Its raining and flippen freezing here now, so no doubt it will be snowing in Lesotho. Wouldn't recommend going up without 4x4 now, very slippery and gravel loose. Our cottage available this weekend if looking for accommodation.

Indeed! Fresh water, hot coffee at start, cold beer at finish (camping fridge in car) and camping chairs. In theory, life will be good on the trip.

Dankie ou Bees.

Gas bottle holder bolted on. Now for all the cosmetic cr@p.

Water cannister in place to be strapped on. Thule's fitted.

Thanks DJR. Unfortunately the Disco isnt mine, but are planning some dirt roads in Zim. Will definitely strap front end of bikes down. As you say, too much sideways movement, always looks as if they're going to "bliksem" off when checking in mirror.

Need to fit Roofracks (Crossbars) and Thule's then we're done!

Lots of paint to hide the welds.

Frame bolted on, sheeting after rugby.

Jockey wheel welded on.

Yip, very strong Velcro Band, made by Back country in Seattle. Doesn't budge or chafe tube. Simple and quick. Never had issues with stones or punctures.

And adorned by a magnificent bike as well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Box gate complete. Footplates being cut and drilled. Next to paint with NS4 and cover with checkerplate.

pics or they not there.

Will have to check the weight, but have to have more toys somewhere!

Slowly slowly catch the monkey. Skeleton 90% finished. Need lock door on side of ammo boxes and footplates.

As above, 4 of us are doing road trip to zim, can comfortably put 4 bikes on my theoretical evolving non-CAD design. Also slides for 8 boxes, two each.

Kids will learn the hard way.

Theory: 4 Bikes, 8 Ammo boxes. Big open road...........

Any idea where to get Humvee's on the line?

Common problem I think. Cant answer you, I just ride when I can, dont design them.

Yoh, I would like to think, (maybe very naively so), that there is still some form of trust, however slight, left in this grubby world. I had bike built up by LBS in Hilton, actually do not have warranty certificate, I assume still with owner of LBS which has since closed down. Would be able to trace it all I suppose. All for 4mm!!
