i might just have bought another xx, but it is 300 miles from me. Anyone know of a decent bike courier?
I would put a picture of on here but it has too many pixels, surely this issue can be fixed? It would give this forum a shot in the arm.
Regards, John.

Ha! I always knew he lusted after my Titanium 'Bird...quite understandable too.

That is a cracker Bluegas, once the dark screen and top box rack are removed. :clap:

It's allready paid for, Marcus brother in law has done the deed for me.
It's a rentec rack on which will be removed to restore the classic lines, a top box, however practical, will go know where near it, and as for a car boot sale spot light on the front......I'm keeping well away from the bolt on goody shop.
Just have to inform the war office of my purchase before I get it picked up and delivered.

Wouldn't it be cheaper and easier to simply rent a transit for 24 hours at £40 and some diesel cost then pick it up yourself? Get the van in the evening, drive up, get a cheap b&b over night when you get there then a drive home the next day with the new toy on the back? Easily doable

Hmmmm, a bit more than that methinks. 40 quid for a van right. Then about 60 quid for diesel. B&B 40 quid, then there's snap and 30 quids worth of beer. Talking 200 pounds plus. Never mind a day off work too.

Nah, no brainer at this time of year particularly. Ccourier in this salty cold fekkin weather. Saves shitting the Bird up too.

Soooo Bluegas. what decision did you make over this? ( Yaa gooosey caaarnt)

...and what you up to Dufus, my old spunkbubble? ARE you still pissing off the Yanks? :-?

You could stick the job on Uship and see who bids the least :thumbsup) A 600 mile round trip will use a lot more than £60 of diesel

Cost £150 sovs, couriers have picked it up, I should have it by Tuesday. I've got a transit van so could have fitted it in there but it was lack of time more than anything else.
