but its fit for purpose at minimum effort

i might be coming back from norfolk with only one bike on a 2 bike trailer next week if that's any use to you regarding the moped?

may have some space in the galaxy for other stuff if it helps out? can get it to swindon for a bit of cash to pay for the LPG?
