You wheren´t looking close enough at Steam, under Standard fees it reads:

3 Wheeler + 1 (3 wheeled vehicles inc combinations/motortrikes) plus driver

and if you can´t count a bike+trailer as a combination the royal english dictionary should go in the channel.


Come on Jock, must do better in your history.

The Isle of Man is not English it is Manx with its own language and Government, any disposing of would be in the Irish Sea, which surrounds our Island, not the channel.:clapper:

3 Wheeler + 1 (3 wheeled vehicles inc combinations/motortrikes) plus driver



That reminds me I know a song about 3 wheels on my wagon,

News from the Ferry company, 'Steam Packet company'

 Bike and trailer, is classed a bike,

Trike as bike and side car.

Nearer the time I will get a code for the bookings to insure best rates.

So what will be the clasification for a trike and trailer?

A double side car, is freight class, starts at £850 they weigh the passenger as well :cheeky1:

If I asked they wouldn't believe me,

 

Ok I asked, It is a bike and side car price, as long as the trailer and hitch is under 1.5 mtr long.

No trailer and hitch is under 1.5 m, they are mostly around the 2m mark and Christines trailer tent is about 3 metres, I guess we will have to negotiate separately.

Trike Travellers are likely to be in the same boat.

Redwing, either a full motorcycle or full car licence.

It is actually class B1, if you want to argue with Christine about it, be my guest :cheeky1:

Dont tell her I was asking you about it :bowing: but looking at the UK regulations it doesn't say anything about towing trailers with catagory B1  :doh:

Hey Mr Axeman, you need to give that Redwing a slapround the head with a wet fish. ;)

Here I am, being good and following instructions by putting the photo in the gallery and providing a link. Along comes Redwing, a member of the MANAGEMENT no less, and copies the photo into the thread, against your instructions. I don't know, you just can't get the staff these days. :cheeky1::cheeky1::cheeky1:
