Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

ya thats it! i liked that not only would it work for a hitch carrier but they have a stand so it can be a bike stand to work on it! the other plus would be if my truck ever needs to go in for what ever maintenance at the dealer i can just carry the bike up and leave the truck lol

 

Yup! I have though about getting one myself, but have two trailers and don’t mind using them. I use the smaller 4x6 for the bike. Just works better.

old pic. old bike.

 

You mean my old bike

still pissed at work for having to sell it

 

that is an adorable little trailer lol

but ya thats why i haven't bought it... i was given the utility trailer from my grandfather so might as well get it ready to use for bikes and anything else i might need to use it for

veeeery old image of the trailer atm it has no decking or siding to it and the wiring has been removed. it needs new decking wiring and then tires and it will work as i need it to for a small utility trailer and a bike trailer

 

was that really your old bike lol

 

No…. My old bike, which became Your new bike, which you sold (had too). And got another bike.

Just fun’n yea.

 

Yeah, Bill gave me a once in a lifetime deal. Then work started asking about "extreme activities" on our yearly employee health screening for insurance. I sold the bike b/c I couldn't afford the increase in cost or lose it b/c of my diabetes. They asked for 2 years and then haven't asked since....so I bought the Rally

 

And I'm still salty bout it

Sept 22nd-24th is the Big Frog Loop. Camping at Jack's River Falls campground

 

dang thats dumb!

 

It was complete bullshit. I had that bike almost finished.

 

putting a little shop there wouldn't be a terrible idea...could turn it into a moneymaker for yourself if you're mechanically inclined. Know a few guys who do work for a few enthusiast communities out their backyard.

of course you had to find it. i might have to return my carrier and snag this one...same pricing, lower weight limit but still plenty enough for my dirtbike, might not need an extension either with how it's designed....

damn you all lmao

 

Calls my junk adorable……

What the sam hell. Haha

That little aluma 486, got a 2” lift a few months after purchase. I use the piss outta it. The larger 6x12 only gets used when needed.

 

What do you mean extreme? We all ride these around like grandpas...right??

 

Right on! Read up on some reviews though. A lot of good and some bad. The bad were talking about the anti rattle bolt stripping out or breaking. I’d still do it though if I was really looking for one. Peeps have modded them as well.

oh yeah, we like to spend other people’s monies.

 

Lol gonna have to take a deep dive tonight and see if it'll work.

The only issue I foresee is clearance. My truck is lifted, hitch receiver is also recessed in the bumper, and I have the oversize spare tire to consider as well. It looks like it should have enough clearance to fit without any straight extensions, though I may need a drop extension to get it low enough. Or just muscle the bike up onto it lol, as I'm not sure the drop extension would fit in the recessed hitch.

 

Rite rite. They make a roll on version that appears to drop lower. And jacks up just as high (i think). Of course a little more money for that one.

 

Yeah, I pretty mech gave it away. But it made you happy, and I was good with that.

 

ya i dont blame ya man... thankfully my work dont ask about stuff like that so wahooo

i dont really work on other peoples stuff unless its a friend and they need a hand or just the tools... a shop would be nice but since i plan to sell my house and buy one in a different county id rather not waste 12k on a shop that wouldnt get used by me lol

hey hey it was gonna be either him or me lmao so now you gots to spend that cash!

i mean look at it!

it does look super useful for just about anything thou. i have no idea what size my trailer im working on is lol

ya sure

 

Haha. I’m just messing with you. I use it primarily behind the jeep. less weight at 260-80lbs. (I think) vs almost 800lbs on the 6x12 before loading it up.

and yes, I’ve heard the, it’s cute, too.

 

Kids! What are you gonna do with ‘em. My oldest girl messaged me a few ago.

Dad, does my bike work?
Dunno.
What do you mean?
Well, your state inspection is 4 yrs. dead. And your tags (license plate), are 2 years dead. But I’ll hook up the battery tender for you.

Dang kids will not listen to get right.
