Hauling our motorcycle

[Z3Driver]

Anyone use this or a similar rig to haul your bike?

Well Larry,
As you might have gathered, that link you posted isn't getting too much praise. I wouldn't use that kind of mechanism if someone paid me to. Yes, I know it's cheap method for hauling M/Cs but, without a doubt, it could also be the most costly if, your M/C rear tire gives up the ghost when you're cruising at around 65 or so. As has been suggested, there's multiple other ways to do it. Heck, I'd even give this one a look-see to see if you might like it. Waaaaaaaaaay better than dragging your nice bike behind your M/H and not knowing what's happening to it. Not to mention all the wear and tear of that entire drive train and you're not even riding it.

But, there's all kinds of means to tote your bike out there besides that mess. Good luck.

I had a similar homemade one that I used a few times. Towed a Vespa from California to North Carolina and back with no problems. Removing the drive chain on the bike would be necessary for any towing over a couple miles.

Search for a decent Kendon trailer. They're light and easy to maneuver.

I tow my Harley Super Glide behind our 24’ Class C on a Kendon single trailer. Tows like it’s not even back there. The long over hang combined with the low profile trailer keeps the bike ding free. Bike and trailer weigh 900#. Towed it over 9,000 miles in 2017, rode it more than 15,000. Works for me!

We already tow a jeep or trailer.

NEVER! At best, you are going to wear out the rear tire. At worst, like said above, the potholes and other road debris kicked up from the towing vehicle will destroy the bike.

If you do any real miles you will definitely wear out your back tire. A Uhaul trailer is $15/day and works like a champ.

You wouldn't catch me using that on our Harleys. Trailer it. We use a MC210 from Aluma which hauls both Harley's. Started with a used MC10 which hauls one 1 Harley. Best trailer we ever had. Much easier (and safer) to load than our Kendon was and pulled like a dream.

one problem with that setup, is when you try to avoid pot holes you end up centering the rv to miss the hole, and the motorcycle take a direct hit every time

I haven't and don't think I would.
