Speedferries

Postby m25jambuster » Sat Oct 27, 2007 7:02 am

Have just received this:

Dear Customer

It's with great pleasure that SpeedFerries can once more welcome motorcyclists aboard

As you may recall, the carriage of motorcycles was halted because of the inefficiencies of securely lashing the cycles onboard. After an extensive, global search, a solution that allows us to safely carry motorcycles once more has been found right here in the UK.

Hitchlugger, a small niche company, was founded by motorcycle enthusiast Geoffrey Kendall. Having grown his business by making Motorcycle Carriers for other enthusiasts, Geoffrey was delighted to come to Dover and adapt his product for SpeedFerries. Ideally suited for the fast craft, the carrier enables motorcycles to be stowed speedily and securely during all weathers.

Introductory £15 per crossing!

The new carrier systems will be in place 5 November 2007 and are already available to book online. Book now at introductory prices starting from just £15 per crossing for travel throughout 2008, there couldn't’t be a better time to secure your trial of the new system.

Glad to have you back

Kind regards


Curt Stavis
Chief Executive Officer

Great news re- Speed Ferries taking bikes
They've always been good to travel with.

I'm trying to arrange a trip with some pals.
How many bikes can you cater for?

It is good news that Speedferries are taking bikes again but....there is a rumour going round that they can only take four bikes at a time. When we go across there is always at least six bikes :evil:

Anyone know if this is the case.:(

According to their Press Release, this is indeed the case.

The first four motorcycle carriers will be installed for use 5 November 2007 with a view to installing additional
systems to meet demand.
In hiatus from motorcycles.
