i am not going to get into the argument about trailering or not, everybody has thier own situation so lets not judge them.Now onto the spyder in the back of the truck idea, it looks like all the weight is up high on the end of the bed and over the tailgate.Im sure that would make any normal 1/2 truck ride like a bag of cats fighting over a mouse. not something i would want to drive especially down the highway and in traffic

There are many reasons one would trailer or haul a power sport toy. Think about it. If you are mature it will come to you. Some one had to say it.

But you CAN have it disabled... IF you know the right person, with the right BUDS software.
Right, I'm aware of that stuff, which is why I'm trying to figure out jcthorne's "not any more" response to me. Maybe he's had his disabled? Kinda woulda liked a tad lengthier post.

Any
Spyder 2014 or newer has the option to turn DESS off. I would be more than happy to do it for you if you were local or want to come by. There are other shops that also offer the service. Its an option in BUDS. Most dealers either cannot or will not.

Back to the gizmo
It is an idea. Not cost effective, not particularly stable, but, if you have a shop that hauls Spyders , might be ok. I think a aluma trailer of 1/3 the cost is a bit more sensible, especially if one does not have a truck! Even an economy car can pull a aluminum trailer!

Spyder in pick up truck
Some of us have more than one toy we want to take with us. Which is why I'm considering getting some ramps, load the spyder, and pull some seadoos. I'm going to be away from home nearly 2 weeks and want to ride everything!

Rampage Loader in Pick-up
We, Travel in a motorhome and live in it 4 and 5 months a year. We tow an F150 w/4wd behind it. The last 3 years a 2012 Victory Vision was loaded in the truck using a Rampage Loader. The weight of the bike does not go on the tailgate, it is on the loader itself and that is bolted to the bed of the truck. That being said the Vision weighed in the neighborhood of 900lbs. Towed the whole thing behind a 40ft. motorhome and had zero problems with it. When we got to our destination, we had the best of both worlds. Get to go off roading in the F150 or take the bike out to enjoy the desert southwest! This year we will be taking our new to us 2014 Spyder RTS and staying 5 months near Big Bend National Park. We will have our home base and plenty of roads to travel on as well as a lot of 4WD trails to explore! Retirement is for enjoying what you can while you can! I seriously doubt hauling the Spyder backwards in the truck behind us will remove the windscreen. However we have a rearview monitor on the motorhome and can keep an eye on it. Will remove the windscreen if needed. It's not that difficult.

, and good luck with carrying the RT backwards...
