I am thinking about transporting my PCX150 on a bumper carrier behind my motor home. Anyone doing this that has any tips for me re: tie downs, carriers to purchase etc? I have a 32Ft class A
Winnebago motor home. Any feedback or tips from people that have done or are doing this would be appreciated, pictures would be even better!!

Tie down would be the same as transporting via truck/road train I suspect. Presumably a flat floor, secure the wheels/rims and a strap over the seat to hold the rest. I'd also consider strapping the bars to prevent unwanted movement (movement = wear = potential damage or deterioration).

Good luck. Let's see the photos once you're all done.

I assume you are talking about a HITCH mounted scoot or MC carrier?

I have yet to haul the PCX yet, but I've used my Versa Haul bunches of times on a Big Ruckus and old Elite 250.

The Versa Haul is a bit more expensive than most and very heavy is my only complaint.

Get some good tie downs and a Canyon Dancer handlebar tie down rig setup.

Most 2 inches receiver hitches are rated for #500 so you are good to go there..

I used mostly on a diesel pusher that I don't own anymore, but I still have the versa haul!

Oh Gosh! 8) There's that Big Ruck of Chuck's! What a beauty, heh? Just when I think I've forgotten about its existence....There She Be! A scoot that I will never forgive myself for walking away from. Ah well. I do dig my PCX and we do get to See chucktuna's every so often. Thanks for that ;)

Very Good info, pics and links provided!
I'm tossing in one more that you can browse. Lots of stuff here: http://www.discountramps.com

I purchased HitchHauler from Walmart for $119 and it works great on the stern of a Winnebago "Brave"!

That's is so awful it is fantastic. I'd have one. Any pictures of the inside. I've just bought an old 17 seater minibus to take the kids, grandkids and friends on days out. Looks cool next to the neighbours mclaren. Hope I don't reverse over it

I read your very informative write up. Thanks

Like mentioned in that thread, the only things I would add are a canyon dancer strap for the bars:

and some kind of magnetic trailer light kit...

Do you want a picture of them both :D

The minibus is an LDV. Possibly the worst vehicle in the world. GN2 will wet himself
