Need help booking a RE500 in Goa
(note to mods: Not sure whether this query should go in GBD or Help me..please feel free to move the thread to the suitable forum)
Hi All,
I will be at Goa from 30th Nov to 3rd Dec (4 days) and would like to rent a bike. Now, before I get lambasted with links to sites like
I am very specifically looking for a Classic 500 or a Thunderbird 500 with an option to book a bike online with booking confirmation. Most of the sites I stumbled across ask me to fill up a form with my contact details and then send me an automated reply on the lines of "We will get in touch with you soon". I never heard from them after that. Ripoffs!
There are, of course, a couple of genuine sites which do allow online booking, but they are primarily targeted at international tourists and theiir rates are outlandishly expensive - I mean, 3500 bucks a day for a bike? I have rented bikes at Goa before and I can confidently say that for those prices I can get a self-driven Thar!
Hope I have been specific enough with my query - I want to get a confirmed booking done with realistic rates, with an assurance that a specific bike (CL500/TB500) will be awaiting me when I check in at Panjim. Any pointers in this regard will be highly appreciated.
Thanks

www.besttoursingoa.com, www.indiabikes.com, www.enfieldpoint.com, www.roofnride.com or www.goaholidayhomes.com,
please let me clarify - I have already done the Google search part and I am unable to find what I am specifically looking for. In short - this isn't the usual "where can I rent a bike and blah blah" query. I am very specifically looking for a Classic 500 or a Thunderbird 500 with an option to book a bike online with booking confirmation. Most of the sites I stumbled across ask me to fill up a form with my contact details and then send me an automated reply on the lines of "We will get in touch with you soon".
