Trailer Vs. Carrier

[ezra2007]

I recently traded in my trailer for a wheel free carrier and I couldn't be happier. I like taking my sport bike out west for the scenery that is lacking here in Indiana and a trailer is too much of a hassle for me. I ordered a motorcycle carrier from somespam.com. They shipped it out the day I ordered it and I received it the next day. The wheel free carrier hooks into the hitch of your vehicle and has a bracket to keep it in place so your bike doesn't move around too much while you are driving. I recommend getting the ramp also, it is much easier to load by yourself that way. If you are thinking about a trailer for your bike, I would check out the spamfactory first. It only extends your vehicle a few feet instead of about 8 extra feet with a trailer.

Now that I'm done editing the spamfest...

These type of carriers raise all HolyHell on the rear springs of the vehicle you strap them onto. Hanging 400-700 lbs. 3 feet behind the rear of the vehicle places a mechanical advantage against those springs that will sack them out in very little time. If your thinking of trying this with a unibody SUV, think long and hard about that...... there is no good outcome over any length of time.

The type that only hold the front tire and tow the bike with the rear tire of the bike on the ground are somewhat easier on the springs, but then you are rolling the bikes tire, wheel bearings, drive system and at least part of the tranny useless miles without even getting the fun of riding. I'd rather spend the money at the Strip Bar.... the cost is the same and you still end up staring at something you ain't gonna get to play with either way.

Buy a trailer, or better yet, get your Redneck on and buy a truck.... they were actually designed to haul stuff like this around.

Or like Johnj said, ride the dam thing.
