• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Any suggestions?
Racking my brain trying to figure out how.
I measured a Uhaul car carrier and I can't get them both on.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks
Ron

Need more info. One time use or what? One way trip? Moving or traveling? Money an issue?
 
mention of a uhaul by the OP may mean no purchase is contemplated. That is likely a limiting factor for him,
Moving or travelling is not relevant-he wants to haul two Spyders, the rest is really none of our business, nor is his financial status. Most want to be frugal.
A search here found a few options. The posters in the linked threads have actual experience.

.
Most helpful would be advice from those who have actual experience with hauling two Spyders.

I have gone thru this. You really need an 18 foot trailer. U haul does not normally carry that size but the local equipment rental places almost always have them. You have to bring it back to where you rented it.

That's why I asked if it was a one-way trip.
 
Sorry for the delay.

We don't have a tow vehicle yet. Looking for one now. We are open to buying or renting a trailer. My wife is not keen on long extended trips on the Spyder, so the thought is we would trailer them to our destination, then use the trikes. We have a 13 year old daughter who would be riding with us which is why my wife is not comfortable on the long trips.

Thanks for the explanation Ron.

I think you would be better off buying a trailer, since the availability of rental trailers that would meet your needs is extremely limited. There have been other discussions (threads) on this topic. If I can take the liberty of summarizing the responses, I think you want to be looking for one of the aluminum trailers that are made for this purpose. I say aluminum because a trailer that size in steel makes for a pretty heavy load and then requires a larger tow vehicle than you might otherwise want.

Then comes the question of whether you would rather have one wide enough to accommodate some 'nesting' of the bikes, or a long one (18') that can be narrower. Maybe your parking area would factor into that decision.
 
Maybe something like this?

Thanks guys for the great information.
I did not realize how expensive trailers are. Holy crap.:banghead:
We're re-evaluating. The cost of a trailer + the cost of a new vehicle + trailer storage = :yikes:

Sigh...
 
Trailer

You have several choices for trailers but they are all a little pricey. Check your local trailer dealership and see if they have any helpful Options. Rent, buy and then sell, buy and keep. Happy looking . :thumbup:
