Suggestions for Transport of Car & Motorbike?
Discussion
Hi All,
Need to get a large car (5m, close to 2 tons) and a motorcycle moved from London (South Ruislip) down to Topsham near Exeter. Can find plenty of places that'll do one or the other, or bill for two jobs, but wondering if anyone has an idea of how to get them both done at once - mostly because I think I'll need to be at the pick-up and the drop off myself, so doing it once would make life easier.
They're both unregistered (imports) and while they're both perfectly safe, it feels like the pre-booked MOT then home might be a bit of a stretch?

If you need to be at the pickup and drop-off, why not hire or borrow a trailer which can carry the bike and make your journey more productive? A 2 tonne big car would be beyond what you could trailer behind most cars, but a transporting the bike yourself won't have that problem.
Alternatively, if you don't have a towbar, you could hire a van to carry the bike in and do the same thing.

I did look into that, but I passed my test in '99 which means I'm not covered for driving larger vehicles, and the trailer + car + towcar would be over that limit. Have a Ford Galaxy that the bike *may* fit in, but not sure my wife would be to impressed. No tow hitch on either of my current cars annoyingly.
