Who brings there bike with them, and how?
We are in the process of restore/converting a 65 GMC Handi-Van into the "Harley Hauler" frog/toad. So we can bring all our toys with us when we go RVing. We tried the bike in the bed of the Ranger, but after 200 miles of rain, and the 4 hours to get the bike looking like a bike again. We decided to find an indoor solution for transport. The transporter and the (new) Harley, they made me a deal that I couldnt resist............ROFLMAO!!!

20'cargo trailer fits our scooters, kayaks, tools, full size BBQ, etc. My 2 cents worth is you'd be better off with a trailer...

Wow! Can you get two Harleys in that van? Can you get one Harley in that van? Looks like a pretty big job to me. Loading and unloading would be a challenge? I have a 12' garage on my toy hauler and two Harleys fit fine......just no room to walk around them. Good Luck!

1 bike and its tight, but it fits. The chock is up against the doghouse. Loading is..................interesting anyhow. I looked into getting a toyhauler since I still have the Dodge dually, but its just not cash wise now. I would take a bath on the moho, so I needed a different way to get a vehicle and a bike behind the moho. The van will double as the hotrod too.

Our scooters fit in the bed of the truck. We ride a lot, visited all 67 counties in Alabama in 2008 on them, ran the Gulf Islands National Seashore in 2009... and who knows what we'll do in 2010.
