Trials Transport

I currently own a citroen saxo. I'm thinknig of saving up for a 4x4 but until that time comes, I need something to transport my bike (when i buy it) to its destination. Would I be able to get a bike rack for a saxo? Or better to just get a tow bar and trailer? What sort of expense would I be looking at? I live in the north east so that guy down kent who does quality trailers wouldnt be much use to me

New to van ownership and using 2008 Peugeot expert SWB 2.0 120BHP. Its only used to transport one or two bikes twice a week and the rest of the time general use unladen. The only tyre pressures given are for semi laden (48/53PSI) and fully laden (N/A) The above pressure seems to give a harsh ride when unladen and its more 'comfortable' using around 42/44. Any of you guys in a similar position - what pressures are you using.

Hi guys, I'm about to get into trials, however, before I buy a bike I need to know if a Trails bike can fit in the back of a Fiat Doblo with the seats folded down ?? As it will save me buying a trailer/towbar or re tax/insure and mot'ing me old van Thanks in advance

I HAVE AN AUDI A4 AND AM THINKING OF USING A BIKE RACK RATHER THAN A TRAILER WOULD THIS BE OK ON A A4......... AND AM I GOING TO STRUGGLE USING A CAR TO GET TO MEETINGS ?

hi does any fit a trials bike in a transit connect van thanks for any reply's

I'm hopefully picking a bike up on friday and I'm in a rush to get a tow bar as I can lend a trailer for now but my eyes are on a dave cooper rack for future reference. What sort of mounting is it that they use? From what i understand, you dont need a tow ball as it bolts to where the tow ball usually bolts to. Would this do? And would I need extra support brackets as though I'm pulling a trailer due to alot of weight being over the bracket? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-Towbar-fits-Citr...=item1e58a9b674 ********** Nothing much, contacted Dave? And he explained what I needed and suplied me with added extras just to make sure I wasnt lookign around for stuff once I recie…

Hi All, i am looking to get a rack to bolt onto the back of the car (Golf). can anyone recommend, by experience a good make/model, and dealer. cheers paul

I bought my Evo second hand, do I need to put the lights on and take it to DVLA to get it road registered?

Looking at buying one in the near future, seem the right size for the trials bike and there pretty cheap.....55 plate vans going for just over 4k. Any problems to look out for, engine's, gearbox's etc etc??. Cheers Mark

Hello All, I'm keen to start, and looking at various transport options. Being a tight Aberdonian I'd like to see if I can get a 250 Beta into the back of the car with some minor dismantling (this is probably the first bike I'll buy). Cost of towbar is around

Simple one really and probly covered before hand. will a gasgas pro fit in a transit connect, not the high roof but standard roof height? anyone got one and can measure it? cheers guys

Is it the vivaro and trafic are exactly the same and the Nissan Primastar is a different engine/ box. I am looking at maybe buying a Trafic/ Vivaro due to the low load height I will want to load large road bikes as well. Anything I should look for or avoid. Thanks in advance.

hi, all just wondering if anyone has pictures of 2 bikes in a vauxhall combo so i can see that they fit in otherwise can any 1 tell me what small van will fit 2 trials bikes in. The engine needs to be small so i get insured as i am going to be a new driver on the road. i ahev been looking at 1.6 citeron dispatches new shape but just 2 expensive also i do want the van to be a fairly new shape well over the year 2000 if you get what i mean ta but if you know any other makes will small engines please post thanks a lot

As I was researching for my wee project I tripped over quite a few Trials bikes on trailers behind motorcycles, but they seemed well scattered. I figured starting a thread for pics or links if you know of any elsewhere would be a good thing. So here's mine....

Has anybody tried to contact Kliponoff recently. I do know that the business has been sold on and moved to Nelson in Lancs I think but the telephone number was redirected to the new owners. I have tried in the last week and the number is now not recognised, wondered if anybody knew who or how to contact the new owners? Cheers Steve

Has anyone got or tried one of those folding trailers by CMF or Phoenix trailers, thinking of getting one thanks Phill

Hi guys i looking for a good design for a 4 bike trials trailer to make, does anyone have any good layout plans. any help would be great thanks

Hi guy's, i just got my new rack to bolt onto my girlfriends corsa, the thing is when i put the bike on the bike wants to lean right into the boot, whats the best way to strap her down also i take it the the two removable parts just sit in the bar that bolts to the towbar, would these not need a pinch bolt of some sort to stop it bouncing out or do they sit in fine? , sorry for the daft questions, i have not yet used the rack yet. Infact any pics of your bike strapped on would be fantastic. Cheers, Steve

Im looking at getting a bike from yorkshire somewhere but I no longer have a van, just a saxo hatchback. I was wondering if with the passanger seat and back seats completely out, would a bike fit in with the front wheel off? Theres no way I can pick one up.getting one from a shop delievered to me up here in cumbria bumps up the price too much as the bikes are a little more to start with from traders..so I was looking at going myself to buy private not knowking anything about the bikes really....so risky........ suggestions please

Can anyone reccomend some good insurance company's that will allow me to insure my bike on a frame number temporarily whilst I get the registration sorted with the DVLA? Ive had some really good quotes but when I ask if they will insure it on the frame number they say "yes, but your premium might go up a little bit", A little bit is more like triple what my original quote was for a week of being insured without a reg plate...... another alternative I thought of which is a bit naughty..... would it be possible to take out insurance at silly money, then cancel it during the 14 day "cooling off" period under some sort of condition like " I didnt realise i wasnt insured f…
