Did you ever need wheelie bars in your Bates bags?
« on: December 08, 2015, 11:37:35 AM »
Only about 20 miles away, almost worth going and looking at. I'm thinkin some stronger bag mounts and wheelie wheels may be in order. NO, I am not related to he seller, designer, engineer, test monkey or mechanical think tank behind this one.

With engine and trans behind the rear axle, load up the bags and it's wheelie time.

I think even with Large Marge it's a wheelie barge.

I can't hardly imagine just how awful it must be to be alternately sweatin' and jigglin' in those bowling alley seats.

Also.... needs more cow-bell.
