Truck and Trailer needed....

[Crawlin]

Anyone want to go to Indianapolis with me? Pick up a bike next Tuesday?

Any rental places have a truck with a hitch on it?

Get to go to Vance & Hines shop and meet Eddie Krawiec if you come :) haha

U-Haul rents pickup trucks and vans with hitches. They also rent trailers. If you bring it back the same day it'll only cost you $50 plus gas.

[Crawlin]

Will have to try that out. Thanks!

althought it looks like it's $0.59/mile and it's about 270 miles there.

So almost $250 for that one for there and back mileage.

I can tell you from experience that the U-Haul van would probably fit any bike you wanted in it as well. They're pretty decent size Econoline's.

[Crawlin]

Thanks again!

I just saw an Enterprise ad with a pick up truck in it. What kind of bike? Will it fit in a pick up? U-haul is cheap, but they kill you on mileage. And they only do motorcycle trailers local. When I picked up my Capri the van I rented it was a $1 a mile.

[Crawlin]

it will fit in the back. just hate having to trust them to have a ramp, guess I could bring one from work too.

You rent the U-Haul as a local. Pick it up early and bring it back before they close and I'm pretty sure they don't check the mileage as long as you rent it as a "local" rental.

[BoosTT]

You would be suprised at the prices on uship.com

[TheRX7Project]

Ah nevermind U-Haul charges by the mile.

Unless they have changed things since December, you are wrong. They check and they charge. A lot.

It's Vance and Hines. They should have a ramp or a fork lift or a loading dock. Or since you are being kind enough to buy their bike they should be able to find four schmucks to lift the bike into the truck.

[juicedimpss]

daily direct would haul it for less than it would cost to rent a u-haul.
just sayin

[Crawlin]

then I'd have to wait for it :) haha.

and I know stew... it's nice to ASSUME, but i've been burned before on that type thing, haha.

[-stew-]

So, what is "it" that you're going to git?

If I still had my Duramax I'd be down - but I gave that up for a Jetta TDI a few months back. If you need a trailer, Tom's Trailers in Meno Falls had enclosed bike trailers.

[Nix]

If you needed a trailer I could lend you my snowmobile trailer. It may be kind of overkill but none the less a trailer. Its a 2 place 101x10 with a salt shiled.

Let me know if it would work for you or not and I could bring it to work one day. I work in Waukesha off of bluemound right near Spancrete.

[Car Guy]

Rent a Trailblazer or Explorer/Mountaineer from Budget, they have factory class 3 hitches with wiring.....:)

[Crawlin]

Thanks guys for the offers and the information. Gonna do some checking around to make sure it all can work out.

[UnderPSI]

Call me, I have an enclosed motorcycle trailer with a ramp and floor tie downs.

[lordairgtar]

Hitch hike down and ride back

[Crawlin]

If I had any sort of trust for decent people in this country other than my friends, I totally would.
