Must be crazy top heavy!  I definitely wouldn’t want to ride it on a windy day.

Yes! Though I prefer my bikes with two wheels?

I do feel like they could have found a way to get it a little lower (concerned about blocking plate/taillights?)

That is an interesting solution to a problem that nobody knew existed.

Who is buying Rolf wheels in 2020? They were popular in  2002.

I seriously thought about building a single-tire trailer to drag a kayak behind my bike but that seemed like a terrible idea when I actually started to draw it out.

I resume there is a way to str ap the front wheel to the bike itself maybe? I dunno.

I thought the same thing about the height. It’s obvious ly custom, and they could’ve gotten the bike like a foot lower.

Couldn’t tell you, I know jack squat about bikes.

That could go really bad, really fast.

I mean, you could have added 4 wheels to the kayak... would probably have required sticking couple of axles through the kayak... but you know.. .details

Dafuq you do with the front wheel?

Best I can figure is strap it to the bike itself? Maybe to  the rear wheel?

That was my thought once I started drawing out the geometry needed for a 15' kayak behind my bike.  It wasn’t the weight as it is only 60# but the added trail and wind it’ll catch made me talk myself out of it.

I mean people carry more weight in other single tire bike trailers but just the length of a 15' kayak behind a 500cc bike seemed like it would end up being pretty problematic when I actually started to think hard about it.

Would ya look at that

It looks like you leave it in the grass behind it.

Someone is sure to run into that kayak with all that extra length on the re .

That or just plain be blown over by a stiff breeze.

I’m glad you figured that out at the drawing stage!

I guess you just have to man- up and do all wheelies then.
