Louise-Paisley Posted March 2, 2014 Author Share Posted March 2, 2014 yeah, security guard keeps an eye on my stuff for me.. I often go in summer with the kite buggy or the mountain boards strapped to it when its dry and breezy so they are used to me turning up with bizarre loads LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistonhead Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I'm waiting to see what he'll do if he gets a largescale... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise-Paisley Posted March 2, 2014 Author Share Posted March 2, 2014 Well I manage to get a 9m kite (medium rucksack), an 11m kite (large rucksack), a 3 wheel kite buggy (1.6m x 1.2m x0.55m) and a mountain board (1.2m x 0.4m x 0.2m) hooked up on the bike to go kite buggying so I don't think a fifth scale MT will throw me LOLOL Having said that it is an absolute pig getting up hills LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PraetoR Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Good effort! Though that's a lot of trust you're putting in that security guard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitroholic Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 If you get a 5th scale....you just need a different carrier I carry a 1/5 buggy plus all the gear on the back of my Yamaha with a home made carrier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smackers Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I used to use a mountain bike alot from my teens but over the years i used a bike less and less and now not at all. After my foot ops later this year i hope to be able to use my bike again, have kept it in storage along with a trailer which i could use for carrying about my RC gear.

Louise-Paisley Posted March 3, 2014 Author Share Posted March 3, 2014 I sold my car a few years ago during a particularly unpleasant time unemployed, It was costing me near on a grand a year just to park it outside in the street with insurance, tax, mot etc Now I am trying to avoid getting another, I don't really NEED one and it has to be healthier walking/ cycling rather than sitting/ driving - well apart from yesterday when I very nearly died of hypothermia after a trip to Halfords LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oodboo Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 If you do get a 5th scale just attach it to the front hob and let it pull you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samuran Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 That is one of the funniest things I've seen in a long while... You could get one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-LUGGAGE-TRAILOR-FOR-THE-BACK-OF-PUSH-BIKE-TRAILER-/190530134232?pt=UK_SportGoods_CyclAcces_RL&hash=item2c5c7b20d8 or one of those ones for little kids and modify it (possibly much cheaper).

Louise-Paisley Posted March 3, 2014 Author Share Posted March 3, 2014 Crazy though that may seem, I have considered a trailer. Unfortunately though I live in a one bedroom flat up four flights of stairs and the prospect of carrying the thing up and down as well as the bike and whatever is going in the trailer is not hugely appealing. Then I have the problem of a one bedroom flat, 3 rc trucks, 2 rc multicopters, 4 large kites, 3 mountain boards, a kite buggy and all the materials needed to make a dozen different cat toys along with packaging boxes, layflat tube for making the bags, guillotines, printed leaflets, manuals & header cards which is what pays for all of the above - trying to squeeze myself in the door is a task, let alone fitting a bloody bike trailer in LOLOLOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
