Angry Bike Transportation Pickle

Anyone know any reliable bike-transport companies...? picking up my new steed on Fri and the missus has kindly highlighted that she doesn't want to drive back on her todd - which leaves one option. Get it picked up and delivered.

Thanks in advance.

currently exploring getting hold of the missus's mother as a drivers mate - but looking for a back-up plan if the drivers mate thing goes south.

most of my chelmsford buddies at work on the fri. unable to collect on the Sat as I have to go to a wedding.

i've been officially warned that if i miss the wedding 'a' nut will be for sale on ebay! lol

Pick a bike move service at random off ebay? Most will pick up a bike and deliver anywhere in the country for £100 or thereabout ... surely not far off the petrol cost these days, and less hassle with the missus!

My mate uses them all the time, so if you need a recommendation just let me know.

I have used a few but the best so far is Lee Costello Transport- top guy, really good prices only cost me £130 to move my 998S from Scottish Borders to Basingstoke. He loves his dukes! email him here and tell him Jack Nash (998S) rec. him. Ta!

info@leecostellotransport.co.uk

I can send you his mobile number if you want

Cool, yes please... I am having cr@p luck in finding a transport company who has actually delivered bikes, lots of sofa's and other junk - just no bikes. Little concerned that it won't be secured down to anything.

subscriped to 'shiply' and 'anyvans' - all rubbbish so far
