NO!!!! But I can see where you're coming from. My Monocle Lift is home-made, and a lot better than the one featured in the clip, in that it has swivelling flat plates for the tyre to rest on, not the sharp corners of commercially available ones, which I would imagine could wreak havoc with the cords of your tyre treads. I have seen several different makes of lift on eBay, but I don't know how many get sold, maybe I should knock up a few more and try selling them, who knows, might be a little gold mine ;-) Regards, Iain.

Daughter says she would ride it, but as I'm taking a load of her stuff plus the moggy, so she'll be coming with me in the car with the moggy on her lap. Think I'll take the chain off, just in case. :-) Iain.

Hi, My daughter is moving (to Manchester) and wants me to transport her Virago. I have transported other bikes around locally using a "Monocle Lift", which holds the front wheel and allows the rear wheel to run on the road (similar to ), but I have not yet travelled this far or as fast as I will have to (130 miles at 60 MPH), so I am a bit concerned about overheating or otherwise damaging the gearbox by thrashing its guts around at high speed without the engine running. My question is: will the gearbox be lubricated sufficiently by being rotated by its output sprocket, or should I remove the chain so the gearbox does not rotate. Regards, Iain, in Rugby
