Show Us Your Bike On A Trailer!

gaspipe · 08-25-2008, 03:48 PM

We can't always ride to where we want to start our ride for whatever reasons. So show us your bike on a trailer, and tell why you didn't ride it (if you can).

I'll start with one....

In Amarillo, TX.

Needed to get four dual sport bikes to Baja from mid-Tennessee, but only had three riders to start with. The fourth flew in from Thailand, and obviously couldn't ride to the start point. We saved a load of fuel and tires by hauling them this time.

Bought a new bike, and a shed, at the same time. I took my cousin Larry's advice and took the truck.

Middle of nowhere (Big Sur CA Highway 1), and a split in the rear tire that I couldnt fix... That was an 80 mile tow that day.

I did try though!

Please excuse the chicken strips....
