Gary N. Posted April 11, 2011 Share #1 Posted April 11, 2011 This is how my neighbour at the campground is hauling his HD Road King. First he removes the tour pack and windshield. Then he tilts the handle bars down a little. He has a winch to bring the bike in and out. I looked at one of these Prevost motor homes at a big RV show when we were in Tampa Fl and it listed for just over $2 MILLION. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubber Posted April 11, 2011 Share #2 Posted April 11, 2011 Your neighbour has more money than brains, I think. But then again I can't afford one of them 2 million dollar RVs. :rotf: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snaggletooth Posted April 11, 2011 Share #4 Posted April 11, 2011 You would think he could afford a nice trailer and save a lot of hassle. But if ya got the bucks.............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldgoat Posted April 11, 2011 Share #5 Posted April 11, 2011 2 million for the rv 3.5 for the gas:rotf: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if ya got the bucks.............. my buddy has a road king and it isn't difficult to remove the tour pak - takes about ten seconds - the windshield is four or five screws and moving the bars down is easy. if i was in his shoes i won't pull a trailer either - the bike is weatherproof and secure where it''s at but to each his own idea of the perfect setup. just not sure if you can consider yourself 'camping' in a rig like that !!

I don't consider anyone using anything beyond a tent or a tent trailer as being in the category of "camping" and that rig is about as far from that as you can get ... it's really a luxury home on wheels (albeit a tad smaller than most homes). (well maybe a small camper trailer still qualifies LOL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SapperMedic Posted April 11, 2011 Share #8 Posted April 11, 2011 Can you imagine how many RSV's and GW's would fit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two spring latches and the windshield pops right off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary N. Posted April 12, 2011 Author Share #10 Posted April 12, 2011 The RSV is over 10" longer than a Road King so there's no way you're going to get one in that compartment. That blows that idea all to He**....LOL I've seen every method you can possibly think of for hauling a bike while I've been here. I really hate anything that involves hauling the bike exposed to the salt and slush we get in the northern climate when I leave to head south.

DanOh Posted April 12, 2011 Share #11 Posted April 12, 2011 The world would be dull if everyone were the same.... My two cents.... How many nights in very nice hotels can ya get for the price of one of those? If it were a decision I had to make, I would just ride the bike (much more fun) and stay in hotels etc. Heck, for that kind of money you could stay in a nice place for a week, then Fedex a Sh*t load of stuff to the next place on your itinerary and have it waiting for you to arrive.

Brake Pad Posted April 12, 2011 Share #12 Posted April 12, 2011 lets see, last trip, 2800 miles, 700 was the fuel, On the road for 9 days so figure 7 nights in hotels, the bus was cheaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiteSquid Posted April 12, 2011 Share #14 Posted April 12, 2011 just not sure if you can consider yourself 'camping' in a rig like that !! For me, camping is Motel 6........ I am currently shopping for a used RV and it will probably be 0.5% of the price of the top of the line Provost RV's..... Where can I get an RV that a Goldwing will fit underneath without removing parts of the bike?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary N. Posted April 12, 2011 Author Share #15 Posted April 12, 2011 Where can I get an RV that a Goldwing will fit underneath without removing parts of the bike?? Look for a Travel Supreme mid engine model. They have a garage in the back you could put two bikes in or a Smart Car. http://www.rvt.com/picture.php?ad_id=2267602&pnr=2267602_3.jpg http://www.rvt.com/photos2/7602/2267602/2267602_3.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eck Posted April 12, 2011 Share #16 Posted April 12, 2011 Lets be truthful .. There are many on this site (like I), that could not fit in that lower compartment, let alone tie the bike in or to get it out.. I like the garage in the back.........

ahoutzer Posted April 12, 2011 Share #17 Posted April 12, 2011 I went another route. I bought a bike with wheels and an engine, so there's no need for something to haul it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickardracing Posted April 12, 2011 Share #18 Posted April 12, 2011 Nice rig. But personally, I would rather RIDE the bike to my destination and just motel it. You can stay in some real nice places for 2 million plus gas. Then you don't have to worry about unloading that beast on someone else when your done with it.

Folk who can spend $2 Million on an RV don't actually think like that Some of them don't even do the driving themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tx2sturgis Posted April 13, 2011 Share #20 Posted April 13, 2011 That guy shoulda bought one of the motorhomes with a builtin garage at the back: http://www.gulfstreamcoach.com/products/bounty-hunter/gallery.htm http://www.rvlifemag.com/file335/images/haulit335-6.gif http://www.dreamgarage.com/image/resource/1987.jpg http://www.dreamgarage.com/rvs/featured/damon-outlaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
