Finally made it to Missouri last week and got the bike ready to travel. Was a little concerned that the platform was a little to close to the car. I put the car on and then rode the bike on, no frame twist or any problems. The motorhome did not lower any in the rear. Got the bike tied down and then inspected the whole set up. Was concerned the car on the turn plate might hit the bike, but after 300+ miles today, no problems. Am a happy camper, going to have expanded metal put down on for a floor and some way to anchor the ramp instead of using bungee cords. Total cost is as follows: 400 for dolly, 800 for all the welding and fabricating, 150 for new tires/Wheels and 50 more for misc. So total of 1400.00 for a motorcycle carrying tow dolly, I am a happy camper.
We arrived at Baileyton RV Park in Baileyton, Tn this afternoon. The dolly did fine, no problems with bearings,etc.. The motorhome seems to ride level and I notice no frontend float or steering problems, being an extra 4 ft long, it is a little difficult at some gas stations like Pilot, etc. Did notice that one of tires seems to be wearing on the outside edge, not sure what would cause that, but will ask at a local tire shop. Seems to be a good investment and does what I need it to do.
