    one you could beef it up.

    not only are you going to have to haul your bike plus gear and spares and fuel
    theres a bit more weight..
    yer what? He's not doing an alpine crossing. Alloy swing arm. . . C' mon you're grasping at straws. Either way it's a pants idea & we"re wasting time on it
    Don't you look at my accountant.
