Two motos in bed of Tacoma?

[DucHead]

Yo!

My girlfriend and I are doing the Cornerspeed school at Virginia International Raceway in July, and I'd like to haul both bikes (MS4R and MT620).

Does anyone know whether both bikes will fit in the bed of an '06 Tacoma regular cab?

Thanks!!

You can get two in the back of a Ranger.

I've had a friends cbr600 and a R1 in the bed of my '99 toyota

i was looking at mine last night and you might be able to do it. you're going to run into issues with the wheel wheel protrusions in the bed and a lack of proper tiedown points.

IF memory serves me right Zoom got 3 bikes into the back of a VW pickup... so you should be able to manage 2.  If you've got any wheel chockes you can use/borrow/steal they make the joba ton easier.

they're expensive, but i love my baxley sport chock. it fits perfectly into the indentation at the front of my bed and naturally "locks" into place.

This past weekend I loaded up my 848 and a 695 in the the back of my Taco. I used a pair of wheel chocks and they fit quite well. My Taco is an '08 double cab w/ the long bed so ymmv.

have they added front tie-down points or do you still only have the accessory rail cleats and the d-rings in the rear?

I have two Baxley chocks.

Now I'm thinking of borrowing a trailer.  By the time I get both bikes in, there won't be room for stands, ramp, tools, fuel, etc.  Plus, as Derby noted the tie-downs are not situated for properly securing two bikes.  (I added two cleats in the front of the bed.)

So...can I use a ball attached to my fender, or should I purchase a hitch?

So, you didn't secure (ratchet strap) the bikes via the triple clamps?

[bryant8]

They were secured with the wheel chocks in addition to the the cyclecynch/ratchet strap set up. It was a tight fit so any extra gear was stowed in a different vehicle.

Oh yeah, I did add 3 cleats to the front of the bed. 



You can't see the chock setup but I used the $40 ones from Harbor Freight.  They worked pretty well

cleats (on the accessory rail) or d-rings (on the floor)?

[bryant8]

D-rings on the floor I mean.

Oops!!  Yup, I meant bumper.
