OK I know this is stoopid, but...

Post by Kirk » Sun Jun 08, 2008 6:49 pm

As most, or at least some of you would know, I just bought a Suzuki TL1000R, I know, I know, Blasphemy right ??!! Anyway I've been having trouble selling the TRX; probably because it's the start of winter here, but it's still annoying because it's a great bike, and it deserve's to be ridden, not sat in my shed. Ok I had a few beers tonight and something stupid my dad said made me think; hey why not, a trx could make a good sidecar outfit!!!? To my defense it has been done before!

Whats your thoughts? Should I keep trying to sell it, or do something ridiculous (but possibly fun!)?

unless you need to sell it, keep it IMO, make it your own.

wel it doesn't need to lean and car tyres are a hell of a lot cheaper and last longer. Why would you not? Common on proper trike/side car conversions.

The sidecar picture has a NO and a YES to me.

NO..... in a way it's hiddious :roll:

YES.... for someone who wants a REX with a sidecar :D


What to do with a 'left alone in the dark spot in the shed' REX..... turn it in to a racer and GO!! 8)
