Bringing a motorcycle?

That would be the way I'd go too. A small lightweight used enduro.

Them rainstorms on the east side tend to be pretty nasty. But if i really wanted a cruiser. It would have to be a shaft drive. Rusted out chains that wear out sprockets aren't cheap. Don't know how well belts would hold up.

I'm all for packing a bike around. I just wouldn't want the hassle of trying to protect it 600 miles a day 7 days a week. If i were to pack one around. It would have to be something cheap that I wouldn't care if it got trashed.

 

Get a Kawasaki KLR 650; the official bike of the Zombie Apocalypse™.

 

Colour-matched milk crate and bungee cords?

 

That 230 pounds will get you in trouble some places.

 

I saw a sweet bike set up today in Hurricane, WV. Fellow drove up on has bike while I was backing into the spot next to him, and just idled his bike nearby until I parked. I was worried that maybe I had nearly cut him off or something, and he was wanting words with me. Nope. He was just waiting for me to park so he could load his bike.

 

The weight and bouncing is one issue for sure and a way to secure the FWD/AFT movement would be a concern as well. However, mounting anything to the front is going to increase your overall length and you may run into issues depending on your trailer(s).
