Motorcycle carrier

Post by hgallegos915 »

Anyone ever use one of these (the carrier) and know if they are any good? Looks cheaper than buying a utility trailer.

I was looking a while back about hitch tire carriers, not for a spare for the truck, but one I've seen Miata guys use to carry their race tires to autocross events. I came across a thread about putting a hitch on a Mazda3 and although they're not suppose to tow, people were showing other uses for a hitch. One guy with a Speed3 literally had a motorcycle on the hitch on his car. Ha, found it!

In reality, the total weight carried on that system shouldn't exceed the tongue weight limit of the hitch.
