mornin,

This rounds on me.  Got to stick with coffee for now myself.  I
should be working, fortunately these computers make it look like
I'm working.  Anyone ever try one of these?

Aside from looking funny, any problems with towing a 2002 FLHRI this way?

Thanks,

Vic

For that much I would rent a trailer and take it to the shop...Or pay
the small fee charged by the shop to pick it up or buy a small utility
trailer and set it up to haul the bike on.

thanks for the Beam and Coke

Yep, UHaul has a 5X9 ramp trailer with a built-in ramp and tie-downs you
can rent.  Take a couple of 2X4 studs and make a front wheel chock, and
go to town.

It's Miller Time!  Another round, and no coffee this time.

Trailer would be cool.  Nowhere to store it.  The shop has a
pickup with a loader.  Will check out u-haul too.

Later,

I wouldn't trust it.  A big enough bump (note the bike's
tire rides in the middle of the lane) or a need to swerve
and who knows...
