Dealing with a bloke called Alan. Going the same route as you as well. The bike is still under BMW warranty until June (it's a 10) so extra piece of mind there.

BTW - I take it you had to check a bag on or did you wear you gear and bring your lid onto the plane. Stupid question I know but I've got to check

Right. Bike looks immaculate and is still under BMW warranty (it's a June '10). She has 10k miles on here. I think I'm pretty safe here. I've sent off about 10 questions to the dealer and waiting response so will hopefully be paying the deposit today. Then can organise flight and ferry for next week

Yeah - I'll put a bag through. Looks like I can get an Aer Lingus flight for about €30 so the extra cost won't kill me!
