Yep Szender if that's a definite from you, then that's fine if you don't mind going halves on fuel and bridge toll. I'm not sure if Dynamite will be joining us, but I've got back seats if anyone wants a lift without a bike. Preferable but not essential to travel in the afternoon rather than evening. Also I haven't used the bike trailer before so each to supply there own ratchet straps, and be responsible for strapping down his own bike. PM me if you have any questions.

I picked up the 2 bike trailer from my friend Chris but the little 4.80/4.00-8" tyres are a bit perished and he doesn't have a spare. Does anyone else in the Exeter area have a 2 bike trailer to lend me and Simon/Szender. Otherwise it's a case of getting some new tyres for Chris’s trailer, or hiring one from Weston Trailers if they have one available at short notice.

we've had a look by eye and looks like if it will fit will be a very tight squeeze in?

Anyone know if you can fit 2 sports bikes into a 4'x8' floor/bed Wessex trailer?

get the tape out and measure your bikes, then go onto the manufacturers website and check out the internal dimensions on the van/trailer specifications

only prob with the trailer might be its length, so you might have to take the tailgate off

:D

Umm..ya about leaving things till the last minute, I'v just got into Heathrow this afternoon, rather jetlagged... nevertheless I've still gotta sort some form of transport out, if not then may just have to ride up. Don't gun me down for this as I do realise I'm being hopefully ambitious asking for a space for my bike and I, however, I can offer to organise a van tomorrow morning if need be for myself and another person, unfortunately I can't drive up though, so would be more than happy to take someone up with me sharing costs if they are happy to drive us up tomorrow afternoon- I'm really flexible on times so whatever...I'm in Newton Abbot in case any one was interested

Two bikes will fit in that van no sweat. I would imagine two bikes would fit in that trailer happily too, it isn't too much different in size to the Erde 2/3 bike trailers - they're about 2.2 x 1.25m :wink:

Szender & I have canceled the hire trailer from Western Towing, (who were surprisingly understanding) and gone in with Salty on a Jumbo Transit from Hertz Marsh Barton, booked for us by Kingy who works there.
