Bike transport
Looks like I'm getting a nice Black Blackbird, just need it collecting.
Best quote so far is £90 from Willenhall (West Midlands) to Flookburgh (South Lake District). Anyone do it for less? Can't be ridden, needs new tyre. Would prefer someone who is fully insured! -- Drew.H |

I really can't think of a safer place to get used to a new bike. Plenty of lanes, no corners, no oncoming traffic. |

I've had a brain wave, why doesn't the OP just ride with an ilegal tyre FFS ? just don't fall off or get pulled... and make the apropriate allowances if it's wet. from what he says about being a bit nervous, I'd say a worn out tyre is less likely to kill him than falling off at high speed due to lack of care or practice |
