Skylab - video clipette #1
This motorcycle conversion functions as a school bus/heavy transporter, again I've never seen one larger than 155cc (why do we need such absurdly large capacity bikes for off-road/unsealed roads in Australia?). Strong timber is lashed to the twin downtubes of the frame infront of the engine and a similar shaft is attached through the frame at the rear. Ladder -style seats are attached to the timbers to form banks of seats or as a platform for heavy loads - say 4 x 50kg bags of rice or 10 children (two behind the rider and 6 - 8 on the seats). A 'skylab' has a room fitted to keep passengers and loads dry...
