In the new issue of L'info-Falia, the <A HREF="http://www.westfalia.qc.ca/CIW_English.asp">IWCCC</A>'s newsletter, there is an 
ad for a "RAKAWEST" bike rack.  This rack connects to the right end of the 
rear bumper in a manner not readily discernible from the pictures.  The bikes 
are carried on an arm that keeps them centred in front of the rear hatch.  
The arm can be swivelled out of the way so that the rear hatch can be opened. 
 Sort of like the bike racks that attach to the trailer hitch by the arm is 
curved and the attaching point is to the far right.  Ad says: Estetique, Very 
Light, Easy to Install, Carries a few bicycles, Variable Angles, Custom Made, 
Made in Quebec, Westfalia Exclusive, Removable in less than one minute, Made 
on Orders, Spring Delivery, Developed for '88 ~ '97 Westfalias, $550 CND.  
Contact RAKAWEST, Jea-Guy Bernier, CIW 1678, "apljgb@globetrotter.net", 
418-354-2497.  Models will be available for viewing at the Grade Rendezvous 
in Shawinigan Falls, September 7 ~ 9.
