Go to Asda or any other big supermarket to get a few big cardboard boxes. You will need them to put the bits of bike in at some point during the season. Its far easier to transport it home this way.

Bike for sale. One careful owner.

Thanks for all the advice, even Crankers!

I'm off to Cartagena in jan on the bike. Will see how she goes then and consider the dyno stuff after.

Lol I remember that well, it cost me a win as I thought they had stopped it, Kev P slipped past for the Win with me second, then they did stop it, Bugger.

Any tips for me next year please. Putting it into Gerrards flat does take some bottle, but it is doable.
