Roof Box On My B

[speedtripledan]

After stafford last year i decided i needed a trailer for camping with the kit, but on reflection i didn.t want to be restricted to towing speeds on the motorway so opted for this. I have had the roofbox for yrs so i thought it a shame not to use it,

The frame bolts on or off in less than 5mins and leaves no visable bolt holes when not on. £16 worth of steel and a bit of time...

 

 

Didn't look as bad as i thought it would either

Thats smart Dan, would love to see that on the road but it would mean you will be dedicated transporter for everyones tents!

If your old enough you'll understand----- "Just needs a Meekon half sticking out the top"

Dan, I'll need to take a closer look at your setup as I've always hanckered after a roof rack assembly for mine to carry the surf board

Not old enough have no idea what you were referring to

See Stewart's post; they were the comics of the 50's ;standard issue was Beano Or Dandy for us common folk,richer kids had the Eagle (with Dan Dare -- Pilot of the Future & his arch enemy The Mekon)to get a copy of the Eagle cost 2 Beanos/Dandys so I could only read an Eagle once a fortnight.The Mekon flew around in boxes like yours.

I speak as I found (at the time) believe Beano/Dandy was 2d per copy & Eagle was 6d (conversion for young'uns 2d = less than 1p & 6d = 2.5p) so if your budget was 6d you were certainly more "comic rich" than me.

What would 2b get you ?

[fry61]

Methinks I was only half as rich as you thought I was!

Don't let facts get in the way of memories & I wasn't as gifted as you -- reading at 4 if the cover date is on your copy.
