. my motorcycling life was changed forever. I’ve
now been to Phillip Island 4 times for 500cc GP s and SWC
races instead of watching it on TV. I also now can say I’m
a motorcycle world traveller. Dave tries his hardest to
help in any respect to make the cost available to us all.
I’ve experienced his generosity in many ways. Not
many people can say they have been on a run which covered
half the world and 13 different countries. My motorcycling
holidays are far from over, but I would not have experienced
so much. Thanks Dave.
