Hi All,
This is just an idea I'm mulling. I'm thinking it would be nice to visit other cities in Japan, but with my motorbike. I could get an experience of the city that few foreigners ever get. For example, cruising over the sky ways in Tokyo, or enjoying the scenery of Akita.
So what I'd like to know is: are there any 'motorbike moving' companies in Japan, or more general shipping services that could move a motorbike from one city to another? The idea would be that I ship the motorbike from City A to City B in advance, then travel to City B by plane and collect my motorbike (and park it somewhere, perhaps at a hotel equipped with parking), then enjoy riding around there, then send the motorbike back by the same shipping method, and then fly back. It seems that most places either don't have motorbike rental (in contrast to say Thailand), or if they do it's very expensive, so this idea wouldn't be that uneconomical by comparison.
Thoughts?
Cheers!
