Bloody good effort!

How much of a struggle was getting it up there?

None really, clutch the bike up the ramp, little set of steps to step up the last bit and onto the truck bed.it's a one man job really.

Good effort...you'd have struggled with this bad boy my friend picked up the other day..

He had 3 bikes to pick up from the same owner which isnt normally a problem but after loading the chopper, that was it!

Congrats! You must be fairly local if you are around the Poole/Sailsbury way.

Give me a shout if you fancy a spin thumbup
Where abouts are you? I will give you a shout once I've had a bit more time to get to know the bike. I got in 115 miles or so over the weekend as it ended up being sunny here yesterday.

I live South Somerset/North Dorset border. Half way between Yeovil and Shaftesbury!

Sure thing, my bike has plenty of work coming up so might not be out on weekends for a little while! It'll be spent at work sorting the bloody thing

Oh and a picture, this is from my Scotland tour in September of last year. I want to go back so badly!

It's a 2002 Electrolux twin tub spinner/Drier. What you can see is the exhaust vent for the hot gases when it's on a spin cycle.

(No, its not a turbo)
