A while back I put up my GN400 for sale and very quickly .CHRIS. asked for it.

Great I thought that was quick and after a couple of PM's arranged for him to pick it up using a trailer as the bike is partly stripped

Unfortunately this fell through as he had a problem getting the trailer so re arranged for today.

so far so good Very Happy

sitting waiting for him today get a call to say he had arrived and was sitting outside my gate
nip out to let him in to be confronted by this

first thought was "Erm where's the trailer?"

.CHRIS. then tells me the idea is to dismantle the bike and put it inside the Moggy!!! Shocked

well 2 hours later the engine is out the front end is off and the wheels are off and its in!!

that turned what was going to be a boring afternoon into a fun afternoon and it's quite amazing how much space there is in a 4 door moggy 1000 Laughing

Definately easier to get the GN into the moggy and we had room to spare Razz

Reminds me of the time I tried to carry a Z400 twin in the back of my old Citroen Dyane. We got it in ok, but the first bump we went over the car nearly snapped in two...

I did the same thing for my other GN400 last year, only that time I didn't take the engine out of the frame. About 5 years ago I put a Jawa 350 into the back of a 2-door moggy - thought I'd never get it out at the other end!
