Deron got creative yesterday

1400pilot · 03-04-2007

I needed a new way to carry our motocross bikes to and from the races, and use my camper also, nothing like AC and beds to sleep in over at a 2 day event, so after thinking what would work this is what I came up with, we ran new supports from each frame rail and tied them together, and then added 2 inch reciever hitches and built the carrier. works like a dream!!! now we are all set as the racing season starts in 2 weeks, now just need to practice!!!

Cool Deron..... a man of many talents!

Nice looking rig...

*pitchinguy* · 03-04-2007

Nice job Deron!

So, do you leave the big boy cryin in the garage??!

*Tod* · 03-04-2007

That's pretty cool. And with 2-2" hitches, it should have no trouble carrying the weight.

Um, better put a light or some reflectors back there though.

I know I had to go and see the 1600 for a little bit, but I turned him into a KX1600 on my Arizona trip out in the desert in Death Valley, so now he wants to race also!!!

but mojo just cant quite carry a double, and thru the whoops section of the track he also struggles..............but on a straight away nothing can catch me...........

but he's big enough I think that he would work well for a bump pass

*jukief* · 03-04-2007

Very cool, Deron. Looks like you're going to have a lot of fun this season. I'm jealous!

BigJohn · 03-04-2007

Looks great. Nothing like comfort on the road.

*anamosity* · 03-04-2007

LOL...

Now that's a sure sign of a pro right there!

Nice job, Deron. Maybe you should make those and sell them?

zedx11 · 03-05-2007

good job Deron.

good idea, not drinking till the project was almost done. LOL

pat0021 · 03-05-2007

Sweet rig, but it does make you're tail lights hard to see. Hope that doesn't cause problems for ya!!

*ispeed77* · 03-05-2007

nice job Deron, much easier than puting the bikes in the back of the truck.

yeah, good point
he could always take the Superduty from the shop

Frankt07 · 03-05-2007

its a good thing he used Ford quality steel in that frame. if he would've used Chevy steel, it would be bending in half from the weight of those bikes

*ispeed77* · 03-05-2007

he may not drive the right thing, but at least he knows where to use quality stuff.
man, we are really abusing him on his own thread.....gotta love this place
