First True Motorcycle Teardrop

Postby papayolk » Mon Oct 03, 2011 9:04 pm

The teardrop is a model of design efficiency: Bed, galley, aerodynamic. How can it be improved upon? All efforts are tinker and fluff, until now. The teardrop is to long to pull with a bike and looks silly, until now. My Idaho Bedroll (patent pending) prototype is three feet nine inches long and weighs less than 1/3 of the 800cc pull bike.

[size=150] I took out the TV because where I'm headed it's hard to even get radio. Pulls sweet through the twesties. Light with a center of gravity lower than a set of truck nuts. The deep-cell is slung down between the half-axles and the gun locker is right over the running gear. The cargo bed is only 24â€

You had me at 'gun locker'...

That's a nice little rig.

That is truly amazing. I remember you talking about it in the past and I have to say I could not picture how you could do it. But now here it is and it is everything you said. :thumbsup:

That's really inventive. Can we have some photos of it on its own, so we can see how it extends and where the supports go?

Absolutely amazing!! The picture string is really a fake out.. I am thinking a cool MC cargo hauler till I scroll down to the thing opened up!! Wow!! Are you able to keep it water proof while inside? I'm with Andrew, Please show us how this thing works??

Great innovation....

:applause: :thumbsup:
