Hi Lil,
I possibly could carry it diagonally but the design of the mount would have to be more intricate than it is... I did try it diagonally with the forks facing forward but it put a lot of pressure on the mount due to the fork angle.
No - I don't need the extra space it gives, but I will (when it get's warmer) need to cary the GF's bike too - and straight ahead, side by side, is the simplest way to carry two (don't fancy laying my pride and joy down flat in the back either, lol).
The straps will actually hook into the tailgate latch now, rather than going over-and-under as in the pic.
Cheers,
Matt
Ah ok mate, i see your point, if it's a quality bike you don't want it rattling around in the back :thumbleft:
On the subject of bikes, there was a young guy working with us the other day on a site in London, he had a real nice bike. Anyway he asked me if he could lock it in the back of my van until we'd finished for the day, so i asked why, have you nicked it?, no he said, it cost a lot of money and i'm worried about it getting nicked. Fair enough i said, and we put it in the back of the van.
When it was time to go, i asked him if i could have a quick go on it, as i liked the look of it, he politely said no, so i said **** you then in a joking way, and he said it's my pride and joy, and it was a lot of money, how much? i asked £5000 he said!
After i recovered from falling over, he told me he had two other bikes of similar value!
