Since the Emma Long ride thread recently got side tracked with tow rig posts (myself guilty) I thought it would be cool to see what folks are using to haul their dirt bikes to ride areas. I know most will be pickups with or without trailers but let's see how you get to the play areas.
I'll start with my first long distance tow rig (copied from the Emma Long thread):
This was my tow rig to the Lake City Colorado area for a few years. 2 WR450F's and a ridding buddy traveling with me in 2011 & 2012. The Civic is a stick so no transmission heat issues, brakes were another matter at times. Avg mpg was in the mid 20's, highs were from Santa Fe up and over passes to Lake City low-mid 30's (no ac needed), lowest was upper teens coming back on IH10 from Fort Stockton to Kerrville using the ac. Trunk was loaded with riding gear for two guys and the back seat was loaded with clothes and such. Going up big hills there were a few turtles passing us.
