AWSOME BIKE HAUKING HITCH IS JUNK

I saw one like it for sale for $150 and it was made out of aluminum.
Real bike haulers are called trucks. You put the bike in the back and
know that it won't fall off on the freeway somewhere.

Vans are cool because you can lock it all up.

#1 Van Fan. Your bike also stays clean, rather than getting covered with
salt and grime when passing over the mountains in the spring.

You sure do have a point there...
Allthough starting your dirtbike in the garage and riding it to the dirtpark
might be heaven on wheels too.

The bike is the bikehauler- the only choice 'round these parts.

Open garage.
Roll out bikes.
Ride.
Return.
Repeat as necessary.

The ONLY way to fly.

That sounds wonderful and everything, but it would not preclude me
from needing the means to haul my bike places. There's not a dirt
worthy bike made that I would ride from Ky to Jim Cooks neck of the
woods... gotta haul it. Hell, there's not a street bike made I'd ride
that far. We also like to ride at various diffferent places in the
local area. I wouldn't even dual sport to them either. I'd never know
if I was going to have anything left to ride home on. :)

PSA--those were cool commercials, indelibly seared into childhood
memories.

barking up the wrong tree here :)

TimH has just about every avenue covered, when you're talking about
dirtbikes. Haul mode or non. Covered or not. dammit

It's a question of choosing your priorities.
I leave it to y'all to decide who's priorities are screwed up. There
are good cases to be made either way
