Question for anyone that has a hitch-mounted bike trailer like this - http://www.ramp-warehouse.com/versahaul-single-motorcycle-carrier-with-ramp-option-vh55-p-926.html?osCsid=40f98068eca160c49fa3dddeb0718d10 (http://www.ramp-warehouse.com/versahaul-single-motorcycle-carrier-with-ramp-option-vh55-p-926.html?osCsid=40f98068eca160c49fa3dddeb0718d10)
Getting the bike on(and off) the trailer - is that a one man job or do you need at least two people? Looks like two but I want to be sure.
Considering one for my FJ but if I always have to have a buddy around, I might just go for a trailer with wheels and deal with the speed limit restrictions.
Thanks
One man job to get it on, but then you'd need another couple of arms to hold it while strapping it down I guess.
Me, I wouldn't trust this to hold my bike safely. It's one single attachment and the movement of the bike will put a lot of stress on that point? Further more, it's bad for the car's weight distribution to add more than 20-30kg to the rear - this solution adds ~250 :o Bye, bye front wheel control?

about the same price of a utility trailer at Harbor Freight or Northern Tools, hell even Home Depot. I would go with a trailer unless you plan on throwing a dirt bike on it and that's as far as I would go. I've seen several up close and the only one I'd feel comfortable with is the ones the Prevosts have on the back-end receiver with hydraulic lift and all (lots of dough).
