If you ride a dirt bike, at one time or another you may be faced with the task of having to transport your bike. You want to be sure that you take every precaution when loading your dirt bike for carrying by another vehicle. It is important that the dirt bike does not hinder the use of all of your signal lights as well as your headlights, brakes and tail lights.
For towing your dirt bike in the back of your vehicle, you want to be sure that you follow all of the guidelines that are recommended for this type of transporting. You have to be sure that under no circumstances, any part of your dirt bike sticks out more than three feet beyond the bumper area. For the same method, you also have to be certain that the dirt bike does not reach out further than the left fender at all. As far as the right fender, the dirt bike should not reach out any further than 6 inches. Both of these guidelines are to obviously ensure safety of other vehicles as well as yourself when you are on the road. Protrusions could be very dangerous and could potentially cause an accident.
When you are connecting your dirt bike for towing, it is key that you secure it to the towing vehicle in more ways than one. It is best that you use added protection to your towing device with some type of a cable or chain. Make sure that the dirt bike does not interfere with your view in any way at all, and you should be off to safely transport your bike.
Whether you load your dirt bike in the back of your truck or you prefer to use a trailer, use these tips to making getting your dirt bike to your destination safe and easy.
