by the way if you are going to search craigslist
try this site http://www.searchtempest.com/

you can search from 25miles on up from your zip
by moving the red ball slider.
i usually search out to 150 miles which gives me
a pretty good radius and up to about a 3 hour drive
from me.

Also looking for information about the receiver hitch type tow dolly. We have a 2004 Harley Road King Classic FLHRC-I. I do have a toy hauler but sometimes don't need to camp, have free boarding, just need to take a 4 wheel vehicle and our Harley. They sell hundreds of these tow dollies. Has anyone used them? A friend who is a competent mechanic tells me no mechanical problems will occur other than rear tire wear. need more opinions please.
Thanks,
Ride Safe!
Bob

Ask a business if you can use their loading dock to load your bike on your truck.

I use to put my XL883C in the back of my 93 Dakota.. I had a ramp but use to back it in a dip or ditch and it was a cinch...Harbor Freight or Northern Tool would be the cheapest option...after a while on those trailers all you need to do is put better tires and wheels.
