    Grr. The underground railway one didn't, err, fit in the end :)

    Anyone need an 8 X 4.0 4" PCD spare wheel ?! ;-)

  3. Depends; does it have a whiplash aerial?

  4. My trailer has a custom made piece of Armco as a ramp. Works bloody
    well.

  5. Will it fit a wheelbarrow?

    I remember having seen a video of a race of old British cars trailing
    caravans... sort of a destruction rally, though.

    They still do it. The destruction is because it's just another form of
    banger racing.

    One blew on the way to the race, changed it for the spare.
    One blew on the way home and left us without a spare.
    Recovery didn't want to know (Cunts).
    I really didn't want to ride 150 miles home on my KTM with no plates and
    tax.
    We phoned a mate who had a spare.
    He drove 150 miles to sort us out.
    We gave him plenty beer tokens.

    His racks are very good. I have one for the KTM.
    Not sure it'd be good for a road bike.

    Popular with the punters not so with the race track owners as it makes an
    almighty mess.

    All those bits of caravan flying about are quite dangerous for the
    drivers too.

    Just check the width of the rail (important!)

    Strength of anchor points is an important issue too, as long as the ratchets
    holding the front fork make more strength with road bikes (the stiffer the
    fork, the stronger you must attach it)

    I'm sure it's been discussed in here before, but in case you missed it,
    exceeding the trailer nose-wheel weight of a vehicle is considered very
    naughty these days. So it's illegal to carry virtually any bike on a
    bike rack, with the exception of mini-motos & possibly trials bikes.

    And of course those old bangers will have floorpans like seives, too.
    The blood will get just *everywhere*.
