Funny you should say that
Do you think others would take their bikes and maybe have a bimble out on say Sunday morning for a couple of hours, seems a shame to be near some cracking roads and not arrange a 'rideout' whilst there
Anyone else interested?

no flipping chance!!!
I could never get away with being out all day with the wife left on her own when we are supposed to be walking around the Hayfield area (Sundays route looks good)
Bikes and Motorhoming are supposed to be on 'Alternate' weekends these days but i thought i could just sneak out for an hour or 2 if i played my cards right

Bikes.......
Hi,I have a 'rat' chop suzuki vs 800 and a kwak 1000 trike,i built both of them and built many over the years.
Have you thought of making an attachment that bolts to plate on towhitch(instead of ball)that would carry the front wheel of bike or trike(ratched in strongly)thus weight of vehicle is more or less still on tarmac but acting like a trailor (but not ON a trailor).
Have used this idea many years,having made a hefty wheel holder and have transported many vehicles this way (up to 80mph)with no problems !!
Happy geezer now in Bulgaria...
p.s looking for cheap big custom cruiser bike,got one damaged or in shed ??

hi ian
i am in the same position just bought a fiat ducato van i also keen biker i have ducati supersport i intend to travel round europe but just going to see if i can pick up a cheap 250 trail bike because i think all the weight of a proper bike would be to much and in a ermegency if you had to throw the van to either side with a big bike i think it would be a
nightmare

Thanks for all the input, very helpfull as expected
If i occasionally want to take my bike along i will be buying a trailer
I know 'buffalobill' from a biking rideout site that we frequent and i think i would be selfish to try and take the bike with me on our 'fortnightly' MH outings
One weekend i get to ride the bike (Margaret works every other weekend)
and the following weekend we get to 'explore' new places together in our MH

hi ian , yes i have had to do the same, blackbird one weekend, motorhome the next. ian recommended this site to me and i am really impressed with all the help, info and the friendliness of what i have read from the members,
we have a fiat ducato , swift sundance 590RL , of to wales, next weekend ,then up to scotland 23rd may, on camp sites, now i know there are posts on here about stoppping places i wont be booking sites as often, .
cheers happy days bill.

Hi all,
Best bike carrier I ever saw was a cut down lorry tail lift on the back of a converted ambulance. It was being used to carry a Honda CBX ( that's the old style six cylinder 1000cc CBX!! ). Hate to think how much extra weight and strain was on the end of that chassis!. Would'nt like to think what my old bandit 1200 would do to my Al-Ko chassis.

Bike wise, I am now without a steed ,last two bikes were a BMW 1150 and a Yamaha Fazer ( detuned r6 model ). I have my old BSA and Honda in storage but neither on the road.
I am in my motorhome full time and have a GSD has co pilot so not much sense in lugging a bike around anyway.
Has for loading photos to the site look at the FAQ's for the finer points. But I use photobucket. just upload the photos to Photobucket ( free account ) then copy them to your thread.using the IMG tag. If you get stuck feel free to pm
Great to have another biker on board

Hi Slim..
If you are still undecided about Triking I think I may be of some help.
I test ride and sign off all trike conversions done by Wackeys of Okehampton.
If you're registered disabled you will get it done vat free
maybe even a grant for the conversion from NABD.
Heres a few pics,
Thats my ugly mug in the last pic
This last pic has an "Easysteer" fitted, it's like power steering for trikes
Wackey has triked everything from a 535 Virago to a Rocket 3
And I've rode them all
EDIT Although I still ride 2 wheelers with no problems { personal bikes are R80g/s, R90s, R100cs, R60/6, R26, R65g/s Yammy FJ1100 and an assortment of HONDA monkey bikes }, I am registered disabled and am therefore able to advise suitability and work with all the different attachment we can and do fit to trikes.
For EG >> Quaife reverse g/box, Single lever brakes, klicktronic gearshifts, servo brake assist and also single bar controls for one armed riders ..
