Technical Question about Women's Weight
 

Bet ya wonder what THIS has to do with Roadsters, right?

Lookit what I found here on the forum:

Now, my question. See, I may have my Roadster in a parade this month, but the girl who will be riding up there is 8 years old and weighs about 45 pounds - if that. It never occured to me to allow someone over 100 pounds to sit there.

Is this a good idea?

It depends on what her relationship is to you......(or what you want it to be)...:rolleyes:

I'm talking about her weight on that door/cover thingy the top is under.

I dont' intend to kiss her legs or nothin.

(This WAS a serious thread...)

Okay.... I have seen a few pics of gals riding on the back of the roadster. None of them looked overly heavy and didnt appear to hurt the car. I also believe that one of the members used, or loaned, his for use in a parade.

sheeeeeesh!

Well, I have not really looked over the mechanism for the lid yet. I had concerns that the downward pressure of a person might threaten either the hydralics or sensors associated with the top.

But I DID think I'd participate in THIS upcoming parade as the little girl is 7 years old and can't weigh more than 35 or 40 pounds.

I can't remember if the lid rests on a "stop" or relies on the hydralics to stop it's downward travel.

I'm anxious to hear legitimate responses on this topic as well. I'll be driving a teen pageant winner in an upcoming parade. I plan to put a folded up blanket or small pillow between the roll bars for her to sit on. Looking it over I don't see anything that would be damaged.

:D You can nail a 2X4 through the lid and into the truck floor as a brace! That will prevent any damage.

pehhaps if shes small enough, she could sit closer to the cross brace that sits atop the fuel tank

All "Technical Question about Women's Weight" are answered last door on the left, follow the signs to the hall marked "Dead Man Walking"

I'd not let any one, any size for any reason sit on the back like that. It's not safe for the rider and the mechanical issues would be expensive to repair if something dumb happens. Kids crawl around, car's behind don't quite stop in time and riders shift or fall. The "oh gosh I am so sorry" isn't going to cover the bill to get it made right, the injury to a person would be way worse. Tell them the insurance company said not covered can't loan it out and am so sorry.

Your playing with fire pal! First Man Law Rule never use the words women and weight in the same sentence.
