Default Motorbike Transportation....

Righto, a bike that needs picking up from Weston Supermare and delivered to Sussex/Surrey border.

Yes, I can get a company off the net to do the job but happy to save some money and someone else make some too.

Anyhoos, anyone coming from that way or knows anyone that might be coming down that way and wouldn't mind making a bit of cash in hand lol, rather than return empty etc, then get in touch.

Pickup date/time is pretty flexible



Cheers
Ben

There is probably no one around the Weston Supermare / Sussex/Surrey border area at the moment that could help you.

Could you not hire a van?

Hope you get it sorted soon.

Richie,

I did think of hiring a van but I find motorways hard enough work in a car and van would be worse. That'd also take me away for a good part of day so if can luck on here, I'd be getting a delivery company to do it.

Price would be about the £100 mark so worth paying the extra anyway, compared to hiring a van and being out for most of day.

I can't wait to have the beast here...all 125cc of it



Cheers
Ben

So you want a 125 to be driven down the Motorway to pretty much London?

Maybe some kind of convoy could happen, I'd be happy to take it for the last third or so of the journey?

Can 125s go on motorway? (legally)
