Stick them over your body like the Michelin man, then ride down (It's also the funnest)

Wrap 'em together with parcel tape, address 'em, take 'em to a POst shop and courier them via CourierPost. Should cost about 18 squid.

already did that with a front tyre, from Taka to Avondalé. Was funny, but not too comfy. Also laid rubber over the tank. wasn't too impressed.. wellyton would be a tad further, and with two..

You could take it to other couriers/carriers and pay cash over the counter I suppose but it would probably be dearer. Go the Post Office!
Sounds like your luck's run out there with Jimmy!? :whistle:

Well since it's my (new) station wagon, and I know nothing about this trip, believe me he will not be going!
BTW a friendly word of warning - if WT ever says "hey let's go for a drive into Newmarket" and then stops at a car yard to show you a car he saw in the Auto Trader - run for your life! Because Eddie the car salesman doesn't take no for an answer.

Id definately see if you can find a backpack that can handle and ride down. if you come off on to your back you would just bounce.
but I reckon 20squid is about right.
thats about $51.50
