Pics of your bike being transported?

I need to reorganize my trailer setup. I need to put the 450L directly in front of the SxS. The XT250 is short enough that the hand guard wouldn’t clear the hood. So, I had to let all the air out of the SxS tire to get everything to fit. It’s a game of fractions of an inch for sure.

Loaded up the van this morning and headed off to Portugal for a few weeks of riding

Forget all that--how about some info on the bush plane?

 

[Punkinhead]

Not a bush plane - it's a '47 Piper Cub. I mostly fly it off grass strips but it doesn't have the horsepower or large enough tires for bush operations.

Setup is 8" too long to fit in the shop. Dang it! Supposed to rain and snow all night and gotta ride in the morning. 😆👍

Rained all freaking night and I was smart enough to leave the tarp on for the trip up my road...

Called the wife after we were done for the day and asked if the road had dried out enough or if i should just leave the bike @ my dads place. "Oh no, its fine, you're good!"
Needless to say, she offered to wash it.

This is from June this year. We were heading up to the in-law's family reunion. My wife told me to "pack only the essentials".

An occasional riding buddy who lives on Sequatchie River with a few hundred feet of grass floodplain keeps his kubota and a pair of J-3 s, one bush set up in the “barn”. He has a friend who lives within sight of his place up on Signal Mtn West slope caprock. Many road miles. They hacked out a strip on the edge at the friend’s house. Couple of air miles.

My Bandit on the wrecker after I totalled it..

Replaced it with an R6 a couple months later

This is my preferred method of transporting the bikes, although I sometimes use just the bed of my pickup truck. A trailer with a ramp door is so much easier to load and unload due to the high bed height of modern pickups.

I'm sorry I forgot to take a pic of my 525 in there too.

That’s an old Holsclaw stripped down to one rail. Probably weighs 100lbs and has suspension as sophisticated as the car. Trailing arms, panhard rod, coil springs, shocks with multiple mounting positions. (Vertical to top in slant)

Track day! The bike, not the truck. Although the truck is no slouch either. It's LS swapped, with a 425hp Cadillac Escalade 6.0L. The bike is my 2009 Aprilia Dorsoduro 750.

Yep. Had a new rail made for wider 120 and 130 tires. Three original rails in the basement. The smart car got 28 mpg at 70 going to Fla from Atl

10-ish years ago for the longer trips, sure do miss that TDI fuel mileage. Trailer was an old boat trailer modded out. Could carry 2 bikes on it.
