I find this much easier than a trailer. No rego needed or lifting.

Wow!  Is that totally stable Snapey?  I guess it must be otherwise you wouldn't be using it.  I guess there is significant loading on those tie straps tho....

Snapey you little ripper!!  That's a fantastic idea.  Looking at it it'd bet it's as stable as! What a great invention.

Those photo's were taken the day I fitted it 5 or 6 years ago. The tie downs were never used as I don't feel the hook type are secure enough unless you bottom out the suspension. I'll post a few photo's in the morning of how it looks now & how I secure the bike with decent tie downs.

Every time I pick up a bike I get questions about the rack so maybe it's time I got off my arse & looked at producing a few.

There's not much weight on the back wheel so you won't do any damage by towing. How do I know? I towed Alan B's bike 60kms with a flat rear.
