Title: Blackmail
Post by: Fat Rat on December 23, 2017, 16:27:48: You will have seen that I had my Daughters 125cc bike for sale. This was all part of an evil plan to get her off of two wheels and onto four (who is a hypocrite ?) :shy:

Anyway, the plan was laced with a hefty dose of blackmail and this is her new ride.

Post by: mr_diver on December 24, 2017, 08:55:16: Very nice indeed.

But,

You're not going to get a very big bike in that...
Say something like a small 125cc may fit :stirpot:

Why? Both the Dragonlady and I drive Vivaro Vans as our daily transport :shrug: Other than a Multi-Storey, they park anywhere a Car does

Agree with you regarding every day use as the wheel base size is similar to an average 4x4, Some 4x4s are even bigger. When I finally grow up I would love to own a converted VW transporter surf van .

Post by: Rich:-) on December 24, 2017, 17:55:44: I have a LWB VW T4 surf bus as my only 4 wheeler, no real issue with it as a daily drive either... though I have installed rear view cameras (2off).
