Anyone know if three bikes will fit in a Citroen relay?
Got an SV, Daytona 675 and ZX6-R to take to a track. I think they'll go in ok but can someone confirm or not whether they'll fit without having to get them all together for a practice run? I thought two against the bulkhead to the far left and right with one at the back in the middle.

At least you won't need to tie them down.
They'll be jammed against each other so tight! |

I was thinking Chris that paddock stands might help. I can drop mine into your work if that's any good. Might be able to pick up Peter's too if he has one. I've got two really strong ratchet straps, which are the loop kind and might be able to find some er... not ratchet straps.

Have you got tie rails in the van? If they're wedged in tight, make sure you have blankets over any parts that can touch anything else, and some sofa cushions are a good idea.
When I was in removals, we would tie up the front brake, and tie the bike up to the side, with cushions between it and the rails, with the bike in gear.. they never went anywhere. I'd be wary of using paddock stands, up to you though |

Suit yourself, they are called strops.................................
They are a tad heavy duty but you bike will not move if you use these. |

i've pretty much got the go ahead to use the van on the saturday, though going up the night before looks like it might be difficult as the van will probably be, being used on the friday afternoon/evening.

Not sure if it realevant but I looked at getting 3 in the back of my vito and its looked very tight, they were nakeds (z750, 2x hornets) thoguh so the extra bar width makes a diffrence. I would strap up the footpegs to some them poking holes in each other.
