Hauling an MTB on a motorbike?
Hi guys,
After a year of traveling and a year of living like a beach bum, I've got a decent job. So again a decent cash flow.
However, it is a nightmare with PT and traffic jams. Comes in, a motorbike. I have not yet owned a bike and i'm looking round now. I have a feeling for a decent Transalp. Looks sturdy, comfy ride everyday to the office and lot of luggage hauling is easy.
This is the main issue. My main sport is mountainbiking, so i need to move my bike around ALL the time. I do not own a car and I can't afford both a bike and a car. A bike will give me an easy and fun ride to the office... but where to stow the MTB?
I've googled some image;

Which looks very creative, but it looks... rather weird.
So, in short.
- any experiences with this?
- are these bike racks off the shelf of do I need to weld it myself?
- How is driving a motor in this setup?
I do not need to go very far with it.. about a 60 ~75 minute drive max (with highway parts!). If needed because of speed issues, í'm willing to drive secondary roads, it is not that far but will of course take longer .
Love to hear any thoughts on this.
Alexander
