Default Who needs a van to move bikes...not me.



Yes, that's a 1995 Nissan Micra, and yes, there are 2 Suzuki TS50Xs in the back of it. Better pics at http://www.flickr.com/photos/78131584@N00/

Just a little bit more assembly required than the ol' fold-in-half-pushbike eh!

The yellow one will be back on its wheels in 20 minutes. It only took an hour to strip them and get them in there.

Depends, you can get a ZZR1100 into a Renault Espace if you take the mirrors off - I know 'cos I did.

And you can get a CBR600 in the back of a Volvo 245.

I used to take my 250LC race bike to meetings in the back of our Mk1 Fiesta. Had to drop out both wheels, and the forks but it would fit. The only problem was the petrol fumes on the flog up the motorway to Mallory. Used to have to have the window open.

It's hard work getting bikes into cars but it does result in a strange satisfaction!
