Bike storage in Essex - LOFOS PLEASE READ!
« on: 26 January 2014, 11:39:04 pm »
Is there anyone in Essex (or nearby) who could store a non-running Fazer for me for a few months? I've found an absolute hound on Ebay (with thanks to Bigsteve), and I need a place to put it until I can get it back to France as a project bike.

Cheers!

Christo

That's getting fixed up in Chatteris. But I want another Fazer, and this one is stupid cheap. OK, it needs a lot of work, but I have time enough. Any ideas? It's a bit of a state ATM.

I couldn't find the bike you are referring to

No idea on storage I'm afraid... could rent one of those single garages you find on housing estates? Seen them for as little as £20 pw

Thanks! Going to PM the seller, see what can be done (how fast he wants it gone, and if he can deliver!)

Chris, I've got a lock-up that I'm sure I can squeeze another bike into. It is in Wickford. PM me if this suits you.
If it's not too far away from me I've got a trailer that will accomadate a boxeye, did this recently for my future son-in-law.

I've got room but it'd be outside.  I'm also miles outside London, out towards Colchester.

Can I just take a minute to say how awesome this forum is  8)

So many offers of help and we're still on page one, Keep up the good work team!

Chris

PS, I'd offer space in my shed but I'm a bit out of the way... then a 14 hour over night ferry... then a bit more out the way...  ;)

It wouldn't be fun if it was easy, I just wish it wasn't this much fun.

Thanks all for the offers!

Work decided to throw me a curve ball, so I'm driving further than I was expecting this week, and couldn't justify the expense of taht bike. Plus, it was very, very tatty - more money than it was worth to fix up.

Thanks though to all those who offered space! I owe you a beer!  :thumbup
