need a helping hand! well a man with a van or a trailer hahah!


*not sure if this is right place to post, please re locate if not*

 

i will be putting a deposit down and a new bike today, only troule is, its in cornwall, my family are away on holiday (my usual way of collecting bikes is my dad borrows neighbours van) so ive text my neighbur asking if he would do it for me and still awaiting a reply, the shop selling the bike would sort out deliver but it will be £100 + VAT on top of what im paying for the bike (as its not theirs they are selling for a customer) so if anyone has a van or trailer and would like to do a massive favour! much appreciated! ill pay for fuel and a little for your time! let me know your rates and cheapest wins lol!

 

thanks.

Do you have a car with a towbar?

If you borrowed a trailer, would you be OK to tow it?

Knocking on the neighbours door seems the easiest solution? Where in Cornwall is it?

Hi Wanzey,

Having recently collected my own CRF, I'd beinterested to know your thoughts on it - are you going to Haccadown? Maybe I'll see you there?

Well I will have a very similar red bike, but will be wearing a yellow jacket & helmet (or possibly just armour if it's warm) & cammo trousers, and a slinky little number by Versace.
