i had this discussion with a friend

£2500 on back of my car, risks are higher to be driven in to by some knob head

his view is is £4k bikes better on his roof, as how many low bridges do you drive under

He has a lowered Mondeo ST that needs a caravan wheel leveler chock to fit the jack under if he needs to take a wheel off, its easier for him i guess too, as i would need a ladder Laughing Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

That is expensive!

One could put a post it note inside the windscreen: "remember bikes on roof, don't drive into car parks" Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

I'll be careful with low garages or I might get barbequed!
