Nice! However, it is beyond me how you guys on that side of the pond get away with stuff like this. In Europe you would be looking at a hefty fine and endorsements......

Would a back up gas can be smaller and more practical? Just saying LOL ::022::

Nice set-up. Do you also bring a strap to tow your Tenere with your bike? If so, I would like to see a picture of your legs...
BTW, we are almost neighbours.

Hey Kenworth,
Do you get as many requests for pictures as I do? I'm always getting my picture taken on highways and when I'm stopped, people always ask. I love the setup!! It's always a conversation starter wherever I go.

Why would this be an issue over in Europe? The bike is very secure and barely affects the handling. Not near as much as a 140 pound passenger squirming around. I have passed plenty of police but none have ever questioned it.Dogdaze said:

Because in much of the world a vehicle has to be kept nearly stock. No running aftermarket mufflers, no knobby tires, and certainly not something like this which extends beyond the vehicle. A quick Google search gives this safety example from Singapore:

The following requirements must be met when replacing tyres: a) Every wheel of a vehicle shall be fitted with a pneumatic tyre that must be of the correct width, profile and diameter as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. b) The tyres must not protrude from the vehicle body laterally. c) The overall rolling radius of the original wheels and tyres should not be altered. Note: Off-road tyres are not allowed for use on normal roads (e.g. slick tyres, semi-slick tyres, cross-country tyres for rugged terrain, etc). |

Because a motorcycle comes from the factory with a passenger seat, and if a passenger squirms around that is not against the law, dump the passenger. However, your set up would be considered an unsafe load, does not matter how secure it is, it extends far beyond what the manufacturer allowed for when building the machine. This law can be applied to almost any vehicle on the road. In Europe they often do road side safety checks/stops, checking tyres, lights etc, even if a child is secure in a child seat, and until recently in Switzerland, you had to carry a spare pair or prescription glasses if you need corrective lenses of any kind...... just in case.10éréRider said:
