moving a bike from A to F

Post by eswen »

No licence yet for me, but have bought a bike. Currently looking at 2 options for getting my bike from the far side of Ringwood, to Melton.
Then most likely moving it from Melton to Hawthorn. Within a couple of weeks. :roll:
1. Get a trailer.
2. Get my brother to ride my bike from said far side to melton.

What would you recomend?? Ive thought about looking for some friends place to put it for a couple of weeks, closer to hawthorn or ringwood but have had no luck so far, plus I dont like to trust anyone else with my precious :?
Chocolate has many preservatives. Preservatives make you look younger. Therefore, you need to eat more chocolate.

Motorcycle movers are pretty cheap over here... Bout $50.00 to/from anywhere, and they have insurance too.

Yeah, don't get anyone to ride it unless you have insurance for it or at the very least a cover note. Have heard a story of one of my brothers mates who bought a new car and had it written off very shortly after driving it off the lot...uninsured. Ouch.

I had the same issue, I bought my first bike just after I got my license (within days) from Peter Stevens in the City and wasn't game to ride it out to Werribee in rush hour. :oops:

These guys dropped it off for me, and they work 24/7:

Pretty good, they do the deliveries for Peter Stevens. It is $50 though :shock:
