Saw this on the 10 freeway today. Maybe headed to milestone....

Every bump made the bottom of the carrier scrape on the road. We could hear it!!

Look at that lean!





Edit

Perry Coan on Facebook got a picture of him coming home! With the top down!!

That thing needs a roller on it to keep the pavement from grinding it down. Woohoo

I hope you tried to warn him instead of just snapping pics.

Put a rollerblade wheel on there and you're good to go.

The way that it is leaning, it is prob a smaller receiver hitch with an adapter to 2". Scary

That looks like my old harbour freight carrier. That broke in half. It's completely normal.

Is it already dragging? Nice bike, though.

Too big of a risk for me - sell your car and buy a truck

I used to jam mine in the back of a S10 Blazer. You gotta do what gotta do.
me and a couple buddies got 3 bikes plus gear,gas and a tool box in a s10 pickup, the thing would barely do 100KPH (60Mph) but we made it to the track lol

There is nothing but plastic to bolt the receiver to,hitting the road is what kept it from breaking off.

That's the transportation equivalent to the mullet: Party in the front, hard core racer in the back.

That's a piss poor re-wording but I know there's a good joke in there somewhere.

My all-time favorite hauler has got to be Hanny's 1943 Toyota pick-up with the spray painted custom paint job.

I bet that thing was scary to drive, all that weight on the back probably wouldn't turn worth anything.

It was dragging and making a scraping sound over every jump. The could definitely hear it in the car.

If he made any sudden movements, I'm sure it would have dragged a tire lifted the whole thing up

At least it's not sitting in the garage.

Harborfreight sells a trailer for $300 that that car can easily tow. There is no excuse for that.

Just for fun, lets take the heat from the guy who did whatever it takes to hit the track and just look at your first two pics. In the first pic I notice the nice addition of the fish eye mirror. That ranks pretty high on the "gay" scale and we also notice that whomever took the pic, didn't have the balls to roll down the window first (probably your wife or girlfriend, so you get a pass on that one). Then we move to the second pic and we see the nice carpeted dash pad. I don't think I need to comment on this any further but I'm curious if your car also has a nice steering wheel cover to match the dash pad? Do you know someone at Pep boys to get a discount on all those cool aftermarket mods you have on your ride??

Ok, I'm just playin with ya, and I know you weren't putting the guy down and just wanted to share something moto related that does look pretty funny. I would have done the same thing.

For you guys that don't live in SoCal, believe me, the 10 is not smooth and has some portions that feel like a whoop section. Also, why sell the convertible that is much cooler to hit the beach with so you can impress a bunch of bro's once a week at best with your lifted F350? It's a pain to park a full size ,truck in Hollywood or at some of the cooler parts of town as most of the spaces are pretty tight. You don't look cool pulling a 16 pointer getting out of the lot or worse yet, letting the vallet give it a try. I dont see any mulisha stickers or rockstar/ fox logos so the guys is all good in my book. #coremotobro

I am looking to get one of those folding trailers and a receiver on my Sentra, the car we were driving while taking this picture. When the trailer goes on sale, I will use a 25% off coupon and get a killer deal. The towbar I am looking at is about 200 bucks with everything I need, including wiring. The trailers take some work to get together and some ply wood to sheet the deck.

It is very bright in Socal and I have eye issues in bright light. That gray dash cover does a lot to keep the glare down on the front window. It's grey and the carpet is very dull so it reflects very little light back up onto the window. Traffic is crazy is socal, I use those fish eye mirrors to change lanes all the time. Much safer than turning head to check the blind spot. I have no blind spot now. My gf took that picture. I saw the s2000 in the slow lane coming up behind us and I could see the handlebars sticking up above the car. I told her to get her camera ready.
