Burgman to Newfoundland (ngc)
« on: August 21, 2018, 05:24:15 PM »
No Guzzi content, but I'm finding that if you are secure in your masculinity (oops, how androcentric - I mean secure in your gender identity), there are few better ways to tour two-up than the mighty Burgman 650.

The rear passenger grab bars are very robust. On the boat over to Newfoundland I strapped to the grab rails and also low down on the front forks.

The ship provided industrial straps but also heavy duty cord loops for the bikes sensitive parts.

It didnt move at all.

On a trailer we' ve done the same basic idea, although my friend has some custom-made things that go over the bar ends. Here is the bike strapped onboard.
