I'm finally adding an "M" to my license and needed something to go pick up a bike. My xB's already been converted with a wheelchair ramp, so my mind got to wandering. The result, this gorgeous 1981 Honda CM400A on bamboo with a power winch for good measure. Oh, and the bike's an automatic.

 

That is the *****! I had to buy an Avalanche to haul my bike around

 

nice! i love the fact that you use a toyota to haul your honda around!

 

Wow. Just wow. Nice job with that too... Looks super clean.

 

BUMP for being an awesome thread!

I found another way to haul a two-wheeler with a Scion:

 

so thats what a moped and a scooter would look like if they had children

 

Well, it's a scooter... it just has larger wheels than most scooters (and doesn't have pedals). It rides smoother, though. I have the 50cc version, but they also make a 150cc version of the same scooter that goes 70 MPH, so the larger wheels (and larger brakes) are needed.

It's a Kymco "People 50". Great little scooter. It goes 40 MPH and gets close to 100 MPG. I've had it for 8 years and have put about 2,000 miles on it. I don't use it that much, but it's fun around town.

 

i'm all for 100mpg's

 

thats awesome

 

i just linked from another thread... why dont you run some bigger tires, theyll last longer and be a smoother ride. youve got the wheelgap use it

 

Awesome idea...

but honestly, why do people buy bikes then shlep them around inside the bed of a truck?

 

redneck...because we arent as rich as you

Bikes are meant to be ridden.... why drive it around in the bed of a truck? You completely missed the question there kiddo... and yes, Im so happy that you got your jet ski!

Also, my monetary intake has nothing to do with this thread, so lets just go ahead and leave that out of it...

 

Agree with ya RedneckwithanxB i see trucks cruise around with a bike in the bed its like why not just drive it??lol well to the op to bad toyota does not have a motorcycle..

 

no but i do completely agree with redneck...you have a bike...NOW USE IT!

 

what are you supposed to do if it's a track bike (not street legal and not worth the tickets) your bike is broken (self explanatory) or you're moving your stuff and need to get back to where you were? especially if you live in a large and busy city that's not motorcycle friendly (most metropolitan areas).

and sometimes, it's just nice to not have to worry about getting your ___ ran over by someone else's driving error.

 

i can understand what your saying brainneeded but out were im at its not the case.I see people in there old school truck's with airbags etc and a bike in the back for looks.as for the the reason that its a track bike and do not want a ticket ive seen more of those on the road than regular bikes.Kinda lame that it has become more of a cool factor.

 

Wooo! Back from the dead and all!

For the wheel gap, that will be taken care of shortly. Already have these, just need to figure out where to mount the air tank.



As for packing instead of riding, I'm only one driver. I've gone to car and bike shows and entered BOTH, and it doesn't work so well the other way, Honda rides fine but is kinda hard to tow the xB with. Also,if you're going for a long weekend, it's nice to be able to pack the bike, a tent, cooler, clothes, etc. all in the car, and have a/c, rather than riding 12 hours on an overstuffed (and unstable) bike.

Also, next year I will be racing a 1978 GS 750, it will be open header with no lighting or license, so can't drive it. The xB will become my default race trailer. I'm pretty sure it will be the only turbo'd, self propelled trailer at the event.

 

Yup, looking at you Bowls.

 

lol a ruck is not the same as a bike.
