CB160 / Bike Courier

[AshimotoK0]

My mate Jim from Beverley just won this CB160  (had one myself in '75  ..got the T shirt .. deffo won't be getting another one    )

Wonder if Laverda Dave was bidding too?

The cheapest quote he has had for a courier from Portsmouth to Beverley (E.Yorks) is £240 .. is that the going rate?

Another 160 in the HJ PUGH auction

Transport sounds about right

He could try A2B

No, I didn't bid Ash, I didn't even know it was for sale, never mind . The one on Pugh's site looks a bit rough especially with the tin worm in the side panel, how did that happen, they are made from pretty thick steel? I can't get another bike, I'm trying to make room in the garage and had to sell my lovely CB250rsa two weeks ago after 22 years of ownership and a restoration :'(. I still need to really get rid of one more bike, the dealer who bought the 250 had his eye on the 350 Morini Sport (no, not for sale) my 100% genuine 400/4 (no, not for sale). Once I finish the Triton that is becoming an even bigger pia thanks to a porous cylinder head and get it off the bike lift I can then get the 'Rat 400/4' bike on the lift and stripped down to give me some room. Of course the answer is I need to move to a smaller house with a bigger garage

That price for transport isabout right. He could try Chas Mortimer who I have used a couple of times and they are very good. If he isn't in a hurry to get it Chas will collect it when he is the area and store it until he is coming up north with another delivery. Works out a lot cheaper.
I could of said that is very expensive and rather then incur all the transportation cost he could sell the bike to me

Chas Mortimer - ex racer??

[Arch stanton]

Mortimer has gone bust. Allegedly.

Chas was still operating last week 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Edit.... I didn't use him last week but an acquaintance said they had used his company.

Yep, that's him. If his company has gone bust that would be a great shame, they are really good, have excellent communication and will do their best to keep the transportation cost down.

It would be a great shame, that's for sure.

240 seems ok to me for that distance. Although tbf, anyone who visits Beverley should have to pay for the privilege. Go Nellies!
