    That's something I'd forget and wonder where the loose bolts came from, then have to put things apart to do it again.. and then twice more for whatever else I forgot...

    My newish / 2nd band van arrived last night , turns out is a super long wheel base hiace which is a huge bonus . We are taking guesses as to how many bodies / bikes we can fit in there

    Also looking at some ideas to jazz it up a bit

    Yeah, I'm NOT volunteering to help sand the finish for a chrome mirror-finish. You're on your own there.

    As for how many bikes you can fit, anything less than 6 and you can take the van back! ;-P
    A mate got a Sprinter, ex-police command centre, you can stand upright and probably fit 4 bikes across and 3 long! You could nearly put a mezzanine floor in!

    To wreck, or not to wreck? That is the question...
