 Posted: 19:25 - 04 Sep 2009 Post subject: Anyone ever put a bike on the back of this? (Skoda van) |

I'm thinking of getting one, it looks like a pretty decent car/van type thing, can be used for day to day use, and has 2 rear foldout seats if I need them...
But...
Would I be able to fit a bike (or 2) on it?
I've seen 2 bikes go on the back of a Proton Jumbuck and that looks a similar size.
From looking at a local one, the rear of the bike would have to be on the rear flap as the actual bed is too short..
So, would I get 2 bikes on it?
Cheers in advance!  ____________________ Currently Riding - 2002 Aprilia RSV1000 Mille |

check the rims
erm, it could do, probs wanna be a bit longer?? failing that, TRAILER!
But then again, im not there so cant gauge the size.
If you can happily fit a single bike on there, fair play!
Personally i would recommend a trailer, only due to the mass possibilites (mates break down/crash/track days)
and the guy above..anything wrong with yellow?!  |

JD - I already have a trailer, but was planning some trackdays abroad and the van would be so much easier on the ferry + long distances!
Also, if you like the outside yellow, you should see the interior, black and yellow leather....yellow dash insutruments
I like the rear seats tho, you just pull the back of the cab out, pretty cool idea -

And Mr_fisty -
The TLR is quite long wheelbased isn't it? Ideally I would want to get 2 bikes on, did you try the TL on straight? ____________________ Currently Riding - 2002 Aprilia RSV1000 Mille |

You'd get two bikes on that easy, just need to add some extra tie down points, eye bolts with suitable steel plate on the other side to spread the pressure. Not sure how putting extra tie down points in the bed would work with the sliding out seats.
Are those things 4x4? |

Get a van. More room for kit. (where are you going to put your tools, WOW, leathers, food etc. etc.)
I've got a yellow Transit. Year 2000 £1500. Job's a good 'un.
Don't piss about, do it properly.

Nah, FWD, only a 1.6 petrol aswell.
It's appealing to me as it's cheap on petrol, small enough to be able to be used for commuting, and other everyday stuff, has the 4 seats if anyone else ever needs a lift, and as an advantage could carry bikes!
It looked like it had a few decent tie down points, but I have access to welding materials, and a team of great bodgers, so we could work something out! ____________________ Currently Riding - 2002 Aprilia RSV1000 Mille |

My bike is nearly 8 feet long. It only just fits in an 8x6 shed.

I spent 2 years living with a Sprinter, and am bored with the mucking around - can't park anywhere, couldn't park at work, endless complaints from neighbors aswell.
Plus diesel costs.
I reckon 95% of the time it'll be used for normal stuff, with 5% for carrying the bike. And for carrying stuff, theres floorspace between the bikes, and it's got a roof rack if I got desperate
Also.....fancy doing Spa next year? ____________________ Currently Riding - 2002 Aprilia RSV1000 Mille |
