Default Safety first, Unless you aint got time.

I wanted to share this. I posted this in another thread.
http://www.powerdecks.com/ I heard about someone being killed trying to ride a big bike onto a motorcycle trailer. About the same time my dad started talking about loading big bikes via ramp to flatbed 1-ton. I was able to convince him one trip to the emergency room could easily exceed the cost of one of these. He bought one and its a slick piece of equipment.

Can you find out a ballpark price from your dad? I went to the website and they kindly allow you to "request pricing"...well, sh*t, for now I just want to know how much it costs.

I think they put you thru to a distributor if you make the inquiry. I'm thinking the one he got was $5200.00. Shipped to B.F. Egypt/ Ideeho.

I'd need plenty more reasons to buy a power lift than just to haul the bike.
A good cycle trailer is cheaper, safer to use and your bike is protected from
the elements.
