    I have a number i took off the side of a van belonging to a company that specialises in motorcycle recovery... just in case I ever needed it.

    ...thankfully I haven't (so obviously I can't say if they are any good)

    I'll PM you their contact number.


    But since its not an emergency... if you can, rent a van (a transit or something), run the bike up a plank into the back of the van. Strap her down if you can otherwise tape the brake lever closed, put it on the side stand, put her in first gear and pad all around her with cushions, bubble wrap, toilet rolls, puppys and so on.

    Sorry Im a bit too far away to know who does pickups in Dublin. Idve thought most shops would have to do a certain amount of it anyway. (We do)

    :(

    just had a chat with steff in scotts bikes.
    not worth the money to fix it up.
    anyone want a virago 125 that needs about 6-700 euros work? :D

    will take offers.
