:OLD: Motorcycle Carriers - A Great Option For Hauling Your Bike By Shannon Phelps There are a lot ways to transport your motorcycle whether you use a transport service, a trailer or a carrier. A transport service can be expensive and if you are doing it regularly it will cost quite a bit, especially if you are traveling to the same place as your bike. Motorbike trailers are a good option, but they can be cumbersome and take up a lot of space when you are not using them. A great option if you have the vehicle size are motorcycle carriers, also known as haulers. Not only are they easy to use but also a lot cheaper than tow behind trailers. Carriers or haulers carry your bike, or bikes, straight on the back of your vehicle. You attach the carrier to a hitch which is attached to your vehicle. Many carriers come with a load ramp and wheel choke for stabilization and then you use tie down straps to secure the bike. You don't need to tow anything, which some people are just not comfortable with or you maybe fine with it but your wife isn't who will also be sharing the driving. There are limitations with motorcycle carriers which you should definitely know about before purchasing one. Basically you will need the ability to use a hitch class 3 or above. Along with this the hitch class and specific carrier will determine the weight you can carry which for your large cruisers and sports bikes is a problem. They are pretty good for dirt and trail bikes and you can even get double carriers, again as long as your hitch class weight capacity will allow it. If you want to haul your cruiser or sports bike there are few other considerations. Usually you will need a much larger vehicle and a specialized carrier to allow for handlebar, bike and wheel widths. It is not impossible but you do face a few more challenges and may be forced to consider a transport trailer. Just be certain to check your vehicle specifications and hitch class options before looking at any carriers. |
