HI
if you take the van you should be very careful if you get in a wreck you will have 800lbs of rocket bouncing around in the van. if i was to do that i would get a heavy strap to go around the rear wheel and take it out the back door and tie it to hitch or frame.

I just bought a set of (4) straps that are rated for 4400 lbs. each. That outta hold er !
 
Just jam the motherf#cker in the van and go and have a fat time with all the fellas Fred :D we just did 10,000 kilometres across Australia and back with my Speed Triple in the back of our (ute) pickup .. with the tail-gate down :rolleyes: .. didn't move an inch !!

Agreed...full speed ahead and **** the torpedoes!!
 
Lupe my good man. I just did a walk around and it appears I don't have a truck OR an suv. All I could find was (2) cars, neither of which, has a hitch (I should be a rapper ;-).
The cost of having a hitch installed and renting a trailer is about the same as renting the van. Going forward, the hitch probably wouldn't get used again. Eventually I plan to purchase a toy hauler so I can go farther away and ride without burning up all my vacation getting there. The problem is, even the smallest toy haulers are to heavy for my car to pull so I would still need a heavier duty vehicle.

As for you, I'm sure there are days when your stumbling around looking for a paint brush and you come across trucks and suv's you forgot you even had :D
Nahhh, i'm downsizing, i'm down to 5 cars, a truck, 5 motorcycles, a motorized bicycle and a regular bicycle:D
 
I did the plywood and chock arrangement prior to getting the lift table. Works great.

If you can get your hands on a Cycle World or Rider magazine, there are Harbor Frieght coupons in there that knock off a lot on the chocks. The large black one can be had for $45-49 and the mid size silver ones go for around $25. I use the large black one on my plywood sheet and 2 of the silver ones on my trailer.
