Bike movers - that go on your towbar?

[Jay GTI]

Tying on the bike & light board takes longer than loading a trailer.

Ah good point... mine doesn't have the luxury of a ramp, so loading it requires a bit of strength. I'm a stocky bloke, so can pick up the front and rear wheels and load it in myself, but after a particularly hard day's riding it can be a struggle.

Luckily dirt bikers are an awesome bunch and there hasn't been a time yet when someone hasn't offered to help me put the bike on after a ride.

Cheaper to just buy a trailer though

I had one...sold it but miss it at times! I put on a new Mondeo - love work cars for free petrol - but had to get it rated for the down force.

The do rock a little the heavier the bike. Mine is a KX125, but I used a strop that I connected to the baby seat "clip things" inside. Worked a treat and no rocking.
Travelled from AKL to Tussock and no worries. Just make sure you put a mock up of your plate number on it so the cops don't worry. They are always intrigued with it but happy

I had no issues in getting the bike on the back as more technique but after a ride it is pretty tough.

make your own.

get 2 bits of box section steel, weld them to the outer edges of your tow bar.

slot 2 bits of smaller box section inside them.

get a channel of some kind of your choice for your bike to slot into, just as you would on a trailer. attatch this across ways over your 2 bits of box section hanging out the back.

no stress on your tow bar toungue

same stress on your rear suspension.


note on overhanging loads - you're allowed to overhang the sides you your vehicle by 200mm each side and 1m out the back before you need flags or lights etc on it. on wider vehicles this will be ok, on a commodore maybe not
