Has anyone had the chance to actually use this? Was wondering what the pros and cons of it are.....

That is a good way to wear out a chain.

Also without the engine running the transmission output shaft and bearings will be running without any oil.

And that CBR in the video will have bent front rotors by the time it gets to its destination.

Also a good way to tear up clip-ons or upper triple.

one con is you are wearing out your back tire...
how would it be any different then if you were riding it on the street? there is no weight on the tire so wearing out the back tire doesnt make sense to me. if im going from point A to B im riding both tires with 200 lbs of weight with gear. has anyone actually used it or know of anyone personally who has used it? obviously a standard trailer is the best way to go but I just dont have room for a trailer.

That is a very well named product right there, unforunately you may need those caskets for your bike :)


Ge the stinger if you need something small and not take up space at home. May cost more but the cost of tires and chain wear on that other one will past the stingers price quickly.

yea the coffin thing looks good if your a bike thief. but the stinger or trailer in a bag is a much better cheep trailer.

check around craigs list and stuff. i got a honda chopper and trailer for $250.i gave the chopper to my father in law, still use the pos trailer. its crummy but its a real trailer.

LOL I think what he means, most people that are thinking of trailering thier bike are taking it some good distance and unloading it there. Casket is kinda wearing out the few miles that tire has in it without the joy of actually ridding it. Then add the part where if you get a flat on the bike while hauling it like that you may not notice till you see the rooster tail of sparks flying in the rearview mirror:lol:

Why not ride the bike?

A radical concept, I know....

That's pretty cool. My bro has a "trailer in a bag" and its nice too. Either is much netter that the one you were first looking at.

I think he just meant that you're putting wear on the rear tire without getting the benefit of actually riding it. And I wouldn't want to flatten out the center of my tire anyway.

yea I did think about that as well. flying sparks would not yield a warm and fuzzy feeling.....

race track is 2.5 hrs in any direction. anything short of going to the track and beating the piss out of it for 4-5 hrs. increasing the possibility of spitting out pieces all over the track I would agree
