...ive seen a couple of guys at mtb races with inline bike racks, mounted to the pannier attachments. Hold a bike pretty damn well! In the process of making my own- will keep you posted...

I'll be interested to see this, stick some photos up when you start, beauty of the trailer means I can take 2 bikes and a buddy on pillion.

And apparently More. Stuff than Steve D haha

Well done looks great. One question... the pipe you used for the tow hook on the bike looks suspiciously like electrical conduit? if so conduit isn�t very strong and or suitable.

High Redbikejohn, well spotted, I originally used electrical conduit but the wall was so thin it was very weak. I basically used it to get all the measurements correct. Then I found a length of pipe in the stores at work that was miles sturdier. It is 20mm OD, 12mm ID really heavy duty and galvanished inside and out. I think it's for compressed air or something similar, it weighs alot but it's so much sturdier, I had trouble fabricating the hoop you can see, the pipe bender was ok but to flatten the ends where it mounts to the passenger footpeg I had to get it red hot with a blow torch and squash it with a hydraulic bearing press.

It ain't going nowhere now.

Plenty strong enough, possibly overkill, as the wall thickness of the tubes that make up the pillion footrest that it's attached to are just 1.5mm!

Haha true, that hoop is much longer though. And tbh was more a case of hmmmm what's lying around. Oooo that'll do haha so far the whole thing stands me at �45

�10 lights
�8 refectory kit
� 7 cable,
�9 electrical connectors
�11 paint and brushes.
Plugs, towball and hitch were given to me.
As.where wheels and Indespension units. And mudguards.
All steelwork is offcuts and scrap from where I work.
Hence the gypsy trailer.

All you need now are some hoops and a canvas tilt and you'll be able to sleep in it... maybe a trailer tent?

Like it. The tenere gypsies

nice project look forward to seeing more of the trailer. Curious what are the legal requirements for towing with a motorbike when it comes to license etc

To be honest I have no idea, motorcycle towing laws in UK state that you can tow with any motorcycle with an engine over 125cc capacity so I'm guessing you could tow even on a restricted license?? I've yet to find any info regarding license requirements.

Tbh I got fed up of looking, spent a few hours trawling direct.gov websites, and practicing my Googlefoo but to no avail.

And I thought about sleeping in it but its too small for my portly figure haha, but you could easily make a trailer tent under the weight requirements, maybe next winter I'll do that haha.
