Sorry not as good as you the best I have had is £39 for a Vauxhall Vivaro from 1car1

Gary seems to be correct No found anyone with a tow bar!!

Will we get our names painted on the sides like real bike racers

That price is for 400 miles

Hope you'll manage to push adolf up onto the van dude cos i wont haha.

Anyone out there lend us some straps

I got one Puddock stand so you'll need one dude.

and a ramp?

and some gaffa tape incase he does my head in and i need to tape up his gob

I'll buy some starps if we cant borrow any. What type of paddock stand do I need?? is it for the front or the back?? or both??

I'll lend you some straps Allan.

You may struggle with that as most vans equiped to tow a trailer now need to be fitted with a tachograph and that means extra legislation for hire companies and extra insurance .

Unless you are of travelling people society . Then you do it and worry about it if you get stopped.

You dont need a paddock stand, it helps but is not essential. Cable tie your front brakes as well when in the van and obviously try and leave it in gear.
Dont use any old plank of wood, a scafold plank is best.

If you worried about pushing the bike up just start it up and walk it up the plank in 1st gear if you know what I mean.

Cheers dude but i can't even walk it round on the ground. Certainly wouldn't be able to reach to get it in the van by walking him up the plank Think i may have a problem

I have a plank and straps and petrol cans if you need a shot

Just noticed its the 23rd your going, I wont get back from Cadwell till late on 22nd July if any use.

Cheers Chick

Your same height as me, how do you manage to get the bike in the van?

Great Rowan!!! We'll get the LWB, if that's okay with McW tell them your going with someone called William Farquar and you'll get it even cheaper

Gonna kick your ring piece bitch

@ Lynners where was the £30 MWB Trannie from.

We've used 1car1 every time this year, usually the cheapest and it's a Vauxhall Vivaro. 2 bikes plus kit easy! Can cruise at illegal speeds with great ease, i'm told. Economical too compared to certain transits.

Be a bit crap if i crash tho. I'm prepared to crash with a different set of plastics too I'd probably not be able to help myself and go fleeing up the road and get myself banned. I don't do riding on dualers *YAWN*
