brining a motor bike back to the uk

You could try sending coseperlacasa  a PM  -  he seems to have a van that does the trip now and again.   Also jagodog says [in a previous posting] that he will be driving from Sardinia to UK at the end of Oct and returning in Nov. He has a transit size van

For those that know me I haven't suddenly turned into a biker.   Chris has used my "name" to submit the message.

Providing you can get insurance you don't need to bring it back for an MOT!
