kawdolph needs help newquay

Ok, this is my thinking at the moment.

The hotel is OK with the bike at the moment. Ideally it should be secured somehow, but we'll have to assume it'll be ok for the time being.

If the bike is stored somewhere by a member of this forum, John will have to fly back when he's better, get the bike and ride it home. I personally think he should rest and not have to worry about the bike.

Alternatively, we can arrange to have the bike shipped back to Ireland directly. Rather than storing it somewhere and then having it shipped, why not get the courier company to pick the bike up direct and ship it.

Charlie, does your van have the capability to shift a bike (tie down points, ramp etc)? I don't think its a good idea to drive overnight either ....

By not driving from Scotland to Newquay overnight and giving yourself a heart attack !!   You work hard enough 

Was looking forward to fish and chips on a over night Belfry stop 

your mates bolt hole could be an option

Well he's offered to pick up aswell, and if theres anyone id trust riding my bikes , its him......

Do we know what John's insurance company's stance is on this? Does John have cover for the bike to be repatriated back to Ireland in the event of illness?

I was thinking of going straight down the M74 / M6 / M5 with an over night stop at The Belfry.

The van is more than able to carry the bike (Transit 140-350 MWB Hi-Roof) the product I sell weighs between 30kgs to 250kgs / unit  so how many tie downs would you like ? 

I will need to improvise a ramp but that is not the end of the world.

The offer of help is there ....................but lets see what cover John has before we spring into action.

I await your cunning plan and  instructions Asif

Adelaide insurance - does that provide any kind of repatriation cover?

sorry to here this news, make a speedy recover John. all the best from Colin & Claire. I don't know if I can be off any help but I have a trailer built to carry my GTR. don't forget I'm in Norfolk, if enough people have a tow bar on their cars we could do a relay.

Sorry to hear this John, hope you get well soon.

@Caroline/John, I am about 3 hours from Newquay, on the Wiltshire/Glos border. I would be happy to go down on the train, ride it back to mine (on my insurance), and store it here in my garage until you get well enough to come and get it. I can pick you up from Bristol airport.

I can also borrow a friend's van to go and fetch it, but I think the GTR may be too high to fit into a normal roof Renault Traffic. I will check heights.

It's another option.

Martin.

I'm going to ring John shortly and go through the options with him.
