Spained Out.

Postby boxerscott » Sun Oct 30, 2022 9:22 pm

So having had a glorious tour of the Iberian Peninsular (again) there is a need to adventure elsewhere, So next year our out of season break will be back to Italy, the south and Sicily. This years tour had its shortcomings, our latest dog had to be kenneled, she is a rehomer (as all our dogs have been) a wee staffie , she is nervous by disposition but the absence of her new normal was unsettling and we therefore decided that next year she was coming with us.

We already knew that distances involved would be too much for us both on the bike ( I listened this time) and decided that we would purchase a trailer and take the Panda and the Dog.

So for our shorter bike rides on tour we need a Dog carrier for the 1250R. Briefly browsing the web I came across this...

I don`t think it is as daft as it may seem , Hannibal crossed the Alps with Elephants.

It may be fun.

Yip, that`s what i`m talking about. Your love wont fit in a top box Al :lol: The Panda 1.3 multijet can do 30 to 60 in 40 seconds towing a braked trailer with a technical permissible mass trailer weight of 900kg.... Smokin`! Unfortunately my Scudo does not have Air con and it has a bloody large sun magnifier in front of occupants!

Quality.
