Default What do you use to tow your bike?

Right now, I'm using a Honda Odyssey with a (UHaul) Class III hitch with a trailer (when I need to tow two bikes). I'm thinking about getting this http://www.factoryramps.com/pr....html to tow only my bike. Any input?

I don't know how confident I'd be in that thing, I think it'd be better if you bought one of those ramps that the guys hall the lawnmowers around in... looks like a big piece of wood on wheels with a fold down ramp in the back... and if you use straps, DO NOT tie the handlebars like that, you tie each one to the opposite side and wrap it around the triple tree and fork

Yeah, but I'm afraid that it will cause permanent damage to the Ody if it doesn't work out.

f4i and fzr600

plastics off (dont think it matters), all rear seats out

fzr goes in from one side angled as transverse as possible and up next to the front seats. f4i goes in from rear starting on side that the fzr is rearmost and running parallel towards the door that the fzr went in from. Actually there's a lot of room. Not enough for a 3rd though. fzr is short though

If i cant borrow a truck I use my jeep and rent a uhaul trailer. Its so cheap to rent and you dont have to worry about having a big *** trailer around when yer done with it.
