Swop my boat for your bike

Do you fancy swapping two wheels for sea legs? Well, Paul Kingston from Cork in Eire could be just the man to help. He wants to swap his Orkney 520 Cuddy pleasure boat for a Yamaha TDM900, Honda Varadero or Suzuki V-Strom.

Kingston told MCN: ” My wife bought me the Orkney as a present but since I work with boats, I get a bit fed up with them, really. I want to spend my spare time riding a bike. ” The unusual advert is in the latest issue of MCN BikeMart Fortnightly magazine, which is on sale now, with free Isle of Man TT stickers.
