A way to mount two bikes inside a Westie
 -get two fork mounts($30 each at a bike shop, or better, improvise) and
attach them to the storage box
face under the back seat.  Without the front wheels in place, this works
pretty well for my Cannondale MT bike, but,of course only allows for two
to three people to ride, and little movement in the cabin, ...but it's
good for the bikes.
 -alternative is to put one mount on the box face below the back of the
front passenger seat to put the bikes in alternating....
