    Has anyone got or knows anyone who sells bicycle racks for motorbikes? Does anyone know if it is legal to carry a bicycle on the back of a motorbike in the UK?

    I am in the process of designing one for my Triumph Bonne T100 incorporating the triumph grab rack.

    Are you doing it on the same axis? Perhaps using the seat as a anchor point and leaving the front wheel highest?

    @dilligaf does a lovely trailer. A safer and legal way of transporting an instrument of torture.

    If you are in the UK you might want to consider the construction and use regs / dangerous load / condition. If you ride down the road with the bike orientated as in the video I would be very surprised if you didn't get stuck on by the Police. As Dillgaf suggests a trailer would be safer in every respect.
