Project HouseBus : Can Lilly come to ?

If you know me and Michelle, you’ll know that one of the things we really enjoy is riding together on our Triumph Tiger 800 XCX, affectionately named Tiger Lilly, or Lilly for short.

We felt that it was so important to bring her along for our trip, so we can explore all over New Zealand and enjoy adventurous rides on our favorite girl!

Since I drive both the bus and the motorcycle, we realized we needed a ramp. And, well, Lilly isn’t exactly a lightweight—sorry Lilly, but you’re about 230 kg soaking wet! There aren’t many bike racks made for that, but we had an idea.

With help from Jack at WIS, who brought our vision to life.

We still have some finishing touches to add, but it looks great and is easy to remove for that pesky COF.

Once we sort out the latch points, it’ll be all set. The rack is securely welded into the bus chassis, so I’m confident it will carry its precious cargo for many kilometers across this beautiful country.
