Huuuuuuuge favour
 

Hi all,

New to this forum and sadly as yet not a rider in my own right - though I'm told a good pillion!! :)
My other half (not going to give him the ego boost by saying better!!) uses this site & said I should get registered...... sookie.

I'm actually in a bit of a bind and was wondering if anyone could help?
Grant (a.k.a. sookie) has been taken into hospital this week :( (nowt bike related!) and his wee SV's due its MOT on Tuesday.........

I know this is incredibly cheeky but is there anyone in the Edinburgh area who might be able to help me out getting the bike over to Saltire Suzuki??

I'll pay....... cash or beer whatever is preferred!!!!

Understand if no-one's able - I know it's a big ask!!!

Aaaaaaand if this isn't the done thing (asking this sort of favour) please please let me know & I'll delete this post! Ta x

Re: Huuuuuuuge favour

EDIT: you'd popsted it there already and the rest of my message just repeats what preston said.

Re: Huuuuuuuge favour
 

cheers lads! It's appreciated. Bit wet behind the ears to this! :)

Re: Huuuuuuuge favour
 

Check with them if it's Ok to leave it there for a few days, if so I could get it there tomorrow / Sunday for you..?
A wee excuse to take a run up the Beeftub road this weekend would be fine by me!


(PS - no payment required!)

Re: Huuuuuuuge favour
 

I wish I could help as I'm in Edinburgh and free on Tuesday, but I haven't got a van to take it in and I have no bike insurance at the moment to cover me on other peoples bikes. Sorry

Re: Huuuuuuuge favour
 

I'm pretty sure you can arrange for them to collect it, depending on distance or whatever. Might be a bit short notice, but I'd phone them to find out, they are usually more than happy to help out with stuff like that.
SALTIRE PHONE NO: 0131 478 6661

Re: Huuuuuuuge favour
 

Saltire will collect, should be free if quite local.
Cant do tuesday but like James if they'll hold it for a few days could possibly ride it in over the weekend at some point.
Check with saltire and post back up if you're stuck.

Sorry it's taken so long to reply folks!! been running back & forward to the hosp all day & not long in - just got the sprogs to bed.

Thanks for the replies - hugely appreciated!! :D

On yer bike - bit p'd off on that one! His last insurance policy said anyone could ride it with a valid licence blah blah blah - this years (same company) says just him - but it was a straight renewal. grrrrrr. Thanks for the offer tho!

James/Kilted - I'll phone Saltire in the morning & check out if they do collections. I did mention it but 'Craig' didn't seem too sure. If they don't/can't I'll ask about leaving it early n I'll get back on here first thing - if you dinae mind? Only thing I'd worry about is if the bike'd be safe sitting for a few days.

Sorry about all this - know I sound like I'm being a bit thick about it all!!!
As much as I'm loathed to admit it - some things are better left to the man of the hoose! hehehehe
