Not my photo, found it on Facebook. I assume that would put an enormous amount of wear on your transmission, wheel bearings, and countershaft bearing. Especially if taken on the highway.
Take the chain off
Mother of god
Should've at least pulled the chain. Would look legit with a tail lamp
David Bailey did the nationals like this one year. He used a wheel with a street tire on it.

I can only imagine some dick at the rest stop clicking it into gear while you are in the store lmao
also yea smoked tire, bearings at some point , I could see it wondering and falling over.
My buddy has a Taurus with a trailer he hauls with, much better than the drag method
How do we know the KX isn’t being used as a pusher engine to help the Civic get out of its own way?
His rear tyre suggests that this is a common occurrence... 😂
I've gotta give it to the guy though, if he wants to ride and that's his only option, he's making it happen 👍
I remember seeing a picture of his set up in Dirt Bike or MXA magazine Year’s ago. Was he pulling a Kawasaki or a Bultaco ? I have never been able to find a picture again.
I've seen guys like this show up at Grantsburg MX. Its insane, funny and stupid all at the same time. But the guy at Grantsburg put his rear windows down, attached the tie down straps to the handlebars, then wrapped them thru the windows and hooked the tie downs to each other. Not even kidding. Guy if you're on this forum, post a picture.
Street bike bearings last tens of thousands of miles, keep them greased and they'll be fine.
Exactly. Very little load on all the components in this situation. No rider weight and everything is just freewheeling. Other than rear tire and chain slider wear I don’t see a problem.
Kawasaki
Used to race with buddy that would take bike apart and put in back seat and trunk of small car, reassemble to race and take back apart for trip home.
I kid you not, I had a friend who wanted to get into riding....but he owned a 78 Nova. That didn't stop him. He "trailered" his bike around just like that.
He only did it locally though, not on any highways or the like.
Dude wants to ride LOL but maybe skip the graphics and seat cover and get a Harbor Freight trailer for about five six hundred bucks might be safer for everybody LOL🤷♂️
That light little shit bag of a trailer will be hop scotching down the road the entire time lol. “Say bill, what’s your little smart car tongue weight capacity?”
Pit Row
When you need to ride, you need to ride!
I once took the gas tank and one of the wheels off of my '78 Yz125, then stuffed it in the back of my '79 Toyota Supra!
I then drove it down to Palm Ave in San Diego for some riding!
After riding for a few hours, I had a hell of time getting it back in the car.
So worth it!
That's incredible
Are the tie-downs on the trunk hinges? That might actually be the craziest part of this picture.
The bushings on the freewheeling gears in the trans...ouch
Take the chain off.
put your bike on a stand and spin the back wheel. Feel that drag? What do you think that might be?
He could have at least taken the chain off, then he would have only been ruining his rear tire.
