Good tip I do with my SeaSicker with my road and tri bikes is to mount the bike to the SeaSucker on the ground first, then lift everything onto the roof. :-) great vid!

@brawbob2 жыл бұрын
Aw thats so obvious that I never considered it. Hardest part of the whole process is steadying the bike while I attach the through axle to the mount. GENIUS! Will try on my next outing, thank you!

I received my 2 Sea Suckers yesterday. It's winter here in Germany, so I probably won't be getting much use until the summer. I'll use them on our Shelby GT500, Mach E and Focus RS, yep a Ford family. Gonna love these things when we go to our house in Spain as we can use them on the rental cars and eventually the Focus RS when I move that one there in the summer.

@@PIPSBURGHVIEWS honestly only like the c6 and c7. Front of the c8 is ok but the rear kills it. C7 rear almost killed it for me. Love your M4 though. My favorite M car is definitely the E60 M5 V10 but obviously reliability issues will never let me have one. But a E92 M3 V8 is second. Imo it was the most aggressive looking M3 from the normal 3 series body style.
