Sold my 125 just now to someone from Brighton, he drove up in his taxi. The bloke took the luggage rack and front wheel off, folded the seats down, and stuffed the bike in the back Surprised

I always wondered if you could fit a bike in the back of a black cab.

Seems an ideal vehicle to me if you can, diesel engine, leafspring suspension, turns in its own length, seats seven with a big boot and the engine lasts forever. They also have built-in ramps and tie-downs for wheelchair passengers (or your bike?)

I sold the ER5 to a chap in Yorkshire.

He picked it up in a Toyota people carrier. Front wheel/forks off and in it went!

MY RX50 came true crosser style, diagonally across the back of a pickup truck Laughing

I once phoned daddy's recovery service for the varadero, he turned up with a horse box and two bales of straw, bike was put in gear, and wedged between two bales for the 2 mile distance to home..
so near yet so far

The NSR has been in the same van twice... once being picked up in mint condition, and more recently, to get it home from the accident. Nice.

My mates DT50 used to be forever breaking down... one time he couldn't get it started at college, so he got his old man to come down in a tractor with a front bucket full of hay, put the bike in the bucket with the hay, and drove it back to his house like that Laughing

Makes me wish I had a crosser!

My ER5 was picked up on the back of a jeep on a crosser rack. On a rack, designed for a crosser.
