Uses for the empty space when you get a wheel carrier bumper..??

[Patineto]

So what do you do with so much space...??

Extra fuel tanks, "bog out bag", "tool box" for CV/axles, tiedowns, air tools, open from the top, drop with hydraulics..??

Show us please..

I vote for the "bog out bag"

Actually I'd probably want more fuel...

Living in Colombia in the 80's "Certain" people used it space to carry "los Brazos" the long distance toys, let say..

I just want a practical/utilitarian purpose...

An extra 10 gallons would be REALLY nice. Or 40...

Steve love your "Icon" picture, now measure the space in "Bicycle Bananas" you know one banana for every ten miles..

We have a Burly Piccolo (best upright design of the tagalong because the stem can be move up and down, Forward and aft as the kiddos grows..

I looked at one of those for about 30 seconds, thinking my two year old is a "big boy. He can handle it!!!" Then my sensible wife showed me a WeeHoo recumbant setup, and I figured it would be better to not let "The Buddy" learn from daddy's mistakes with a nosedive. Rather, let him learn from scars when he is at least old enough to know what they are... I guess you could say I keep my wife around for a reason (among others...)

I'm "Kind of Bicycle freak" (we have 31, well six for my wife, okay four since they are tandems) and then the kiddos have six so far but I want to find a pedal Weehoo, i'm into recumbents too, and HPV's and bike blenders, and, and, and, and

You know i''m so used to it, i don't even notice, and this is mostly lane spiting "Just a little faster" than the speed limit..

At my age, I'm just happy to keep my Harley upright. I see a trike or sidecar in the not too distant future.

When the wife yells at me I go hang out down there. Its my safe place. Maybe build some walls that can fold up and you got yourself a Land Cruiser fort!

I almost married a really stubborn Russian lady..

"If I can fly a plane, I can ride a Motorcycle"

One day she stop by calBMW in mountain view and semi yell, "If somebody teach how to ride a motorcycle I buy one today" then my friend Kari (rip) a really wonderful person gut with weak knees for ultra beautiful woman felt for her and spend all Saturday afternoon teaching her how (he was the boss of the most successful bmw in the US)

Let me tell you stay the F away of anybody that rides motorcycles with out knowing how to ride a bicycle..

A recumbant trike is coming this spring...

I used to own 003 the one that started it all.. in the hills of San Francisco hills No bueno..


Single sided rear wheel and i'm sure you know how drum brakes work, well one of the brakes will brake normally, the other want backwards so every time you brake you where holding to the streer gizmo for dear life..

I never own one, but I help in the development of a few, i work on "Dinamic ergonomics"

"A few pictures" here
Sidecars Beloved SIDECARS of all kinds

My "PUkeiest ride ever" last 30feet until I when flying 30 feet, at least I land in soft sand (Domony dunes)

Full factory V-rod engine (about 175hp and 230pounds of torque) with Scott the most insane sidecar person I have ever meet, did you guys ever see TRON, well this thing turn just like that..

He drop a set oh Hockey Golie pants right in front of me, and I say "why do I need this things..??" "believe me just put them on" and he was right..

What you see on the platform are boot destroyer "Ice spikes", the biggest BMX medal ever, I call it Meat grinder..

Oh man now we really Off topic

 

[Hack]

Perhaps. But I do see a BFG A/T on that rig. And room for storage if there isn't a rider on that hell bike....

Apologies to Patineto, for jackin' his thread....

Topic wise, I think stashing the extra CV axle (or 2) under there is a fantastic idea!. The things weight a ton and take up way too much space in the vehicle, plus, if you don't lash them down securely enough, they could become deadly. A purpose built water resistant case of some sort would be the ticket. I'm doing it! Thanks for the idea Patineto!
