    So what's with the extra wheel and tire infront of the bike?
    How's it load and unload?

    Couldnt tell you how it works. I would assume that it pivots in some way due to the caster wheels on the bottom. Maybe it's set up like a trailer and the extra wheel is for mobility. Pretty cool though.

    You're joking, right? With our government, you never can tell.

    All I know is the weight of any substantial motorcycle would put me overweight on many of my loads! Never mind the additional weight of mounting hardware!

    Yes this is what I heard too. However after reading this forum you guys make it seem like every law is enforced. Now that I am out here I have had to bring in my paperwork six times (mostly on that inspection day when everyone was being pulled in) and they hardly checked for anything and let me go. I plan on getting a folding mountain bike and placing it in the space in front of my useless passenger seat.

    I don't beleive DOT would question a folding bike inside your cab.
    I never had DOT ask for any paperwork for a motorcycle on my catwalk. Now shippers complain if I have anything on my trailer as they are renting the trailer even if not using all of it.
