Thanks for the pole. I think this will say how many use what tyre, but I'm still interested in views of say the Michlin X11 and X-lite compared to the IRC and Dunlop.
Dont get me started on the x light ive had 2 and split them both open, i think they are just to thin.
Marketing scheme??? No real advantage, just playing on the perception that lighter is always better for trials??
Now that I changed the Timing belt my fun little street legal go kart is running again (better than ever now)
I placed the Sherco on the car, with the rear tire on the trunk and the front tire on the roof. Seemed like WAY too much stress and pressure would be on my roof. Especially because I have a sun roof, that glass just would not take it.
Thanks for that link, now I know there are some made specific for that car.
I will have to scrap the funny looking bike on top of car idea and go with a more conventional trailer hitch. Will be checking out the MR2 Board for more tips info.
I will need to investigate if there is anywhere to attach a trailer hitch to the car. Whole lotta exhaust system back there. Damn muffler is in horizontal and is almost as long as the car is wide.
OK Here is my conundrum: due to vehicle movements, leases etc..... I will not have a pickup in the near future. I know of someone who pulls a 3 place motorcycle trailer quite successfully with a Mazda Miata.
I have a 1985 Toyota MR2 (Fun Car) I am looking for suggestions on the possibility of transporting my trials bike with it.
For those not familiar with this car it is a MID-Engine 4 cylinder street legal go-kart.
I am hesitant to use a trailer due to the front end already being light with no engine up there. More weight in rear = lighter front = less ability to steer.
Was thinking more along the lines of a rack of some sort. Not too many places in the rear to attach though, with all the exhaust doing a snaky thing under there.
Had a rough idea of making a rack that would place the rear tire on the back of car and the front tire on the roof. but running into problems figuring out how I would get my large butt up there to tie the bike down.
Any ideas? Pics would really help
go ahead with the "You're a loony" responses also.
I know to those over there our U.S. National Championship means nothing, but to us it's very important and I don't think winning that is wasting his talent. I know I'm in the minority, but I would rather see our top rider here winning the U.S. Nationals and hanging out with the younger trials riders than living over in Europe where we'll never see him.
It helps to keep our younger riders interested and motivated.
