Wouldn't it just!!!!

Thanks for all the really helpful replies everyone.
We're thinking we'll get a tow bar put on our car (or maybe a new, gruntier car) and hire or borrow a trailer for the trips to the track. The van really is the best idea, but it would be our only vehicle other than the bikes and we don't really go to enough trackdays to warrant all that uncoolness.

Not enough room to swing a kitten in there. This is what you need:

Hey mrs k if you end up getting a ute and are worried about "uncoolness" then get a Ford,there so cool the All Blacks had to give theres back.

Watch it girl or I won't lend you our trailer...

I was thinking this may be another option

We're thinking about flicking off our car and buying a Holden Ute to cart our bikes to trackdays on the back of. But before we look too seriously I need to know if we can actually fit the bikes on the back.
Does anyone here do this or seen two bikes on the back of a Ute? Thanks.

Well I have seen it done here with one bike don't know aboput two bikes... depends on size I suppose... would it not be better easier and cheaper to get a trailer that can hold two, then modify it with wheel tracks and decent tie done points?

From memory, you guys car is even smaller than that there carolla, where would Misses Kendog sit? You caould make her sit on the bike for the trip I guess, get her geared up and she can get the riding feel without wasting the gas

...and she can get the riding feel without wasting the gas

...and she might corner faster too

[et al]

Have been through the Trailer vs Ute vs Van dilema myself and ended up choosing a LWB Van, and have not regretted it. My advice to you guys (since it seems like you don't like the idea of a Van) would be first up to go for seeing how a trailer works out for you. If you find towing the trailer is a hassle and want to consider a Ute, have a good think about all the ancillary stuff you have taken (or would like to take) to track days and whether you could have all that stuff adequately stored/secured in a Ute. Also if the Ute is going to be your only four wheeled vehicle then consider how that would work out for things like shopping trips and situations where you need to take an extra couple of people.

I can see me doing that too, all geared up, sitting on the bike on the back and going "Vroom vroom" at the lights.

...and she might corner faster too

Cheeky shit!!

[Drew]

...and she might corner faster too

She didn't go do a deal for a sportsbike to make up for her riding
