MOTORCYCLE RETRIEVAL TRAILER

Post by ROSS BROWN »

Due to motorcycles stranded on the salt last season..
A low lift trailer has being built.
It should be able to carry anything from a scotter to the " BONES " extra stretch A bike

If you are a lone ranger out there, organize yourself at scruiteneering as it to be your retrieval trailer
It wil be constantly hooked to a spotter vehical and be patroling..
IT IS ALL A RACE AGAINST TIME.
TIME WAITS FOR NO ONE.

HOW FAST CAN YOU GO ?

Fantastic! I was in the process of decking out a (as yet driverless) support vehicle... CB Radio next on the shopping list...

If this is the long ranger support system then I am happy to donate the bits I have already (cheap flashing light/spill kit) and $200 I was about to spend on the radio. I'd much rather pay for a shared resource that everyone gets the benefit of!

Also happy for me to be (including the car if needbe) as part of some roaster (and I would imagine that would be a requirement of using it).

Cheers,

Paul

Ok
Ross wins
I was about to present a trailer for the same purpose
this way there is a choice
trailer.jpg
trailer.jpg (164.78 KiB) Viewed 22939 times
the front wheel is "strapped" and pulled down @ the rear
trailerbike.jpg
trailerbike.jpg (156.06 KiB) Viewed 22939 times
So this should help with delays for DEAD bikes

Yep .. "The Lone ranger support system " I think we shall name the trailer "TONTO"
Keep ya cash in ya pocket .. It's your " TIME " we want..
there are 3 full week extra duties ..
1 .. IMPOUND.. 9 1/2 day shifts
2 .. SPOTTERS .. 9 1/2 day shifts
3.. SHORT TRACK TIMING.. 9 1/2 day shifts
Key personal are already in positions, BUT " we do need a hand "
If a motorcycle competitor is not already on the volenteeres register .. by the time they get through
scruitineering they will be :mrgreen:

Stayt'ie
The wooden chock was primarily to stop the "A bike" front guards from scratching the paint of the "Tonto"
but yep it can double as a ramp..

Tiny..
If you blow up on Monday .. I'll make you in charge of "IMPOUND" for the rest of the week.. :mrgreen:

Bones ..
I did wonder how long your bike was :shock: .... the bike on the trailer is 1700mm axle to axle, the trailer will take 2200mm.

Harky.. A little bird told me you were building a trailer.. :D there will be times where both will be needed at the same time.. this will help share the load..
Look forward to seeing ya...

what is it with "Yellow" bikes, :roll:

thanks Ross, was thinking some of the bikes can be "Heavy" and to manually lift the frounts 3" could be a struggle, :) ,,

Looking good on the Retrieval Trailers, Proper Job there x 2.

Hey Ron, don't worry about having another Yellow thing down there, Ross is a distant relative of Henry Ford, you can have any colour as long as it's Matt Black :!: :!: :!:

Pete :D
Still trying to decide if I am a procrastinator
