About Sean Hamilton and MC Transports
I'm Sean. I've ridden motorbikes since my teens, and MC Transports is just me: the person who answers your message is the person who collects your bike and hands it back.
From a two-speed Puch to a motorbike transport business
Three bikes' worth of story, in the order it happened. The numbers on the boards are the only ones that matter here.

My first bike
The two-speed Puch
It started in my dad's field, on a two-speed Puch, when I was in my teens. Two gears and a lot of grass.

What I ride now
Triumph Street Triple 675
I've ridden on and off ever since. These days it's a Street Triple, so I know exactly how it feels to hand your bike over to somebody else.

First message to handover
MC Transports
Now I move other people's motorbikes. One person does the lot, so nothing gets lost between a call centre, a depot and a driver.
Why I started MC Transports
Bikes get bought on the other side of the county, need a run to the MOT, or have to be at a dealer by Friday. I wanted a motorbike transport service that worked the way I'd want it to if it were my Triple on the back of the van.
One person, start to finish
You message me, I quote, I collect and I deliver. Nobody else handles your bike, and there's no call centre to get through.
No depots
Your bike goes from the collection address to the delivery address. It isn't dropped at a yard somewhere on the way.
Prices you can see before you ask
Every starting price is on the prices page, local runs from £99. Two postcodes give you a fixed price for a standard weekday job, with no VAT to add.
Motorbike handling experience from Brewood Removals
Brewood Removals is my removals business. Moving other people's belongings carefully, up steps, through tight gates and safely onto a van, is the day job there, and some of those jobs have been motorbikes.
One was a Yamaha R1, going from Penkridge to Oxford as part of a house move. It ran fine, but the drive at the Penkridge end was steep, so we assessed it before anything was loaded. We raised the bike on the removals van's tail lift, then turned it with a three-point manoeuvre to get it from the lift into the van. The front wheel went into a wheel chock, four straps held it front and back, and removal blankets padded it on either side.
The mistakes I see most when people move a bike themselves are rushing, not looking at the space around the bike before moving it, and leaving the side stand down. So I look before anything moves.
MC Transports takes that handling experience and points it at one thing. If you're buying privately, I can collect a motorbike from the seller; if it's due a test, there's the MOT and service run. Everything I do is on the services page.
Rolls, steers, brakes. Then it's on.
