well this is a longshot but hey if you dont ask you will never find. I really want to go around a track again but i cant afford van, nor a trailer, nor the insurance. but if anyone lives around KT3 area and willing to give me a lift to a track with the bike in the back will be much appreicated.

I aim to get van and insurance myself one day when i can afford it.

been dying to take the bike out for a good rag and dont think public roads are for me.

got a quote for a van. would cost £3-4,000 to insure.

and to rent for the day of a track day will cost too much. no track time for me =[

So do you have road insurance or not? Not very clear.

If you do just ride to the track and don't fall off. Vans/trailers are for wimps

most places also have an age restriction on Vans, generally 25+.
Most places are £50 for the day (for a mid size transit), plus what ever fuel you use.

i have road insurance for my sv650 but i am not taking that around the track.

not got insurance on the cbr or my car.

with wet weather its not worth the risk of riding there falling off and not getting home. Going to try borrow money for car insurance and some how get trailer.

I'm just up the A3 from you, and will be doing a track days probably brands hatch when it drys out a bit. I'm sure we could get two bikes in a hire van. Also I am old, so hiring a van is no problem. The place I have been to before has a "Builders transit" I.e. not new and not washed very much that is £50 for sunday. IIRC.

I just moved house and a transit sized van was £45.50 for the day and add £15 to lower the excess not exactly breaking the bank

I've gored a van a few times for trackdays, unless you go with the smaller firms they usually make you pay for the weekend.
