It's a pain getting it up and down again. Takes me 30 minutes to get it up and tie it all down properly

I'm looking forward to getting a trailer as soon as I can.

Is that on your own?

Surely 5 mins with two people?

I normally use the work van, but not always sure I'll get it and fed up of taking tools out, then loading it back up.

Two people needed to lift the kart to the rack then I tied it down with 4 small ratchets and 1 large one on my own. Kart had no engine to make it lighter, but it was still pretty heavy getting it over the head.

Van/trailer would be so much better as you can roll the kart in fully prepared and not spend half and hour putting engine back on and connecting it all up.

My kart only weights 69kg with fuel. Not like you boys.

Was thinking about putting it on the van roof rack but that would be even harder. The sh!t we do for fun :rolleyes:
