Like the title says. This is a very trackday-oriented forum, and there are always good ideas to be found. So lets see what you're hauling. Even if you have campers/RV's that don't haul bikes, lets still see what you got.
My previous cheap ass setup:
Then I sold the truck when I moved. Current plans are to buy either an enclosed trailer or a cargo van once I get a house.
The Pitbull Trailer Restraint is amazingly useful to have when hauling. Expensive, but well worth it.
Ugh those links sent me on a huge detour of looking at trailers and fantasizing over a sweet camper/hauler setup. Sadly finances and the fact that I have a Ford Fiesta limit my dreams a bit, haha.
Hah, that's the back of a rental moving truck. I don't own anything for hauling the bike at the moment. Getting a hitch put on the jeep eventually though.
My hauler in the backround. I would have more pictures of it, but if you look at it closer than that for more than 5 seconds you realize it's not worth the memory space. It's served me well, my only wish is if I get another truck I want a longer bed so I can close the tailgate.
Also my pops with the family rat riding around in the back yard.
Big RV's seem nice but you'll always get stuck sleeping & transporting a bunch of people who don't pitch in and it ends up costing a shit-ton. My ideal setup is a Sprinter RV.
It'll tow my 12' trailer and it has a generator for A/C, small kitchen and a king size bed for me, my race bunny and nobody else. Friends can hang out during the day but when it's time for bed, GTFO haha!
For now, I'm getting a hitch put on my X3 on Monday. Should be plenty of room in the back for a nice cushy futon.

Ya, I paid less than that for my 6x14 enclosed trailer brand new. I drove direct to the manufacturer to get it and paid a "cash only" price of $2500. But I guess if you don't have anywhere to put one, you'd need something like that stand up trailer.
I was just at the NYIAS yesterday, and man those Sprinters are awesome. If you're going to have a mobile garage, that's the way to go.
Totally jealous, Hokie.
