I've heard of people putting them in the back seat of a mini.

Personally i have had one in the back of NAV and wasn't too tough.
I was thankful that i hadn't lowered the back. Still haven't

I strapped a recently machined block onto the back of a postie bike to get it home accross Brisbane once.
I had to put my feet out when turning to stop falling over like the motorcross guys do, it was also the only time it ever wanted to wheel stand when accelerating.

That was totally irresponsible and very dangerous - I like it!!!

Lol - would have needed a wheelie bar too I think.

I've carried several by taking the passenger seat out and putting it in the back and sitting the motor on the floor of the passenger side , it sit's well and you can use the seatbelt to help steady it but no fast cornering or it's likely to come into your lap ....

we put one in the passenger seat space of dad's convertible minor, passenger seat on the back seat... he said it had never handled better :lol:

I wheeled it in with my crane, and he lifted it out through the roof with a block and tackle and drove out from under it when he got home...

how about this...
