      Hey, Think the bike should be called ARROW. Bow and Arrow.

    Nice one Jake. I reckon the bike needs to be called Hobo (Ho for Honda and Bo in honour of the van) and hobo is nomadic like yourself.

    Invest in 2 ratchet straps for the bike. Far more stronger, and a lot more secure. Dont forget a decent lock for the bike to lock it to the carrier.

    Electrics, tailboard for legal reasons and pipe lagging cable tied to the bike post at the back to save any accidental damage. You might also want to add a bike cover strapped over because you know how much muck gets thrown up the back of a van on a wet crappy winter drive. Great video, love what your doing 😎🤘 What about calling the bike " AS" then together they can be AS Beau ( ASBO) 😉

  • @tonysutton6559

    Have you had it weighed again with the bike on the back to check that you aren't over the rear axle limit? If you want to test that nothing falls off, just nip over the border into South Staffs where there is more pothole than actual road in places.

    • @JakesJourneyMate

    Your bike's plate is HRM so Herman would be a good name.
    If you park on the top of a hill could get your leg over on your patio the top of your van and passerbys wouldn't know (unless they've got a drone) 😲
