Need options - carrying motorcycle with TT
Greetings! I know this subject has been covered previously, but I can’t find the thread I've read on it. I recently purchased a motorcycle and would like to bring it along while traveling/camping....

How about simply bolting a piece of channel steel to the floor of the truck, having it just long enough to support the back tire of the bike ?
If going this way I would have the steel channel made long enough to go under the front tire too.
As for that contraption the guy in youtube vid has where he loads his boat on top of the truck: that is a prime example of why some people should not be allowed to buy welders and structural steel ! :E
I don't see anything wrong with it, as long as one does not over load the truck.
John,
Regarding running the length of channel long enough to be under the front tire as well, yes, that is how I am going to do mine, as well as having an angled up piece of channel at the front so the tire bumps into that part of the channel. This will eliminate the front tire of the bike pressing against the front of the box of the truck, which can bend that part of the truck as you tighten the tiedowns.
