Hauling Dirt Bikes On A Hitch Carrier
63Dirt Bike Carrier
Hauling a dirt bike can be a problem for some people if they don't have a pick-up truck or trailer. If this is you, don't worry, I have a way around this. You will be able to haul your dirt bike for cheaper and, in most cases, easier than a trailer or truck. A Dirt Bike Carrier is able to mount into the hitch of your vehicle, even if it's a van or SUV. They are lightweight, easy to install, and give you a lot more room to pack gear and parts in your vehicle without having to pull a trailer.
As much as I like hauling my bikes on a three-rail motorcycle trailer, it can be a pain to maneuver it in and out of places, especially if it's tight and you have to back up (not that I can't do it!). I'd just rather have a single hitch carrier on my van if I'm hauling one dirt bike to the track. That way I don't really have to worry about running over things or knifing a trailer.
But, if I have two bikes to haul, I can always pull out a Double Motorcycle Carrier. It's not much heavier than the single since it's made out of light-weight aircraft aluminum. As long as your vehicle and hitch can carry the load, this carrier will haul two motocross bikes to the track!
Not only is it easier to haul bikes with a hitch carrier, but it also gives you more room. If you haul the bikes with the hitch carrier on a van or SUV, then there's a lot of space in the vehicle to carry your gear and your friends! Even if you have the carrier on a truck, you can toss all of the equipment in the bed, leaving you with plenty of room in the cab.
So if you don't mind throwing your dirt bike(s) up on a rail behind your vehicle, a dirt bike carrier is a great way to go, and is a whole lot cheaper than buying a truck or trailer. Good luck!
