Trailer required.

[VK6TVA]

Hi everyone, does anyone on PSB have a trailer that I could hire to get my new bike. I just bought a 1800 Goldwing and need to collect it from Kaloorlie back to Perth. I have tried a couple of bike movers and one wanted to add another $105 after I paid for the quote they gave me. I was hoping to collect the bike next weekend 1st or 2nd November. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Yep, I've got one. . . it's been extended for larger bikes, the Goldwing should fit.
I'm happy to let you use if for a $25 donation to my favourite childerens charity.
It's in Bibra Lake, PM me if interested

Ok so how ho I PM you, I would like to take you up on your offer. Does it have ramp and front wheel support etc. Donation not a problem just thankful for your help...

Make sure it's insured and I'll ride the thing back for ya

Why not get the Prospector train out there and just ride the thing back?

No offence intended to PSB's generosity, and the OP's needs
but I pay $100 trailer hire every time I take the car to the track and back for the weekend. (Regularly)
its normally $100 per day but the shop cuts me a deal.

I bought my GL1800 from bunbury, caught the train there and rode it back, nice ride to get to know your new bike. bit further I know but still its what those bikes are made for.

Is that for a dedicated bike trailer? Because all the hire trailers (cage) on gumtree are $40ish per day.

we got a bike trailer at home and the middle lane has been made wider and longer to fit a goldwing on it. ill ask my dad if u can borrow it if you like?

Just curious, if it costs you $100 PER WEEKEND, why don't you just buy your own? You'd save a fortune if this is one of your hobby's........

With that attitude, you do NOT go to gym, you have a home gym.

*yawn*... It was a legitimate question. In MY opinion, yes I felt the need to spell this out, if you have a hobby, or something you're genuinely interested in, that you make the time for on a regular basis, you do what you can to minimise the cost & time & effort required to partake in it.

I dunno, maybe I'm fucked in the head, which is the inference I take from your post, maybe I'm a cheap cunt ~shrug~ who cares, or perhaps a cost effective solution for the long term is a better option?

Sorry to hijack the thread.........

I just found a stick, and it had a 'poke that with this' note on it.

[Falcore]

Well several factors could be at play.....

Room to store a trailer comes to mind.

Plus this way maintenance and rego isn't your problem.


But anyway back to the op's question. Seriously consider catching the train or buss out and ride it back. Just be wary of bike trailers and this sort of bike. A lot of bike trailers aren't good at carrying much more weight than your standard bike.
