Im buying a quad 250 2X4 that i would like to transport from Florida all the way up to my moms farm in Wisconsin. The quad weighs about 375 lbs. which is relatively light so i was thinking...why not buy the biggest reciever hitch/bumper and then construct a platform for the quad to 'piggy-back-ride' on the back of my westy. The quad and van would be positioned to look like a Toy Poodle, trying to make love to a Great Dane(or the quad driving up the back of the van, bottom facing the hatchback) I wont be able to access the hatchback but oh well, I dont like dealing with trailers. I also thought of installing airbags to compensate for the weight. I probably would have to buy one of Garys custom welded for the vanagon bike racks as well. link to garys racks:http://www.telusplanet.net/public/gary2a/rack/vanagonrack.htm i remember someone from the list doing this with a large dirtbike. This is probably going to cost more than a nice motorcycle trailer. Any ideas? thanks Phil ===== Phil 84' Westy...Tiico'ed 00' Cannondale MTB 95' S9 Skateboard 04' New Balance 705 All Terrain's __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
