Planning a UK Visit

[Panjandrum]

I am planning a visit to UK in April / May next year. Primary purpose is to meet my first grand-child, who is due in a few weeks.

 

We will be staying in Midhurst, Sussex, and Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire areas. Can anyone point me to a place where I could rent a motorcycle (and helmets) for a few days while we are there? I would love to ride to Bath, Bristol, and Cornwall.

 

Thanks for any suggestions!

Had a look on line here in the UK and came up with some options below.

First run through did not throw anything up in the area you are staying, but let me know if these don't work out for you and I'll try again.

Cheers

Why don't you ask these guys:

Maybe someone there would be interested in a time swap of use of their m/c while you are in the UK for use of yours while they visit north America sometime in the future?

 

Hope this is of interest.

Yes, the UK Venture club has just started up again. I'm a member and they may well be able to help with a swap/hire option. Definitely worth contacting.
