Is that a bicycle rack? If so, isn't even a lightweight TTR250 is going
to overload it?

Also, by my reckoning, it's gonna cost you ukp100 in petrol alone. Why
don't you enquire of one of those bike delivery firms that advertise on
Ebay? even if they charge 150 quid, I think it's a better option.

I really, really hope they aren't serious questions...

Thanks for the reply, don't worry, it's a proper motocross/trail bike rack,
best thing I ever bought for jaunting around with the bike when you don't
have somewhere to keep a trailer!

I did a wee bit of investigation on delivery, but most of these are
something like £1/mile - and of course I don't really want to buy any bike
unseen - even if it's at the other end of the country!

Just don't let plod see you, if it's one that bolts to the towbar.

Yes Mike, the 'phone number would be handy, even as a back up.

Either post it here or remove AT from email to reply directly.

I am waiting to find out when the guy is available before I ask anyone to
nip round.

Just so there's no confusion, it's a Yamaha TTR250 Open Enduro (road going
fancy Trail bike to you & me!)

Thanks for the replies & to the guys willing to have a look.
