Prices to be exact.
just won a vfr 750 thats down in torbay, i live in surrey. Cant pick it up at all and the guy wants almost £300 to deliver it. roughly a 350 mile round trip. Sounds like abit of a rip to me so can any one recomend a bike transport service?? looking for reliability and good prices. Thanks brock. |

Less than a pound per mile in a van, £75 for fuel, a mans wages for the day £80,cost of van insurance/tax/maintenance and depreciation £15 per day= total cost £170.
Must be cheaper to have a day off and ride it back unless you are on excellent wages |

I'm off to Torbay next weekend so may be able to help out. I live in Wiltshire so would cut the distance between you and the bike down a bit, it would invlove me riding it back though; not sure whether you'd want that?
PM me if you want. Last edited by andyb; 24-01-10 at 07:22 PM. |

Loads of mans with vans on ebay, I had quote from manchester - molesey, was circa £100-£130
depends if they can double up jobs in the area. being a peninsular it'll probably be a little more expensive, |
