Please see photos below.
Other than a coincidence between the moped wheels and truck bumper on tight maneuvers, I'm I doing anything really stupid here.

(C-clamps/ ty-downs are just temp.)

You know what they say about being seen riding a moped right?

Other than that, nothing helpful to add ;)

Can you operate the trailer jack?

What is going to keep the bike from going forward or backwards......left or right to the trailer? Most motorcycle trailers hve a verticle piece of the u-channel in front of the front wheel. Then they strap it pulling against it. Then tie the rear wheel down so it can't bounce out.

I'm welding a tie point on the tongue to use normal tie downs as in the pic.
I will cinch the wheels to the channel.

Watch the tongue weight.

Are you sure you want to show up with a moped in this group?

I'll race you on my 50 when we have to go to the drivers meeting to set up all the meetings.

I don't know how much room you have in front of your car on the trailer but I have seen plenty put their pit bike on the trailer in front of the car.

It can't weigh any more than a front tool box. Looks good.

As long as you do what you said you will do (tie down point on the tongue so the strap cant move, cinch down the wheels) I think you'll be just fine.

You should paint the thing to match the race car :D

That bike is really kinda Gay.


I have a Suzuki DR350 with a 440 Thumper kit on it that would look much more like a man's bike.

It's Bev's.
She got it from her sister ($FREE.99).
It was dead when she got it.
Had bent valves.
I put a new head/cam/piston/jug on it for about $350.
Electric start and an auto clutch. Plus with the licence plate (expired) it meets most tracks street legal policies.
At least it's not Italian and a pastel shade of tiddy pink.
