The van weighs quite a bit, cast iron 2.5 litre diesel motor up front and a 10 gallon water tank plus all the internal fittings.

To be honest you don't notice it driving along, unlike a trailer, the rear down view mirror helps keep an eye on things too.

They look great & a good price too £69 bargain - Wil make few enquiries, as looks like a brilliant way to get the bike up to the Highlands.

I have ridden through Glencoe on my Cub, when I did the Mad Moped Run 2011 and the views were breath taking.

Just thought i would add a picture that sums up the weather that the Highlands have had now for over a month
22nd of May - Stuck on Rannoch Moor for 2 hours , in Rain, snow temp around 5 degrees & gale force winds shock:

Definately would have been an adventure on a C90 :lol:
