Bike trailers " For transporting"

[mfzx6r]

While we were talking about strapping the bike down I thought what type of trailers do poeple use ??
And how do you get it one ? By yourself or do you need a hand? Ramps ?etc

well i have a van with a hydraulic hoist,they are very popular with wheelchairs but it doesnt work too well with flat ground you have to find a bit of a slope or a gutter somewhere.

cool, looks like an ol Yellow Cab if not mistaken!!

[Barrabob]

Yes its a maxitaxi I have a collection of them

[KLR]

I would say you wouldve picked that up cheap privately or auction, still good investment for ya especially track days etc.

[Barrabob]

I drive them for a living,its a old one that has been taken off the road as a taxi and was a bit beat up for a quick sale so i use it as a run around.

You can use a 6 x 4 box trailer with either the gate down or the bike diagonally. Thats what mine us but it has been modded with the sides widened and pressed up steel tracks to fit 2 bikes length ways. The tail gate has to be down though so the number plate is screwed to the thin top bit of the tail gate...
I have a timber ramp with checker plate screwed to it to push the bike into the trailer.

A 7 x 4 or propper bike trailer would be the go... I prefer the box trailers as they have a floor and can be used for other stuff...

Is that the one you bought when you picked up the zx9r ?

Neka you got pic's ??

Me I'm still working on mine.
I have a three bike trailer thats only good for trail bikes, old and lightweight
and I can use my 7'x4' 4X4 trailer which has a ramp and channel to hold my bike in the middle but I'm working on an enclosed one that I can keep out of the weather in if need be

a bit hard to follow your question but it think you asked how do you get the bike in the trailer ?

me i use a ramp for either the bike or van

i stand beside the bike and run the bike in 1st gear to 'drive' it up the ramp , no pushing or busting your back and only need 1 person

from there i put onto the side stand and get the straps out and away you go, strap it down and in the upright position and all is good
