Hi, has anyone ever fitted a towbar to a Steamer for a small bike trailer? The girlfriend wants to come to a few summer rallies but me+luggage+girlfriend= cramped bike and cutting down on what i can take. :(
Any help on how to fabricate one or where to buy one in the UK would be helpfull.

Bloody expensive but should give you some ideas.  Just a note on safety for a moment though (I can't help it if I'm terminally retentive....) this something that could go horribly wrong for you or any following vehicles. Don't skimp on the quality of either the materials, or the welder that puts them together.

Got my Tigger romper suit from Primark the other day to dress up in as the bimp suit chaffs when on the bike.... LOL (dont ask but be scared, be very scared!!!!)

Should go well with the high heels and suspenders.
