I have access to a decent big (single) bike tailer, and I have a ovloV (hiss spit etc) estate and a GPS routefinder unit.

I'm based in Tring in herts (near Watford)

If you need a bike trailering anywhere give me a call - 20 quid minimum, plus 50p per mile (from me...)

example - bike from Hangar lane / ace cafe to swindon - 200 miles = 120 quid.

watford to central london = 70 miles = 65 quid (tenner surcharge for the hatefull smogfilled godawful place that london is, inc congestion charge)

Slough to Leeds = 420 miles = 230 quid.

Is this reasonable?

i only recover bikes locally but i would check on the insurance side.
trailering someones bike which has broken down is one lot of insurance.
trailering a bike to deliver it is another matter.
most insurance companies class it as a valet service.
as you are making a profit from it.

and you must realise that the goverment does not like us making profit.

seriously check your insurance cover it will not cover you for profit and gain
you will need a seperate policy.

sorry if i'm telling you something you already know
