    Oh bugger! I was just thinking of getting a towbar fitted to my ancient Merc and using a spectacles rack for a little 250.

    Plan B...

    Can't. Bikes live on the street, as does the car, and I have to store anything else in a small pram-shed or under my bed.

    I had a similar issue. No offroad space. I use a collaspable trailer for my XR400. The trailer lives in the boot of the car when not in use!!
