Hello gents. I haven’t been on here for a while, but I still have my 8 and still loving it. I am an avid mountain biker and typically drive to a trail that is about a 45 minute drive from my house. It’s a very scenic drive in the country so I have been wondering lately if there is a way I can use my FZ8 to transport my mountain bike to the trail instead of using my car. I was thinking of using a lightweight trailer meant to be towed by a bicycle for this purpose. Below are two trailers that I had in mind. I would attach a bike rack to the trailer so that my mountain bike would be held securely on it. I would then attach the trailer where my swingarm stand spools are currently attached.
Has anyone been down this road, or seen someone tow a mountain bike behind a motorcycle? Is this a stupid idea and I should abandon it immediately? I don’t want to spend a ton of money on this project nor do I have room to store a “real” motorcycle trailer so that is why I am looking at these options, plus, I want to minimize the weight of the trailer.
I would be interested in hearing your opinions. Flame suit on just in case.
