Bikes & Rifles..

[rhyslightnin]

Right, I'm now the proud owner of a lovely shiny old motorcycle and I want to take my nice new to me bike to the bash as it's a brilliant excuse to have a nice long run. My question is is it:

A: legal to carry my 77 on a motorcyclebikmotorcycle

And B: how do I carry my full length 77 on my motorcycle..

Both interesting question which would be great to solve as mixing my two favourite Hobies together would be great

Thanks all in advance for your input!

It is perfectly legal. I used to carry one on my back in a gun slip. Not the greatest idea TBH, it could have caused me increased risk of injury if I fell off.

These days I'd probably take the stock off and put it in a short case strapped behind the top box.

As long as it’s covered by a slip ,go anywhere you want mike

Yep, as the chaps above say, Rhys, completely legal.

However, you'd have to question how practical and safe it would be on a longer trip. What about any extra paraphernalia you may also want / need to carry? And what about if you were tempted by any bargains on the sales table?

What bike you got then, dude?

Get a side car Rhys, I could be bringing a fare bit for the table

one of the rucksack type gun slip/bags would be better than the single strap type. just watch it does not hit your helmet (ooer missus )

If it's a black softail you should be fine,"I need your clothes your boots and your motorcycle"

This would work.

Besides, you can't just take one gun to the bash.
People would look at you suspiciously!!

That's not a bad idea..... Be much more waterproof too.... I kinda felt like it would be better strapped to the bike. Be even better if it was locked too, I'd be less bothered popping in to a service station to pay for fuel if it was locked in an inconspicuous box on the bike as apposed to going into a garage with it strapped to me back....
Thanks for that!

This is how our Taid, grandad, and his mates managed. No engine either.
