Have we ever UR'd a whole bike?

Train from MK to Penrith is 3 1/2 hours. Do the hand over is about an
hour, then ride back is about 5 hours to Timo's, then train home from
there is another 2 hours. A day at the most.

 

Oh, right, I was envisaging driving with a van or trailer.

 

Penrith is a lot easier to get to - train to Penrith from here is 5 1/2
hours. To Seascale (nearest station to the bike) it's about 8 hours.

 

Why the **** would you tow a trailer all the way up there and then all
the way back when the bike is capable of running under its own pow...
Ah... it's a BMW - it all becomes clear now

 

Is Mr Bonwick still working out of Barrow in Furness on occasion?
That's just up the road from Seascale

 

Nice sidestep, Mr B.

 

I didn't know the bike was on the west coast of Cumbria. Seascale is
where that power station is situated, and I thought if Andy was working
there then maybe he might be able to give a lift to the person
collecting the bike. At least the ride back is a little shorter than
from Penrith as you join the M6 at jct 37 not 40.

 

.... and there's the inevitable knock-on.

 

Yes, by train and motorway.

 

Got some nice sausages in the moment as well

That would be "jugs"

Just out of interest, whereabouts in Cumbria?

 

Well, if you're up for it I'd be happy for you to do this. I promise I
won't try to take photos of you on a BMW, either. Well, maybe one or
two...

 

I have a black visor.

Count me in. If you win the auction drop me a line and I'll make myself
available.

 

Will do, your offer is much appreciated.

 

The middle f nowhere, of course, can't you read ?

England's third-largest (I'm sure it used to be second, did
Lincolnshire grow or something?) but eighth-least populated county
contains a lot of places which could be considered "the middle of
nowhere". However, now I know it's Seascale, which is more like out on
the west coast of nowhere, about an hour from me.

 

I thought you were divesting yourself of surplus motorcycles?

 

We're not talking about luggage or similar here, but a rather more
complicated bolt on that tends to cost rather a lot of money to make.

 

Yes. So I thought, too.

 

It's OK Timo. You can say the word without us all sniggering [1]
