Bike Transport...

  1. Evening

    I'm looking for someone (reputable!) to move a bike for me, Bury St Edmunds area. Anyone got any recommendations?

    Thanks

  3. Thanks, I've contacted Karl (on the recommendation of said Ducati specialist, and where I need the bike transporting to!) but his van's in for repairs ATM...

  4. I’ve used these. Very happy with service and price.

  5. Thanks for that, I wonder if they can be competitive in moving a bike from Suffolk to Essex - Manchester is rather a long way...
     
  6. What about hiring a van - DIY approach?

    Been there, done that, bad experience (used a plank to get my 916 into a Transit many years ago - don't ask!). Besides, I don't have a ramp or any tie-downs.
     
  8. Try Shiply couriers, I've used them 3 times now, excellent service each time and take care of the bikes they move.
     
  9. I have used A2B motorcycle movers several times and no problems at all, turn up when they say and have also bought boxes of spares at the same time for no additional costs
     
  10. Quick update - I ended up using Karl (Pegasus Motorcycle Transport) to get my bike to and from Glen at Moto-V. Excellent service, seems competitive on price. Would definitely recommend.

  11. Excellent. I'm suffolk too so will probably use him soon to get the bike to Glen :upyeah:
     
  12. I missed this thread but asked Geoff Baines for a recommendation and he gave me RJF Motorcycle Logistics:

    https://www.rjflogistics.co.uk/

    I've just used him (Rob) to move three bikes (plus paddock stands and a couple of boxes) and it was both a first-class and a very affordable experience. The job before mine that day was moving Davey Todd's BSB bike to the NEC so I was confident I was in good hands. He covers all of UK. 5.0 from 150 Google reviews. Two thumbs up.
