    Hi, I am thinking of working as a motorbike courier in Dublin. I have a full motorbike licence and have driven a small delivery van for a company for the last 2 years. I was earning 19K a year which is why I left. (This plus the boredom.) Hence I have a good knowledge of Dublin city and county. I have haz-chem training from a previous van courier job.

    What insurance do I need? How much is specific courier insurance gonna cost? What can I expect to earn per week? What does mileage work mean? Should I buy a top box? What is the biggest item couriers can carry on the bike? what can i expect?

    thanks

    I'm not going to advise you on any of that you just asked - I'm only going to say 2 things:

    1. Dont do it,it's a f*cking nightmare.
    2. Go to college and get a diploma or something similar
