Re: To Motorcycle scout situation.

[John Fleck <jlfleck@domain.elided>]

Well I am glad to here from some of the Scouters that have bikes also. Well
you are suggesting a good start to solving the trailor problem. I always
took the top off in the summer but we know mother Nino doesnt always
corroporate ( Still blaming the Cougars loss in the last two seconds of the
Rose Bowl on El Nino, should have had at least one second if not two left
for Leaf to get it in the end zone.....mumble groan bitch piss and moan...)
I like your idea and have seen some already like the tray idea. The one big
suggestion I have is to weld two more Reciever holes, one on each side of
the hitch or frame rail. This way you distribute the load more on the Frame
rails so as the scoutaledo bounces and crawls along it lessens the load on
the trailor hole reciever.

            00000      0   0       00000
                       00000
  Youn would use the top two instead of the one. Yes the Roost Boost is
4-Stroke only and you can check on the bars with the honda Dealer. I think
the bars are mainly sold on the particular bend.I think they would work as
most honda bikes are similar.Hope this helps. I will brainstorm more and
tell you when I think of more. Until then Keep planning and between you,
me, and the listers We will get it done.

John,

     I'm responding to the list for a reson.  Have you ever heard of anyone 
making a tray that mounts in a classIII hitch or on the bumper that will
allow 
me to carry more than just a moped?  I have a CR450R, and I can't figure
out a 
way to get it around without a trailer.  I was thinking of making a tray that 
mounts in the receiver, and lets the back tire of the bike trail the truck.
 I 
seem to be seeing more of these lately, any ideas?  My plan, for the
moment, is 
to make a tray that mounts in the hitch, along the back of the truck, pick up 
and put the bike in it.  Tie it to the back of the truck (haven't figured
this 
one out yet) and drive on.  Only problem is I can't open the back gate.
Anyway,
another option is to put the tray on the front.
