Transport Puzzle
 

This is a request for help - ideas, rather than a favour, though. I'll figure it out eventually, but maybe someone will have a brainwave!

I have some (large) bike bits that I need to pick up from Peterborough, more than can be carried on a motorcycle (or four). I don't drive one of them four-wheeled motorbikes with the fully-enclosed seats, so I am going to have to rely on someone doing me a big, big favour. I live in West Sussex, you see, so from Peterborough, that's a fair old trip - it's a lot to ask of someone.
Couriering the parts is not an option as the seller does not wish to risk it (and neither do I really). There's someone at my work who might help me out, but maybe not ... have to wait and see.

The question: how would you solve this problem?
One of the more entertaining ideas we had at work was to ask DSC members to pick the bits up and deliver them somewhere local to them, but gradually closer and closer to home - a DSC relay race, if you like.
"The bits have reached Surrey, only another four weeks to go now I reckon!". Could be fun though ... tracking progress through the Message Board. :D

Anyone have a better idea? Anyone have a worse idea?
Anyone have a freight hauling company?
Enjoy!
:lol:

speak to madmav!!

Good thinking, Tim. A u2u is on its way to madmav as we speak.
Thanks!

Anyone heard from madmav recently? He hasn't been "active" on the Message Board since 15 August according to his profile.

Has he got a business telephone number I can reach him on? Just in case email and u2u doesn't work. Thanks anyone!

Loz, Madmav is in the buisness directory under Bikerite.


Hope you get it sorted, Gordy.

Cheers, Gordy. Getting there hopefully!

if you go back to the relay idea i can do a stint

Cheers, Glyn, it may come to that!
