Bike transportation

Hi all, any ideas on how best to get a bike from Southampton to
Burton-upon-Trent economically? Local (to the bike) bike shop wants £1 per
mile, that's £360!

Cheers

Realistic: Get a train/coach down, ride it back.
Best possible: Get a willing but ultimately naive mate to lend you his
car and bike trailer.

 

ride it

 

It's only 190 miles. That's about £15 in petrol for the bike I
suppose...

Get a train down and ride it back up?
Get a lift from the rife and ride the bike back up?

I found it cheaper to fly with SleazyJet when I bought Colin's
Thunderace and then Hog's Gixer. Colin's was a simple flight from Luton
to Newcastle and ride home the same day, Hog's was a flight out, a night
in Holywood oggling the local high quality totty, then a ride back via
the Dublin Port/Holyhead ferry. The flight was much quicker than the
train too.

 

Is that the Burton Upon Trent next to Edinburgh?

152.4, according to the RAC.

 

A) Take the train there.

B) Hire a van and collect it.

C) Ask them to take it to pieces and post it a part at a time.

D) Invent a teleport machine.

E) Look in the Southampton yellow pages under "Really big catapults"

F) Simply rename Southampton to Burton-upon-Trent.

 

191 according to AutoRoute - but I selected the fastest route, not the
shortest.

Don't fleabay people keep advertising bike transport under the
motorbike auctions section? Isn't it a £50 flat rate anywhere in the
uk for delivery?

How to find one: Look at the Motorcycles category, then scroll down
until you find a picture of a van.

It's quite simple really....
