Best way to haul my Busa?

[Rev. 6:5]

I have an F-250 and a travel trailer. I would like to bring the Busa whenever the fam goes camping, but I'm not sure how to haul it. I'd love to put it in the bed of the truck, but I don't think I can manhandle the bike by myself.

Any suggestions here?

Put a hitch on the camper and get a small trailer for the bike. Gotta check the laws though, you can tow 2 trailers at once but it has to be under a certain length. Sounds ghey but I knew a guy that hauled his boat and camper at the same time every time he went on vacation

We can, but it's a 4000lbs. Jayco hybrid. I'm not sure how it would do pulling a heavy Busa behind it.

If you go with an open trailer, you'd have roughly 1k lbs with thw bike on it.

I always ride the bike up onto the bed of the truck using a short ramp and tie down the front with a canyon dancer and the back with a cable lock looped through the ramp now loaded and the back wheel. Taking it off, I walk the bike down using the front brake. This is fast and easy, I have hit twisties with the truck, bike on the back at high speed, no issues.

Things to watch for are, some truck tail gate support straps are not strong enough, with a short ramp as shown the angle is too steep, so you need to find a high curb, or little hill and finally if the front fender touches, you may need to use a block of wood or something similar.

I have a Tundra, the tail gate supports are strong enough and no support needed on the front bed to support the bike weight.

If you have never done this before, it is probably best to get someone to show and help you the first time.

I use a Baxley chock this holds it very well . I tie the front with a canon dancer and use 2 straps from the passerginer pegsbracket to tie to the front,
I have a 2x8 board as a loading ramp that I have used for years recently upgraded to a folding alumium ramp Have been loading this bike by my self for 9 years now I push it in usally at a low point if I can find one[ditch] or dip. Just be carefull and take your time, Im not comfortable riding it in or powering it in have seen too many mishaps from this.
Thats how I have been carring around my Busa
Hope this helps

f-250, pretty steep to ride it up,I would think,esp by yourself

Time for a new travel trailer... plenty of them made that will work as a hauler during the day and living quarters at night.. probably the most practical but not the cheapest option..

If the truck is a long bed, you will be fine.If not, the tail gate may not close. If it will, just go to harbor freight and buy you some LONG ramps or ramp brackets and make a ramp out of a 2x12.

You'll need a tow vehicle with a tounge weight rating of at least 600# for just the bike and rack. Add the tounge wieth of the trailer on top. Most pickup trucks aren't rated that high.

I wonder if he might be able to weld up some support brackets? I don't know, I can't weld for #@%, so I'm just throwing that out there.

sell your current camper and get a toy hauler.

2 ramps....one for the bike and one for you to walk beside the bike. I have 2 8fters that I use then they fold and tuck right up beside the MULLET to haul. No that I have the 35s on the f150,,,I need to get he front tires up on a curb or something to get the tailgate low to get the bike off. NO issue at home in the sloped drive.
Baxley chock for the bike than 2 ties off the passenger pegs to front corner of truck...and another set of 2 from grab handles to rear hold downs.
