There is one of these on Facebook near me for £450 that's almost new. If I didn't have a small bike already I'd be getting it.
Suitable motorbike for pulling deer
- Thread starter Birdshot
- Start date
Does it say what make it is? Come on show us a pic.
Aye, 2 wheel drive quad would be bad enough1 wheel drive pulling anything seems like a recipe for disaster
Are you going to be dragging a sled?
I've
I've got a drag mat that will be secured to the back rack with bungee cords........once the beasts has been killed I'll drag it on the mat and have a rope tied to the rack
Couldn't you have secured the sticks crosswise, to stop the bike falling over?
Joking apart, I think you're going to have a lot of fun with that
I could but the idea was to make the motorbike as simple as possible.......when we start throwing a side car into the mix I have to look at storage etc etc.........I'm a solo Stalker I wanna keep my toys to a minimum

That’s cool. I promised our site guys and Pam a robot dog by the end of the year to do surveys and laying out. A man can dream.

How do you stop deer rolling about. Needs to be more a big bag?

This drag mat concept is, as others have pointed out, likely to be difficult to manage.
I speak as one who, as a yoof, devised all sorts of ill-advised trailers to tow behind his 50cc bike (as was common in the country where I grew up).
Why don't you humour/slay the doubters by conducting a dry run, with say a sack of sand to substitute for a deer. See how that rig performs, especially with respect to controllability, and the inevitable compromise you'll have to make on speed (slow enough so the tail doesn't start to wag the dog, but still fast enough to make progress and not be unstable on the bike).
