John's got a ZZR1400.........................

didn't realise who you meant being a newbie till this post get well soon john

Been on the phone to John

He's waiting for a call from a company via his insurance to recover the bike (not sure about the cost yet). So we may still have to help John out with recovery of the bike. Charlie/Ant/Martin - best be on standby 

The next is to help John get to his ferry. His ticket is from Holyhead, and its a massive 10 hour train journey to get there with 4 changes. Not the type of journey that is advisable given his current condition. What's the nearest ferry port to Ireland bearing in mind John is in Newquay, Cornwall? Going to Penbroke is also a 9 hours train journey :(

I don't think its advisable to fly after a heart attack either, otherwise a plane would have sufficed.

Just seen this as stoketim told me - happy to help in any way required either with getting bike or John back. Happy to take car down, pick up and take him back to Ireland if needed. Holyhead is a couple of hours from me (Stoke on Trent).

If needed just let me know.

Hi Neil,

John is currently in Newquay, Cornwall and the trip for you to Holyhead will be over 11 hours.

Maybe we can look at doing a relay as Colin suggested - maybe Martin picks up and Neil does the remainder of the journey?

[Charlie747]

I know this sounds bad but could we relay John by car to the ferry ?

My concern is that Limerick is the other side of the country and we need to minimise John walking with luggage around the ferry and port

OK Asif you beat me to the posting

There's a train from Newquay to Swansea (7 hr journey time though), and then a ferry to Cork

Newquay airport is very small alas, and I think a flight from there is likely to be many hours with a change. Getting him to Holyhead, and his already booked ferry, is going to be a monster journey too.

I could pick John, and his bike up from Newquay, and take him to Bristol airport where he would have a better flight choice. I could then take his bike home and store it for him.

I would need a little time to arrange all this, and borrow my friend's van, but may be an option.

Asif, feel free to give John, or his family, my mobile number if they want to do it this way.

I don't think there is a ferry from Swansea any more.

This is a long shot but here goes.

I am away all weekend with the lads up Norf but back to Oxford late sunday, if someone can arrange for John to get to Oxford I can drive him up to Holyhead or wherever he needs to go on Monday as I am off work.

Obviously he needs to sort his ticket and collection the other side.

07759 210191 gets me but as I say I will be on my bike all day Friday, Saturday and Sunday so text me with your name and I can call back.
