Thanks guys. Anyone given some thought to a hide away aframe? One that slides out when you need it. Cause really who are we fooling, The DarkSide had more km on the clock being towed than under its own power! A frames are like fan belts, points and oil; never leave home with out them.
I had some ideas but would like to know your thoughts...

And would you say that the close to the wheels the aframe attaches, the easier it is to make sharp turns at parking lot speeds.

In other words, at sub-warp speeds.
