Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

i recently upgraded my trailer and i think i only spent about $800

 

Ok i get it. But this is one thing. I need the trailer to fit inside a 19x20 ft garage. I have nowhere to store this trailer otherwise

 

After decking and stuff you can be into the harbor fright trailer for easily half and even less if you wait for one of their 20% sales.

 

i put my bike, trailer, truck, and tools inside my garage. it's a tight fit, the truck hangs over the front of the trailer a little

 

Why not haul it in the truck?

 

Borrow a buddy's ?

 

If i were you, i'd get an actual motorcycle trailer

 

Back to bikes...

1983 Honda V65 Magna (10k miles) and 1999 Duc 996s (7k miles).

 

Ive already lifted the truck close to 3". It's going to be difficult. And I just ordered some bed bars. So the main reason for me getting a truck is now defeated.

Thanks TW, for your mods and group buys

 

i'm short and weak, but i've toyed with the idea of getting one of these:

I like that. I have a 7' folding ramp, but it's not as beefy as that black widow one looks

 

I bought a longer folding ramp and use a bucket as a step when loading in and out of the truck.

They make 8+ft folders too but they get more expensive. They are less headache then dealing with a trailer.

 

Ever look at a hitch hauler?

 

Is that the horizontal one? Or like a Trailer in a bag? Like a single rail

 

This is the kind i want.



Seems like it will be much easier to deal with than a motorcycle trailer or getting the bike into a lifted truck.

 

That.

Most are built to be able to handle the max tongue weight for your hitch (class 3 is 600lb) so any bike that isn't a cruiser should be fine on one.

 

Im going to look into these. But I wonder if it will work with tire gate.

This is the back of my truck

 

Nope.

 

I know your pain. I want to be able to keep my tent on and haul my bike.

So big itd be a pain to haul around while on the road I'd thinj

Eh maybe a little easier but the hitch is still getting pretty high.

Custom fab one to come out further than the tire.

 

comes in 3 pieces, so you don't have to use all of them. i like that it's curved and looks safe to ride up on (that's what she said)
