insurance and tax all sorted! insurance a bit pricey so I better do a few more miles this year. See you all at the weekend.

Check out the extended sparta mix! Very amusing!

Just done a new policy with all mods declared for £650, 9yrs ncd, 33yrs old.

Not the cheapest quote but the one I felt most comfortable with.

The parts you are after are primarily dealer bits. If someone can get the proper part numbers, I can pick them up from Toyota in Liverpool or Steve Manley, and guess what, bring them over for you on 18th June- I'll be over for the World Cup. Now THATS service. My mate lives in MidRand.

Quality offer! Great club spirit, I took parts to Perth Australia for a club member a while back.

Yep should be there just trying to sort my insurance!

I am waiting on 2gether getting back to me and hopefully Sky will get back to me today as well, I hope Sky comes back cheapest as I would prefer to use them if it is affordable.

I will post both figures when I get them.

Edit:

Sky: £650 9yrs ncd 33yrs old (huge declared mods list)

2gether: said they cannot come close to £650

Google sandbox lasts anywhere in between now and about a year. Usually 6 months.

 

Smashing the local SERP should take you 3-6 months.

 

Good luck, its a PITA!

Only just found out what a serp is!!

Managed to get on the first page on google already under motorcycle storage Aberdeen, I have a gumtree add up near the top and then the website itself about half way down.

Well chuffed with that!

Took a quick look at your site ,I know its new ,but the questions an Owner of the bike would ask are not answered

ie Do you collect/deliver?

what insurance cover is there ?

Can you inflate and rotate tyres ?

Can I contact you to check if bike starts before I come and collect

What happens to the keys ?

and loads more ,just my 2 p worth

thanks some good questions which I will add to the FAQ page and I will put a few more details on the services page to cover some of those points.

Thanks again all input valuable.

With regards to the google point I have it in hand but it may take a while to get on the search engines.

Storage: 'BikeBox'

 

I'll have to think about the rental bit....

Great idea have gone with that!

Bikebox is a winner mate. It can apply to both business routes, is very catchy and most importantly bikeboxstorage.co.uk and bikeboxrentals.co.uk are both available. Get them both and either have 2 sites or park one domain pointing to main site.

Also great advice so took that as well!

Thanks for all the ideas and now please feel free to visit

http://www.bikeboxstorage.co.uk

This one is parked and redirects to the storage website

http://www.bikeboxrentals.co.uk

Feel free to be critical of the website as it is the first time I have tried anything like this and I am a complete techno biff!

I do have to come up with a logo I think!

Good plan, if I am available I will be there.

Crotch rocket rentals? What sort of bikes you thinking of using?

No sportsbikes as insurance is a nightmare.

Rental side is still a bit open, I have spoken to triumph dealers and Honda dealers it will either be classic looking triumphs or touring Hondas however a bit of me wants it to be japanese classics but I havn't done any research in this area to see if there is a demand for the classics.

I am hoping to have the rental side set up for April next year but start advertising it this year when the storage starts.

When and how do you get tickets for this? Is there a general thread for Suprapod and list of those attending?

Whats the performance?

Stash & Thrash whilst sounding catchy seems to promote thrashing rentals which I would not want.

Bikebox I like and the Grampian Motorcycle Storage & Rentals does have logic attatched however if I move in the future and take the business with me I would have to rename.

Thanks guys

Keep 'em coming!

Great buy, would love a track car myself but too many on going projects to justify it at the moment.

let us all know how it goes on your next track outing.

I am starting a motorcycle storage business this year and then going into motorcycle rentals next summer and need a name that is appropriate for both aspects of the business.

When a name is decided and domain name sorted I can then start advertising for this coming winter. The idea being the storage will keep ticking over through the winter and then the rentals for the summer months.

Any ideas for names, logos etc much appreciated.

Edit: Thanks for the ideas now sorted please feel free to visit the website

that sounds good bud! get to see that epic new garage of yours! lol.

At least it would be somewhere to go if it pissed down!

Could do with changing the title of the thread to reflect the new date if possible.

I will speak to Eve and see if we can set a date for a BBQ in June/July at our place as well. I was thinking it might be worth making it a Sat afternoon have a few beers spark up a bonfire and camp in the field overnight. Could get the footy out or rounders. Any ideas welcome.

Just thinking out loud!

Surely the main use for this is capturing your sexual exploits on video?

I must be getting old as that did not even cross my mind.

A bit of short lived fun maybe!

At least you could carry extra passengers in the wheel arches.

Cat C

1.8

Shed

Not for me!

Not sure on the rear lights or the steering wheel but nice looking motor overall.

I can make the 6th. Just thought as well that the 30th is Eve's birthday and we are away that weekend as well. Hopefully we will both make the 6th.

I don't like the devil horn badges as already mentioned, I don't like window tints, TRD spoilers, spats of any description and I don't like dash panels any colours other than grey. I don't like Chrome rims, roof spoilers, vented bonnets, whistles in exhausts, stickers on the body work, aftermarket steering wheels probably loads more but I will post them later.

Cars will be taxed for the 1st of June so won't make this one!

Next time.
