Hey All-
I am doing some shopping for a bike carrier. I have been running some polls around various forums and curious to know what this community thinks about the myriad of carriers on the market today. It seems that this thread comes up every so often (the last being late last year) so I know product lines change or update their systems.
The major 4 or 5 carrier I am looking at are
Moto-Tote 3
Add-A-Bike
MotoJackRack (MJD)
Vera-Haul
UltimateMXHauler
I would say those are the big ones that stand out. I know there are several others on the market. In the end, I know that I am going to drop 300 clams so I am looking for the product that has given the best overall satisfaction and comfort level while kicking it 75 mph down the highway.
Is seems that everyone prefers the product that they have bought. Nobody has really lost a bike with any one product (under typical use). So what's everybody's opinion in 2005. If you had to buy another one - which product and style would you go for.
I have a nissan pathfinder (tongue weight 500#)..brand spankin g new YZ250f (dry weight 206#)... and a heart condition when I think about hitch or carrier failure :ohmy:
Your input is greatly appreciated.
Thank -Bman
