Just a big cheers to the AA.....
I was heading to France on my motorbike - got to Portsmouth ferry dock when the rear wheel bearings collapsed 6.30 pm.
Decided that I couldn't continue (obviously) and after a while decided that my best option was to be trailered home. I have the Roadside Relay recovery level.
Phoned the AA who explained my options; they got a truck to me within the hour; first driver took me to Birmingham where the AA found me a Travelodge; in the morning the next driver phoned me to say he was on his way - took me to Scotch Corner where another truck was standing by.
The next driver brought me to my door.
I couldn't wish to meet more professional guys who took fantastic care of me and my bike. Nothing was too much trouble and the general organisation was incredible (phone calls when they said, etc).
To this side of the AA - 100% and many, many thanks! When I got home, the first guy actually rang me to ask how I was!
Post script....3 wheel bearings £21, fitted them in 1 1/2 hrs.
France and La Rochelle will have to wait until next year.
