is it a tight fit?

A suzuki gs1000e in the back of a peugeot 406 estate - with the wheels
and handlebars removed? Can't afford towbar&trailer/rental and it's
550 miles away I can only go this bank hol w/e - no time to get mot.


I reckon it will - just. But has anybody tried something so stupid?

 

I got an MZ in the back.of an old Astra hatchback - it was tight and an
MZ is a lot smaller than a GS.

If the bloody thing runs just ride it. You don't need an MOT to ride a
bike.

 

If you try, can you video it?

I suspect several comedy moments as you try to cram 200+ kgs of bike
through a relatively small tailgate.

 

hmm - i admire your optimism. but this is me and i'm guaranteed to get
pulled if it's not legal - there's no tax disc either. But it is damn
annoying as the bike is fine.

 

Get it insured and book an MOT somewhere enroute between source and
destination.

Pass or fail, you will be OK, unless it fails on anything dangerous.

 

that's brilliant. TY. why didn't i think of that? ok i'll need to miss
a day's work but i can do that.


<off to look up Inverness MOT testers>

 

Sorry to disappoint but i'm not going to try - had a mate who once took
a kdm home bungeed to the back of another kdm so i thought i might be ok
with an estate car. In time i reckon even i might have found that video
funny tho'

No problem, as you just take the wheels off and shove it in. You'll
never get the smell of petrol out of the car mind. I did it with a BSA
Bantam shoved in the back of a Sierra a few years ago.

Now, 11 storage heaters, compete with bricks in the back of a Passat
estate all the way from Bolton, now that's loaded.

I also got a Yamaha SR250 in the back of a Mk4 Golf hatchback by
removng the front wheel and forks, and another SR250 in the back of the
Ford Maverick. Many years ago I ran around for 3 months with a complete
Ducati 160 Monza Junior in bits in the boot of my Vauxhall Magnum Coupe
because I had nowhere else to store it.

 

Nigel got a V-Max in the back of a Fiesta, iirc.

 

Ooh... that's low.....

You ****.

 

I once got a CX500 and a 250LC in the back of a Marina. **** that was
scary to drive.

 

I drove a Marina once, yep, it was scary.
