New toy, new problems.

So this weekend, i got to fetch this little beauty, bike i raced in 2015 , coming back to me as a training / spare bike.

Only trouble is , its 4ft tall , and the garage is 4ft tall. The off road version, is another 3 inches on top, and even if i pull it down on forks, its tight, and a ball ache.

So after struggling to find the right wheel, i picked up this from Machine Mart.

Banged the bearings out of it, and fitted some spacers , and now it fits great. Not really a pain in the arse, as the wheels have to come out for tyres anyway , and it makes it a lot better than lifting it in with the spindle.

Can you get them in slicks?

Should make for some interesting cornering.

You're not thinking of sitting on that thing are you ?

The Burstners are tall enough to get them in, but the rear floor is a lot lower, and when you are loaded , they drag the arse everywhere, but i knew it was an issue. Lifting the bed is the option i am looking at now.

the 747s not the argos can be tight Ive seen beds raised on them I think if I ever bought a camper for just mx it would be a Fun Mover money no option an RS that takes 4 bikes. I cant see either happening anytime soon

RS are all overweight before you put owt in them , let alone 4 bikes. We are just resigned to taking 2 vehicles , if we both ride, the upside of that is i can leave when i want and not have to faff about, and stick all the cr@p in the little van.. we get 2 in OK , and all the kit,i dont have budget to go bigger, and i have had bigger and while its nice at the track, its not so nice having a brake master cylinder fail in Berlin, in a vehicle with no recovery on it.
