Looks like a lot of ingenuity and plain old grunt work went into it. desperate times call for desperate measures. I've done worse.

Is that a ladder with a piece of plywood on it?

Yep, and even better was the use of the trunk struts as a tie down point.

After the trunk tears off and the bike falls out I bet this clown wishes he went Uhaul...

First you build a garage, then you look for something to put in it. So the dude finally got his garage built and he needed a motorcycle to put in it. Here he is getting ready to build the garage:

i have a pic somewhere of an older bike being drug behind a car with the front wheel in the trunk. right down the highway. rear tire on the ground.

one of my friends and a friend of his loaded 2 250 dirt bikes in the back seat of an escort(they took the seat out) and drove from iowa to california.

Many years ago I had to swap the smallblock out of an old Dodge pickup & I had no trailer (didn't need one, had a pickup) so me & my mate hoiked out the 318 & rolled the truck outside; I also had an old 115 series Mercedes 220 diesel, so we unbolted the trunk lid & dropped the lump in, drove 150 miles to get the 340 replacement, the guy lifted it out with a forklift & dropped the other in , no sweat, got a few strange looks on the road mind.

I have seen one with a Civic with a rail on the roof and a CBR strapped down to the roof via the four points of the car LOL

While working at a Honda dealer in So.Cal. I would see bikes hauled in the trunk of Cadillacs, several times a month.

I wonder what that guy holding the forks has in mind if the bike jumps that chock. He'll quickly realize he's not strong enough to hold back a Buell.
