Sweet combo, the best of both worlds.

Hey it's your Vette, and if your going to tow something, I can't think of anything better.

To AtHomeSoda,
I wondered when someone would ask about the seat on the bike.
I remove the seat when traveling as it is not bolted on.

Thanks again for the nice comments. Trailer Queen.....not really. The only time it's trailered is long distance to a rally. Partying for 4 to 5 days and riding home is not fun to me. I guess I'm getting old...55 last June. Bike is less than a year old and has 3500 mile on it.

There's really no reason to not tow a trailer. DrawTite makes a hitch specially designed for a Vette, is bolted to the frame, and 2,000 lb rated.

I'm getting one for a hitch-mounted bike rack...

Where did you buy your hitch and do you ever have scratching on your chrome tips from the chains? Did you just tap into the brake lights or do you have a separate interface like U-haul?
