Its just a crying shame they put that sodding strut brace in the rear, and the plastic speaker / glove box setup behind the seats making the boot almost useless. I've been tempted to get one of these hitches from the states $85 curt trailer hitch and a rack to fit.
They are very cheap now to buy now... fuel prices have hit hard. Mine does 26mpg, £260 tax and £400 insurance so not that bad really.
LHS - WINNER!

10pmix - good effort! Is that a totally bespoke rack for that motorbike or can yuo actually buy something like that somewhere? I have a full lisence but never owned a motorbike for long simply down to the fact that I assumed carrying a bike was impossible. This could be a total game changer.....!

Not a bike, but the components for a workbench.
What do you mean I could have been decapitated...?

I'll regularly have 2 x hardtails on the back of a MX5. Never fails to get a few second glances at trail centres (probably "who's the bellend with the MX5?"). No pics I'm afraid.

A a SS event a few years back, a guy had his bike on top of a 911, who cares if its suitable or not, still a great looking car

Donkeys years ago Hans Rey did a MTB on the back of a MX/dirt bike for a trip, might have been in MBUK, but I can't find a pic, so how about this?

No issues at all apparently scaredypants. they do have a donkey wheel with a slick tyre and no cassette but given the low loading the extra speed won't make a lot of odds - its in the US so no 100 mph stuff anyway.
I have also checked and its legal to do this in the UK

When i was 17 i used to gaffa tape my mtb to the side of my yamaha DT 125, with the wheels tied to my rucksack, right hand corners were awkward as the forks would rub the road

Slightly off topic but I saw a guy on a bike carrying a pair of (bike) wheels along the C2C yesterday. Good effort.

I'm thinking the car exhaust / bike tyre interface begs the question what asbestos sidewalls for.....?

Used to be an old school roadie thing - ride one and only bike to race. Carry race wheels ("sprints"/tubs) off bars.
Another mate drives a Boxster and straps his Sram Red equipped Look road bike to it for trips to Europe.

I used to have one of those Fiat X1/9 things in the early 90's - mid engine 2 seater small sports car, and got my specialized xc bike inside there somehow, never thought of taking photos of it but would be interesting to see now.
