Recently been considering taking PPG equipment to the field on it. Where d'you put your wing? Dan I put pg on shoulders as normal,slacken straps so rusack just sits on the pillon seat.nice & comfty that way.on the ninja you had to sit upright which was a pain to reach the handlebars, in normal race rep mode you had the weight of the pg on your back so long journeys were a pain.if you have a rack on the bike strap pg to it even better, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you meant your PPG on the back. I have thought about putting the motor on the pillion seat and the wing rucksack on the front (wearing back to front) to go the short distance to the field.

jock Posted June 26, 2011 Author Share Posted June 26, 2011 To transport all your ppg kit by bike.a bike trailer would be the answer.you can get towbars for most bikes these day.its a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coggie49 Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Speaking from personal experience with bike trailers, you do need to get them just right with balance and ride height, or you can be in for one really big white knuckle ride, not nice at all. My advice would be buy don't build your first trailer, the cost of the trailer is cheaper than bike repairs, and if your unlucky bones!!!!!
