Nope but to be honest a better system would surely be --dial a pickup Ie a van comes and picks ya and your beast up

I agree. Maybe meaning dial a rider if you are too drunk to get home as opposed to if you are broken down. Personally, I wouldn't be too keen on letting someone I didn't know jump on my bike. But maybe that's just me?

I used to work for dial-a-driver in Wellington, we provided a bike pickup service using >25 year old/fully licenced etc etc riders. It wasn't advertised because they weren't always rostered on.

Taxi trucks?
If they are still around?
Or find a bike shop you can leave it for the night...
Dunno if I would trust a car park all night

Haha. You wouldn't even let "God" sit on your bike!

Fair enough too.

Well, as a rider I would have to be totally pissed anyway to be a pillion with any rider. :)

Once you get to know a few more bikers you will find someone that you trust to ide it for you. On the other hand, shit happens, and would you be prepared to put a friendship at risk with them wrecking your bike? Not a nice thought, but no one is invincible.

I think the bike is more likely to get scratched putting it in a van than being ridden carefully.

I'll say. A drunk pillion isn't really a great idea.

Hmmmm, dial a van would be great, a taxi service with room to take a bike or two, might be something in that........

i wouldnt even let some random ride my b120 commuter bike, let alone something decent, the van is a much better idea

I would rather not drink than have someone else on my ride.
