Trying to find a way to bring the Harley along.

Hey guys, I've been doing a lot of research into rigs in where I could bring the Harley on trips with a TD as well. So far the only way would be to use a pickup truck as a TV and put the Harley in the bed of the truck. I don't own a pick up.
I've found several rigs which would fit into a class 4 reciever that would lift the harley using hydrolics, but then could not tow a trailer behind that, or at least not a loaded trailer. However most rigs would allow for "Flat towing" a car up to 5000 lbs as this rigs do have a 2 inch reciever which would allow for additional towing. But to put another 160 pounds of hitch weight on these rigs is not recommended.
Has anyone seen a rig setup which woulkd allow for a large motorcycle and towing a TD as well outside of using a pickup?

Buy a big flat bed trailer and put the TD and the Harley on that.

 

A. Ride the bike.
B. A 16' x 8' toybox for both to ride in.
C. I've seen a class A with a big bike on the back hydraulic lift towing a trailer. The owner of the N.O. KOA has one.

Build a platform on the roof of the car with a long, long ramp. Seen this done with off road dirt bikes. You would probably need a pretty serious platform for a Harley, I know my full dress would be real exciting riding up onto something like this.

When I seen it done on car roofs it was on cars where the owner really did not care. Hard to do without drilling some holes in your bodywork and bolting some steel in pretty securely. Not something likely to be done on a daily driver.

JP,

Did you check for innovative options with a HD dealer?

 

Yes I did. They suggested tandum trailering. Not hot on that idea at all.

Hey Marty and Cary, check out this "Toyhauler" TD I found. TD is not a Camp Inn. Maybe something to think about as a new model?

What do you think the tongue weight goes on that when fully loaded all that weight in front of the trailers axel

 

1,237 lbs. with one Harley. Stupidity has no limit.

It doesn't work. Requires a class V hitch basically to haul anything and that would be a 1 ton truck or larger. Might as well just put the bike in the bed of the truck then. We get asked this alot.
