It says in the factsheet that the max noseweight is 85kg. does anyone know where that figure came from?

Wanna put the C90 on the trailer as well, Dandy?
I fitted a towbar to my SGL3 to enable us to trail a bike - trouble is, dunno which one to take!! Maybe the Ural for rugged reliability!!

The C90 goes on the bike rack no problem Yam..........I'm thinking bigger.........NO, not the TDM
I want to avoid trailer fares on ferries.
The Towsure 'bar is safe for 140kg, just wondering where the 85 for the van came from...........

Dandy - just had a phone call from a mate who's a dustman - he's just come back from Branscombe Beach where he said about 15 new BMW's had gone missing overnight from a container on the beach from that beached ship - and he actually saw one bike change hands for £2500!!
Sounds like a bonanza for bikers - don't know whether they were ready-assembled, or minus bits where they are packed - but no more room in my garage for any more bikes - unfortunately!!

Haven't got a definate answer yet Woody but I've had a 110 kg bike on the rack and nothing budged.
If I remember rightly the caravan drawbar nose weight should be around 50/75kg..................just put a load of pet cages behind the caravan wheels and ye'll be ok..........
