U.K. RIDER VISITING BRISBANE EASTER TIME, ANYONE KNOW OF ANY DECENT MOTORCYCLE HIRE SHOPS IN THE AREA.
Neil, as far as I know there aren't too many bike hire firms in Brisbane. There are some on the Gold and Sunshine Coast (1.5 hours north and south of Brisbane respectively). I am sure that they could arrange to have one brought up to you if neccessary. Hire wise they have everything from Ducatis to BMWs to Harleys.
perhaps this place: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.ozmoto.com/">http://www.ozmoto.com/</a><!-- m --> (says it it is brisbane) Good luck with finding a suitable bike!
