Bike Hauling

[ken&ellen]

Ellen & I use the Vee nosed trailer and try to tailor our trip around the Harley.
On trips were we do not plan a ride we, like Tom, take the Jeep. Our trailer has a dressing area for the riding gear. Besides keeping the bike clean and dry we pad lock the doors for security purposes. If the weather goes belly up at a distant destination........we rent a economy car! Ken & Ellen

1. Prevost engineer's comment: He is not comfortable at all with this option. He said that this installation will create great forces and bending moments in the structural members and it may results in vibrations and also structural damages. He also mentioned that by moving the trailer hitch is not a good idea either.

2. I have always like the SRT10 so it was my first interest. Then thinking about it, I am in the Bio-Diesel transport biz and should support it with a diesel, so I called Ford and they told me F150 and F250 are not flat towable. Doesn't anybody like me? What diesel pick ups are towable?

3. After just buying the coach, yes...so I can go riding in other places then flat old Florida. Well I am not ready to spend another 10 grand right now. I like now nor do I want the hassel of going into camps with a trailer.. I am still a virgin so not sure what I mean, but I thought the pick up idea was easy. We have a Land Rover Sport I would put in the trailer with the bike if I went that way. Sooooooo confused. Thought I would just trade in the Land Rover and it would be easy. I also dont like the thought of my bike being dirty. You guys are not helping.

4. We are travelling with our pets..my wife wants a 4 wheeler there in case of anything. The rental sound good if available. Maybe just get a small enclose bike trailer that I can sell when I upgrade to a stacker. Anything I should be aware of having a small trailer flopping behind me?

5. Maybe I will win the lotto this week and then it won't matter. Does anyone have this coming weeks winning numbers?

"TO FLAT TOW AN F150 YOU WILL NEED A NEUTRAL TOW KIT."
So the first Ford guy wanted me to buy a Dodge or Chevy!

Any 2WD, rear wheel drive P-U is towable 4 wheels down, with the correct equipment.
