Used someone contacted thru ebay called Hdts (Harold Dyke transport services) to move a sidecar. Good price as they combine jobs and they are based somewhere in the North. Other time I bought a bike from up north I stripped it down and carried it in the sidecar.

Where from, Where to, what is it and how desperate.

I'm in the SW but have relatives arround manchester and a visit is due so dragging the recovery trailer couldbe arranged

For one bike and 25 miles, I'd ask around and borrow a trailer.

Just take along a sockett set, some spanners and assorted basic tools, pull the thing to bigish bits, eg engine out, swing arm off, forks off etc and stick it in the boot. A Cavalier can fit a whole cb 250 in its boot appart from the front wheel. Could save you time and money in the long run.

If you live in the NW you have to know SOMEBODY with a pickup, I would give you my Nephews number but his F150 Harley drinks a bit!!!

I've gotta admitt I've resorted to that old ebay clicking to move a bike more than once soo easy, bike just commes down a ramp outside the door. Now I've got a sidecar with a ramp waiting for some new carbs before it takes over There's no helping me!

Cheaper than van hire, got my bike moved for 60 quid + mouse click and a nice bloke he even put the new bike in the garage for me!
