I dont know if this will work or not but what if I put the bike on its side and put it inside my dodge durango.
Have never done this before. I hope I dont get flammed to much. LOL
Thanks, Dirico1266

Even if it fit (maybe after the entire front end and rear wheel are removed) how are you going to get it in there? Lift then rotate 90 degrees, then just slide it in? The thing weighs over 600 lbs. Then which side would you rest it on??? On one side you'll crush the exhaust, on the other you have a big primary bump.

RE: Transporting my harley ?
Hi All,
I finally got my harley to phoenix. I ended up getting http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=42709
I had to put it all together myself but the trailer itself made it 3000 miles going 65-70 pretty much the whole way. Kind of scary when you know there is not alot holding the axel together except for bolts and nuts on each side. I have to say I was impressed.
Anyway, I can ride more comfortably year round.
Thanks for all who replied to this thread. It was very helpful.
Thanks again, dirico

Glad you made it. I looked at that same trailer a little while back just in case I needed to pull the bike in case of break downs or such.
Good to see that it made it cross country with your precious cargo intact. Can't beat that price at all.

worst case, buy a trailer, haul your bike, then sell the trailer when you get to where your going. jackyl

Which way did you come down into the valley?
Which way did you come down into the valley?
NY, Pennsylvania, ohio, indianapolis, illonois, missouri, oklahoma, texas, new mexico and then AZ.
I did this in 2 1/2 days. I did 18 hours on day 1 15 hours on day 2 and then 10 on day 3.
It was a long ride but very well worth it.
Thanks, dirico
