An emphatic NO.

Although I thought so for a while.

As I have posted on here previously, this Summer I bought an RV - a motor home which I have named (because I name stuff - boat people tend to be like that) HATARI. At the time I bought it I was certain I would have to sell either the New Jeep or Bambi to make the dollar$ coming in wrap around the amount needed to go out.

At first it was going to be the Red Jeep - which would have broken my Heart - and then I thought maybe it should be   more...

An emphatic NO.

As I have posted on here previously, this Summer I bought an RV - a motor home which I have named (because I name stuff - boat people tend to be like that) HATARI. At the time I bought it I was certain I would have to sell either the New Jeep or Bambi to make the dollar$ coming in wrap around the amount needed to go out.

At first it was going to be the Red Jeep - which would have broken my Heart - and then I thought maybe it should be Bambi. Which I then realized would mean breaking my Soul.

So - through some creative actions (legal!!!) taken in the days immediately prior to the Current Financial Whatchyamacallit, I have managed to establish things in a way that, for now and the immediate future, at least, Bambi still belongs to DT.

Now, for the record, I bought Bambi while living in Oklahoma City, from the HD dealer in Albuquerque, and the bike was delivered to me in OK in a trailer.

Since that time, every mile Bambi has travelled has been on her own two wheels, with my butt in the saddle.

In other words - she's never been trailered. Not to Colorado, not any of the numerous trips to Texas and New Mexico, not to South Dakota and Wyoming, and not to Utah.

Right now I am checking out devices to mount on Hatari's back end with which to hoist Bambi up snugly (and safely) to the motorhome's fantail and still be able to tow a Jeep in line astern.

All this is in preparation for retirement, which gets further off into the future every day. :^)

My question is - if I haul Bambi hoisted - more or less aboard - the motor home - is that as degrading as putting her on a trailer?

DT less...

I say just use a come-a-long and hoist her up on the front of the "palace on wheels" and attach with lots and lots of bungee cords.

I have a better idea, and one bambi might like...hire me full time to follow you on the bike, that way you can ride it when you get to where your going, and no need for a trailer...and you have to pay for the gas..lol

I have used some of the bigger trailers. Used can be picked up for under 4k look around Ebay. Also check your length for what states you may get into, law varies from state to state.
Also it is very quick to just let the straps go and get your rides out. Not to mention that you can take a group of bikes to Sturgis for your friends and make then pay the gas.

Depending on the length overall. Check into an enclosed trailer that would hold both the jeep and Bambi. Both would have easy access and no one could be embarrassed about being on a trailer.
I know many who trailer to a location and ride the area without having to get a hotel. Makes very good sense to me.
