What kind of haulers and trailers are you guys using when you need to haul a bike...when riding is not an option...?
I know, hauling a bike is not acceptable to most if the bike is running. But in my case there have been a number of times I have had to get bikes I have bought, or need to work on that don't run.
Or Because it's winter.....an endless winter....
I got this 1990 3/4 ton Dodge for $1000....found out after crawling under it.....it original had been in Arizona most all it's life (a old registration deep in the glove box confirmed it). NO RUST ANYWHERE UNDERNEATH!!!!! I had to buy it. After getting it home, I looked closer and it's got a 360 instead of the more common 318....Thing pulls like a freight train, but used a small fortune in gas when I took it to Virginia, to pick up a couple bikes on Thanksgiving.
Biggest reason I went the van route over a trailer is keeping the bikes out of the weather while hauling. And I am planning on doing some track days again this year (and ECTA), after way too many years of leaving my track bike collecting dust. So the bikes can be safe, locked up in the van at night while I'm at a hotel.
I have set it up for two bikes, and my girl friend bought me a kick ass ramp for it already...but..........
I'm looking for ideas to make this hauler ready for any kind of biking event, or need.....
Ideas.....?
