Couldn’t resist 299 posts had to get to 300, Mick are you by any chance selling a set of pw50 bars theirs a set on ebay at hastings.. Isn’t that where you are. Just bought a pw50 and 80 sticker kit for the PW’s.

Chris.

Nope it isn’t me selling the PW bars.
Speaking of trailers, as some of you may know my brother Ant, left for Melbourne on Tuesday towing the KTM530 and the KTM990 ADV on a brand new bike trailer. Well he rang me in a flap yesterday morning as one of the brand new high quality tie downs on the 990 snapped (rated to 300kg) and Ant was lucky enough to look in the rear view to see the big girl hanging out over the side off the trailer,ready to take the final tumble out over the side. The footpeg was all that was holding her in!!
How lucky was he? Considering he had been driving all night and it happened just after day light, if it had happened during the night the first thing he would have seen would be the shower of sparks as the big Kato self destructed on the highway!!!

I took a trip to Adelaide last year, 2 bikes on a rental trailer. When I got back home in the early hours of the morning I found that because the tie downs had been crossed over, mine had worn half way through! That was the one on the inside of the trailer so if it had’ve let go she’d have gone over the side…in the dark! It was also probably the only time I haven’t tied the barkbusters of both bikes together. Live and learn!

Yep lesson learnt.. I saw TB had his tied together when he got to my place, and I remember thinking, “why’d he do that?? Now I know.”

Picking it up this arvo. If it’s really shit I’ll buy another one but I hope it lasts me for a 6 months or so until I can get a fully enclosed one.

I’ve seen 2 bikes (KTM’s) on a 6 x 4 before. It is a squeeze and I know that but most of the time I will only need to fit my bike in.
