Hi saw a lorry the other day with a great big wood chipper stuck on the front and it got me thinking, why not put the m/c carrier on the front rather than the back?
Advantages are weight at the front, not right at the back on the big overhang we all have effecting our stability.
Disadvantage is the effect this would have on the cooling of the engine, not something the DP guys would have to worry about.
I realise it would look strange but apart from the cooling problem any other reason why not?
Hi Olley;
If the worst came to the worst and you hit a pedestrian, think of the extra damage a bike strapped on the front would do (to the pedestrian that is )

I've seen photo's of it done in the states but I'm not sure that it's legal over here. Comes under the regs about protrusions on the front of vehicle I think.
i.e, no more chrome jaguars on the bonnet.
errr, and before you ask Mercedes and Rolls get away with it because the emblems have swivel mountings
On a certain caravanning site (T and T) I got vilified for having a plastic bull bar on the front on my Disco and of course when I moved up to the RV got the same re the Chris Cox A frame.
Oh how I would love to turn up to one of their rallies now with my bike on the front and a car on the back
You take this subject too lightly Paul,
Have you any idea how difficult it is to get pedestrians out of bike spokes you could finnish up needing a pressure washer
