Title: Interesting bike at Uttoxeter
Post by: guest7 on July 09, 2009, 08:03:27 AM: I'm ashamed to say I didn't get a piccy, but there was a great thumper out on the field. It was an army issue BSA unit single. The paintwork was the original army green. What cheered me up was the fact that it was obviously a well-used bike, it had a neat little single wheel trailer with an ammo box as its body. The owner had painted the bike's registration on the rear of the box.

What a nice effort. It looked to be a good little hack.

Do you mean getting another bike to tow the MZ? sounds like a good idea to me. ;) :)

Where has this Volvo myth come from? I only used the Volvo once for a club event, when I hauled a massive amount of kit up to Stafford for a show. Tsk! ::)

I pulled up at screwfix on my way home and there was a very similiar trailer, based on an old aliminium beer barrel attached to a well disguised 1200 bandit. The guy reckoned he hardly noticed it there and quite often took his dog out in it !. He had fabricated a completly new rear sub-frame, from box section tubing, so attaching the trailer was quite easy. Wasnt pretty but looked effective
