redbaron Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Hi has anyone used their trialler as everyday transport? I've got a 3-4 mile commute across town and Im thinking of using my 02 315r. Ive got the full lighting kit etc. I know its probably a bad idea but has/does anyone use their trialler everyday?

rustandoil Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Years ago (late '70's) I used my Bultaco as my only transport, quite good fun taking the long way to work to include some tracks and on old quarry, not sure I fancy two wheels at all on today's roads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daggs888 Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Used my 4rt to travel to and from work last year (4 miles each way with about 1 mile of green lane), It was great (took up a few sections on route). You will benefit from a long ride seat, the only other downside is roads are heavy on tyre wear..... Do it end enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02-apr Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 You'll need to get a regulation registration plate or your collar will get a bit frayed! Or you might even end up on telly if you live in one of the vigilante areas per this week's MCN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the moment I have a stick-on tiny plate ontop of the rear mudguard which is obviously highly illegal. The Mont lighting kits seems to include a nice Honda XR-esque tail light that would sit nicely ontop and a huuge bulbous monstrocity that looks like it would snap the mudguard in two if I attached it. Not sure whether to just take the risk or play it by the law, Im pretty sure I wont get pulled in rush hour traffic as they probably wouldn't catch me and Im damn sure I will get pulled anyway as its going to look a little funny (Im 6ft 3 by the way!). Has anyone used a buttrest (www.buttrest.co.uk) and do they work? Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
