Modern Vespa

I read the Wiki concerning the fixing points for the MP3.
Saturday I go for Holland is around 450 KMs up north.

Are these procedures and points still correct or is there un 'upgrade'?

What else do I take care of?

I will remove my Topcase and the Top of mt airflow wind schield.

Anything else ?

Thanks for your advices.

André.

The Wiki is a good guide.
I use them all the time for Trailer'ing of my MP3's.

Since I took this picture, I have since put two Angle Bars on the Rear tire to keep it from sliding side to side. The Condor Chock's on the Front do a Fantastic Job.

Thanks Keith,

I have no flat platform like you so I presume side sliding of the rear wheel will be no problem.

The fronts I will tie up in the metal stabilators. There where you use the Condor's.

I worried more about the tilt lock since Wiki wrote to disengage when tying up.
But do I after fixing the front side firmly , have to activate the tilt lock again????

Could not find, or missed an answer.....

leave the tilt lock off, this way the suspension can absorb bumps. when cinching down the front end do not fully compress it only go about 65-70% same with the rear.
your going to have to figure out how to use the rails on that trailer as that trailer is designed for 2 wheel bikes. that will be your biggest obstacle to overcome.

Thanks OAD,

Good to know this. I imagined stg like that but wasn't sure.

On my firs picture you see the rails as I use it now.

Good for 'the little one, Peugeot Elyseo 50cc' and for the BIG one as well.
The outside two rails have the correct distance for the front wheels. The back is centered perfect.

I have two ramps to get on it, since the front Jockey wheel of the trailer can get up very high, the back end of the trailer is steady on the ground as well.

The only thing is to find out about the weight center so that I have between 25 and 50 kgs pressure on the car attach hook.

Perhaps that means I have to move the rails some fore- or backwards.
Nice job to find out on a 'before easter friday'
But I hope that the trailer manufacturer already used it's brains. ;-)

To all of you
Happy Easter and safe rides.

looks good from the rear loaded on the trailer.
