Motorcycle-FRIENDLY Chairs

MOTORCYCLE-FRIENDLY CHAIRS

(Wojay sez: Most of these chairs roll up or fold down into a cylindrical shape 27” or less, making them practical to strap onto a motorcycle. Others fold to small rectangular shapes that may word for baggers. For comfort’s sake, read the desciptions carefully and pay attention to the dimensions, especially the width. If you’re wide in the beam or just big all over, you’ll be squeezed in the narrower chairs.)
