Looking for a way to carry my mountain bike on the back of my 98 VFR800i

your kidding right ?

 

only a crazy canadian...


where is that pic of the canoe and the motorcycle?

 

Hey folks,
I googled it and there is a company making bicycle racks for motorcycles. Only a few models fitted at this point but 'Johnnyrack' is working on one for VFR800.

WOW ! i goggled it to and they really make one ? there ya go who would have thought ?

 

I'm sorry, but I found that picture IRRESISTIBLY funny.

:rofl:

 

im with you too funny,

 

It would be even funnier if someone road that setup two up, with the passenger riding the mounted bicycle.

 

I think you should just ride the bicycle. i was paying 210 a month for gasoline. im this (------) close to doing it.

im serious. with my wife in the hospital and me only makin 8.75 im freakin broke.

 

Now that's a funny pic. :biggrin:

 

Get a pack yak!

 

I've done it, took my mtn. bike 220 miles each way to go riding with a friend. I have the pic for my profile pic. Just got to figure out how to inset a pic.

 

is this a redneck joke? does it end with "here's your sign"?

 

The vfr was the only way to take the mtn bike on. I don't plan on having to do it more than a couple times a year. I have a good friend down in San Louis, and I ride the bike whenever I go down. No way I'm driving my 15mpg truck, just to transport the mtn. bike.

 

I just come right out & say it, there is something wrong with carrying a bicycle on a motorcycle.

KC-10 FE out...
lane: :usa2:

 

I find a puncture repair kit is much easier to carry...:biggrin:

 

Thread revival..

My bicycle rack has a top box for bicycle helmet, shoes, change of clothes and plenty of room for storage.
The whole setup does not obstruct view of tail/brake light, turn signals and does not add width to overall motorcycle.






I usually get pretty beat after a good bicycle ride.
That's why I put my bicycle on my scooter, relaxed riding position, not carrying anything on my body, no shifting, no clutch, just twist and go.
Life is too short to punish yourself after doing something you enjoy.

 

I think member here, Flailer, had one rigged up to his VFR. But he hasn't been active here since 2011. He was at one of the R3 fiascos several years ago. 2009 I think. He helped pick me up on one of my misadventures. Talk about resurrection of an old thread.

 

Here is one on CL https://orangecounty.craigslist.org/mcy/5999871825.html
Just saw it last night. Don't know if the rack comes with it.
