You would have to be a trials rider to load the darn thing.:scream:

Holeshot. I have a riding buddy that comes out in an old import hatchback. He has taken the back seat out and puts his Yamaha straight in with the rear wheel hanging out about 8" above the street. Gets him where he wants to go.;)

Back in the day, (early 70's) I had a Kawisaki 250 enduro that I had stripped for MX.. Not having a truck or trailer I made a bumper mount out of allthread and a piece of conduit, and bolted it to the back bumper of my Datsun.. Then I mounted the front fork of the Kaw to it, after removing the wheel, The Kaw's at that time had a split piece on the bottom of the fork that you could unbolt and remove the wheel without removing the axle.. Worked great for a while, buit then I got a real dirtbike (72CZ400) and had to buy a truck..

Jeez, I hope the guy with the VW doesn't have to go through a toll booth or the drive thru. I would love to watch him load the bike though. :cool:

AHHH, memories! :o

I hauled a Kawasaki 400 triple from Birmingham to Atlanta in the trunk of a Pinto. I took the front wheel off and stuck the forks in the trunk. Then I took a couple of straps and strapped the bars down to the inside of the trunk. It was a kind of fifth-wheel arrangement. I did a lot of things when I was younger that make me shake my head now. I should have died a hundred deaths.

I used a 76 KZ900 to pull my single rail trailer with a 77? yz250 on it. I wish I had pics of it now.

A KTM300 will fit in a ford station wagon if you take the handlebars front wheel and gastank off. Somewhere Bikeless has a photo of this.
