Hi, being able to find anything suitable locally I am looking at buying a TTR from Devon. Does anyone know of a motorcycle collection service they could recommend or is anyone coming up from Devon to Derbyshire by van this week?
Cheers Jak

Re: Motorcycle collection service?
No and no, but if push came to shove you could ride it back up: the A38 would take you most of the way without going on the motorway. Be an OK trip in nice weather.
I've ridden a DR350S, with luggage, from Peterborough to West Devon in one hit (apart from fuel stops). It was raining and I was going into a headwind. That poor little bike did 35 mpg....about double its normal fuel consumption.

Re: Motorcycle collection service?
I used Motorcycle Delivery UK in Goldthorpe to bring the Serow I bought from Dorset to Lancs £200, but get a few quotes as I got 3 & they ranged from £150-£300.
***just like Britney Spears oops I did it again……sold the Scrambler & as of now there may not be a replacement***

I think these guys are in that line

national service according to the website, I've not used them so can't recommend them but I see their vans around, might be worth a call if you're not sorted already

I've always used shiply, its a random courier service but has always been fast, reliable and extremely cheap.
And now, Harry, let us step out into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure.
