[QUOTE="biglou, post: 681619"] Just got done doing the test load on Robert's trailer. Here's what we can do: 7 bikes on the trailer,no more, and 2 in the back of Tony's truck. This will leave us with room for gas cans and a couple of well-stocked toolboxes. [b]Gear bags will have to be taken on the plane for those flying.[/b] Seven is definitely the maximum number on this trailer. I have a picture (last pic below) of my truck with the tailgate down and trailer attached, and it looks like there will be no loss of turn radius if we have to drop the tailgate on Tony's truck for two bikes in the bed. Also, his truck will be taller with even more vertical clearance between the trailer and the tailgate. See the succession of pics below for how the bikes would be packed. Also, we will need four more of the wheel "chocks" that you see two of sitting on the trailer in a couple of the pictures. These go for $15 apiece. We have the green light to drill into the decking of the trailer as needed from it's owner. Whatever we need to do, it's cool: drill, weld, etc. Pictures: [url]http://pages.sbcglobal.net/big_lou/_uimages/DSC01738.JPG[/url] [url]http://pages.sbcglobal.net/big_lou/_uimages/DSC01739.JPG[/url] [url]http://pages.sbcglobal.net/big_lou/_uimages/DSC01740.JPG[/url] [url]http://pages.sbcglobal.net/big_lou/_uimages/DSC01741.JPG[/url] [url]http://pages.sbcglobal.net/big_lou/_uimages/DSC01742.JPG[/url] [url]http://pages.sbcglobal.net/big_lou/_uimages/DSC01743.JPG[/url] It may not look like it, but the two bikes are as tight as I would want to load them. The footpegs are actually overlapping. See the handlebare overlap, also. The shrouds are about 3" apart, too. That's about the minimum amount of "wiggle room" that I'd like to see. Now, the current confirmed list for bike transport is as follows: 1. [b]Tony Eeds-Pilot.[/b] 2. Blackhawk. 3. Motohead00. 4. [b]BigLou-Copilot.[/b] 5. Rooster. 6. Mr. Luckey. 7. Gospeedracer. 8. Nikki. 9. Reddog. Looks like we have a full boat already. The only way a spot opens up using this truck/trailer combo, is if Randy (Motohead) takes Strick up on his offer to ride the WR in Reno. Then we have room for one more. If we wind up snagging a bigger trailer, like the one Eddie had a line on, great. We can add more bikes. But for now, unless someone else wants do drive also, we are full. [b]The cost for transport will be $100 per bike[/b]. This will pay for fuel and hopefully an oil change and a little wear and tear for Tony's rig. The rest of the people still on the fence: 1. XR3J 2. Julius Pleaser 3. Mully 4. SeniorKXrider 5. Agent Orange 6. Mrs. Orange 7. Mr. Modine Looks like we could easily fill another truck/trailer combo if everyone decided to go. So, let's hear from ya if you're coming. Anyone else wanna caravan? We can split up the total bikes, share the transport fees so both drivers' vehicles are gas paid. Life's an adventure, right?! REEEEEE-NOOOOOOHHHH, BABY!!! :) Thoughts? Comments? Suggestions? Let's hear it! [/QUOTE]
