I cannot ride it, but the bike can be ridden. The problem is me, not the bike: no accident, no damage, MOT, regularly insured - although a 3rd party rider wouldn’t be covered directly – AFAIK it’s legal to get a mate to ride it, but, in case of an accident, my insurer would then go after me to recover the costs.
Anyway, I have a couple of friends I could ask, but I’d rather not (regardless of insurance) if I can find a recovery van that doesn’t charge insane rates – prices seem to vary between £50 and £80. I’d expect the van to drive me, too, so the real price would, in fact, be lower, because, for a number of reasons I won’t go into here, I’d still need to take a minicab myself on the same route (ca. £20), even if a mate rode my bike. |

In the end I called this guy: https://www.bikermedics.com/
Nice chap, I'd recommend him.
A BCFer also offered a lift, but the time just didn't work. |
