Carrying a chainsaw and gear on my fazer - thoughts on best option?

[brianjonze]

A slightly leftfield question here, but after a career swerve I now work as a tree surgeon, I have got the main tickets and am working regularly for one firm, just starting to do work up in the trees. In order to expand my experience I may do some subcontractor work around London - for which using the bike would be ideal. My forum request therefore I whether anyone has any experience of carrying around a chainsaw on a bike safely, ideally without removing the bar and chain, so something which encases both, is secure and ideally allows me to lock away some gear on the bike while I work, so I think a hardcase pannier system, no topbox as most of my climbing gear fits nicely into a haul bag which I would strap to the back of the bike..


Any ideas appreciated.


Cheers.

sorry fella, out of ideas for you on this one but someone has made a cool bike out of chainsaws apparently it's-

Hahahaha
you'll want one of those bike courier boxes. http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=motorbike+courier+box&tbm=isch&oq=motorbike+courier+box&gs_l=mobile-heirloom-serp.12...0.0.0.48774.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0..0.0....0...1c..34.mobile-heirloom-serp..0.0.0.cczOSJLrYn0


or a bike metal box, plastic topboxes are commonly broken into around London unfortunately.

Balancing 24 carburetors must be fun!

It was a long shot, thanks for the amusing thoughts guys, I am not keen to put a pizza box on the back of my bike.. More mulling to do, or just get used to taking the bar and chain off daily..

More of a double edged axe man myself, but each to their own.

Ok what about getting a fibreglass case made - a bit like this

Forget that making one idea , you can actually get them, all you need to do is work out how to fit it on the bike

Top box! Easily get one in mine and you can get larger ones!

You could put a scabbard over it but is the time you're saving by not taking the bar off really worth the risk? It's only one or two bolts. I'd take the bar off for peace of mind. Do you carry your full kit and ropes on a bike?
