a couple of weeks ago we decided that we wanted a holiday (myself and my wife). and i have a lovely GS paris-dakar that we still havent used on a long trip....
but the thing is, my health isnt so great.
i have terrible joints and actual real problems with dislocating them now and then. (i put my shoulder out the day before our winter trip up north!)
its because of a stupid genetic condition I have called Ehlers-Danlos (http://www.ehlers-danlos.org/about-eds/ ... -syndrome/)
anyway, i use a wheelchair on and off because it bloody hurts to walk sometimes.
espesially slow walking in shops and that sort of thing, blurgh!
so my wife being the clever smarty brain that she is, says "why dont you put the wheelchair on the bike?"
thats when a plan formed.

the next step was to make some brackets up on the box.

then i made a rest thing on the top of the box for the axle to sit on.

next step is to make some mounts for the wheels, i will probably make a stub axle type thing with some sort of lock pin.
got to do some work on the bike too, need a brake light switch and a new rear tyre which is ordered and on its way.
got a bit of a route planned out too
it will be from here (near bergen) over to sweden for the first nights camping (possibly wild camping, we shall see).
then the next day its over the bridge, into denmark, then shoot through denmark (BORING!) and try and get into germany for the second night.
after that, we will head down to wolfsburg and check out autostadt. after that 9unsure on how long we will be there, probably camp nearby) we will head into czech republic, the head over to praha, stay there for a few days maybe, then its on down to austria, over the alps and into italy.
thats about how far we have got with planning anyway...
i bloody hope this uploads and doesnt crash!
