Dude,
I have a vstrom 650. Can you make me a system without having to tie with paracord?
I will take one.

I have always wanted to do something like this! I guess first I need a motorcycle though…

Reasons I can think of for wanting to mount your pedal bike on your moto:

1. Better gas mileage. Nuff said.
2. The amount of 2 wheeled fun you can have per ride has just increased astronomically!

I had a cop in the coffee shop parking lot look long and hard at my getup, but he was satisfied with the roadworthiness.

Interesting! I love me a little ghetto ingenuity! Ever get any cops busting your chops about it?

There used to be a rider that rode FATS that had a mount on his motorcycle. I have not seen him for a while, believe he was stationed at Fort Gordan. Pretty cool (and weird) seeing him riding with his bike attached.

“…be ready for lots of dumb questions by people who don’t get it. I’m not sure I get it either…”

this is the perfect solution for crazy gas prices and those of us who have to drive 80 miles to the nearest trail ($240 a month to go mtb’ing, who knew trucks get crappy gas mileage?).

Growing up on a dairy farm in Michigan, I know all about fabricating. My pickup’s bike mounts are custom, mostly from scrap aluminum laying around. The mount in my big truck (KW T-660) is a Yakima King Cobra, torn apart and mounted to a sheet of plywood. Next project; bike rack on a Yamaha Virago.
