So ... you want someone to take your bike from one place to another, covering about 1300 miles in the process, they need to pay the for the fuel, tolls, accommodation and then for the return journey to wherever they come from ... and you expect them to MOT the bike for you as well (but you'll pay for it).

You also forgot to mention that they'd need their own insurance to be able to ride your bike, oh and the fact that it'd probably be their insurance which pays out if they were involved in an accident which was their fault ... unless of course you added them as a rider to your policy.

Think I'll give it a miss, I'd rather spend my money on my own journey, on my own bike ... a classic GSX1400 or even a classic 1200 Bandit!

Aah, just realised that you joined today and the picture of the bike is outside of a dealers ... now I could be wrong, but are you by any chance a dealer who has just sold the bike to a customer who lives in Ibizia?

In fact, I could do with a holiday, but with a small change to your list ... you pay for the insurance, fuel, ferry tickets, accommodation, food and my trip home.

My experience ... 38 years on a full licence, riding everything from a 125 upto a 1400, riding throughout the year in sun, rain, snow and ice. I also did my own trip around Europe a few years back, from Scotland to England, then France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Italy and Switzerland.

If you want to pay for my trip down to London, and you meet my expectations, then I could be persuaded to partake in your sun-drenched adventure.

Apologies, not sure my post warrants that aggressiveness.
If you are not interested just ignore...

My offer is for riders who may not have a bike of their own or do not want to ride all the way back home.
And no I am not a dealer, I have owned the bike for the past 4 years.

How long would we have use of the bike for on arrival?

Does the MOT have to be done in London?

Why bother with the MOT when it's going abroad.

You're right, but it was difficult to express more aggressiveness online

You can use the bike as long as you want on arrival. I just need it by the 22nd of June.

MOT can be done anywhere I guess. Just that the bike is stored in London.
