Trying to find a way to carry our two bikes, The problems are, I am towing a caravan with a detachable Witter tow bar, so I can't attach it there, I have a factory fitted sports kit so I cant find a rear fitting carrier that will work with the spoiler. I have a panoramic sunroof so the only bars I think that will fit are the LR bars and they cost an arm and a leg. Any Ideas? FL2 HSE Sumatra black with body kit |

That's what I do and then put them on my Thule bike carrier which clamps on the towball when on site when transporting them around places Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis |

better to zip tie the wheel to the frame than round the lever, you will stretch your cable, and round wheel is safer At work

You help a vaner in a small way and they are so desperate for friends that they try and recruit you into their club At work

housing chickens in a caravan would be illegal under the broiler health directive. you have to give them at least basic accommodation At work At home "I can't always believe facts I read on the web" - Charles Dickens winner by default of the tractor vs caravan race |
