After months of searching I've found my perfect motorbike, only problem is that it has not MOT or tax and needs transporting.

A return trip leaving from Trowbridge, Wiltshire to St Austell, Cornwall.

I would pay fuel costs and expenses - I.e. a Coffee/McDonalds!

Would greatly appreciate help
Alex

Do you have a car with a towbar and hire a bike trailer?

Have a look at the classifieds. In the non-motoring section there is car transportation. I used SJ to transport my bike from Dorset to Wiltshire. Top service and very professional.

I don't have a tow bar unfortunately, otherwise that would be a good option, thanks anyway for the suggestion

You want a random someone to commit to 350 miles and 8 hours of driving on the weekend before Christmas... for a Big Mac?!

'Tis the season of goodwill! I admit this is a lot to ask, especially given the timing. And also unlikely, but I thought it was worth a shot...

Why don't you hire a van and buy a pack of rachet straps job done.

I've tried that but you cant hire if your under the age of 25 (21). My friend with a van has pulled through so we're all good now. Leaving in an hour :-D

Thanks for everyone's suggestions.

The A38 is shut between Exeter and Bodmin due to flooding.
