bagger bumber towing
I saw an add for towing the bike with the front tire up on a chock while the rear tire stays on the ground. I was wondering if anyone has used this method and what are the pros and cons?
add miles, when not running. bad for transmission. easy loading and unloading. possible clearance issues. |
I have never used this product but what i see is wear and tear on the rear tire ,belt and some other things and your not even riding the scoot.If and open trailer is not an issue then i would just get a real trailer,no wear and tear.

There was a thread on this a little while back. Like anything else on this Forum, there were a lot of different opinions ...

I have never tried towing my bike this way. Yesterday however I saw a small car being towed on a dolly by an RV. It did not have adequate clearance between the dolly and body- the result was damage to the body of the car where the dolly/trailer had been bouncing into the car for some time. Just be diligent about the details...

I have trailers and bike will fit in bed of truck. problems I run into is no where to park trailer, and no safe way to get bike out of truck, once I get to destination. I ride It most of the time, but hard to carry all that is needed for a 10 day stay out of town with 2 people. leathers alone can fill the bags.

I have trailered bike to motel and then I leave the trailer (attached to the SUV) at the motel when I go riding. Have even been gone for a couple of weeks from the motel. Asked the hotel manager if it was ok to pull car and trailer off to the side and leave it there while I rode. Have never been told no.

Don't like the idea.
If you run over some type of debris and somehow your shifter gets bumped into gear while you're towing it, I imagine it would destroy your tire and transmission.
Used trailers are cheap. Ben |

Used trailers are cheap. Ben Trailers are cheap and far more versatile. |
I agree I think there are too many variables.
