Hey guys,
I'm wondering if someone with easy access to a Rd could help me out.
My situation is, I'm in Cornwall and my bike is in Sheffield. I want her down here now she's back running plus the roads are hellish in summer down here so a bike would Be more than ideal.
I have no acces to a trailer/towbar van or lorry so I figure I can disassemble her and transport her in my car. It's fairly big (2.2 civic) but it would be better if I knew some measurments.
Realistically how long could the frame be brought down too? Say if forks, headstock, swing arms and wheels were removed.
Has anyone on here done this and if so what car did you use?
I will be removing the seats so even more room.
Any help appreciated!
Thanks Dan.

Cheers Raven.
What mark fez was it do you know? I used to have a Mk 6 fez so can imagine the size inside.
Did you have to remove anything from the bike like forks or swing arm?

was a 2008 fiesta, the frame was one piece including swing arm and rear sub. forks off panels off just make sure you have plenty of padding.

well put it this way i have put a ypvs 350 in the back of my old Fiet Uno so i cant se it being a problem just drop the front end of and back wheel and it will go in with the back seats down and the pasenger seat forward .
Hell at 1 time i put 2 125 in then back but they were brakers not nice ones .

I'll take the rear seats out and see about the front passenger one. Jet wash her down and see how it goes from there. |
