AR08 Transport arrangements update. - SV650.org

11-05-08, 08:52 AM

It was our (the apes) intention to borrow a minibus from a friend to lug all our (TVSF + Soho Massive) kit. This is still a possibility but there are issues.

The minibus in question is normally off the road. It doesn't get used enough to warrant a years insurance. Instead it gets insured on a day by day basis as and when required. This means that if we wanted to use it, it would cost £25 a day to insure.

We will be travelling down on a Friday and coming home on the Monday. That's 4 days which equates to £100. Then there is the cost of the diesel. I am quite sure this is far cheaper than hiring a bus for that period of time.

What I need to find out is if this is viable. A poll then to decide. Who would use the minibus to transport their kit back and fore to the AR? The more that use it, the cheaper it gets.

A poll then. If a minibus was available to use and was cheap enough, would you use it

If I was going then yes! Great idea Si!

What no GM invited?

11-05-08, 11:07 AM

What? The GM actually have bikes?

Taxi!! (2 wheeled of course!)

I'll be up for it if it gets sub-?10. As I'm currently the only yes it's currently ?100, which is a little steep...

I'd be up for it for sure and now that means the burden for me and The Bear is 50 notes each

Judging from the number of peeps who said yes to your previous offer tho Si i'm sure you'll soon be inundated and we'll end up paying a few quid each and that'll cover the diesel too

11-05-08, 12:50 PM

I'm up for it. So that's 33 notes each pluss diesel. Does the offer extend to people too?

11-05-08, 01:12 PM

Well that's two that have said yes but not voted.

I reckon we are down to £25 each plus fuel. So a good start.

Darren, I see no reason why we can't take passengers as well. Nathan has already baggsied one of the front seats mind.

The truth of the matter is we wont be able to confirm if this is going to work until quite close to the time.

Yup I would go for that as well. Let me know happens, thx for trying to organise this
