Your caddy has more power and better brakes that either my Ford Focus or my wifes Honda Accord. BOTH of which have towed my bikes and trailers many thousands of miles. Alot farther than your talkin'.

Ship the car, Ride the bike.

 

Dude, thats a two day ride! ride that *****!

 

Well i feel much better about using the caddy to tow it.
I might not have time to modify a trailer AND wait on the VIN tag and get it registered/inspected before I have to cut out unless I find something I can just swap the title and get plates all in one. If not I'll just ride the damn thing.

Thanks for all the advice

 

I think you just gave yourself the best advice;
"just ride the damn thing."

 

got a uhaul rental trailer (not the enclosed one) and towed my son in laws bike from louisiana to washington state using the daughter's malibu.

no issues. and i think the trailer rental was about $150.00. a lot cheaper than buying a trailer, titleing it, and putting plates on it.....

 

Fly me there and I'll ride it for you then fly me home.

 

What will registration cost you there? In Tx a home built trailer like you are talking about is around $40. Title not needed on small or boat trailer.

 

I'm guessing about the same price but all trailers here have to have a VIN therefore they have to have a title. So I have to apply for a title and pay the fees, then they send in all the info and mail you a VIN tag you have to attach to the trailer. Then once you get the VIN attached you have to have it inspected by a law enforcement official. Then you can go get it registered and plated.
I have my 2nd phone interview Wed. I just got to thinking if they offer me the job I will likely only have my 2 week notice to get ready. Not so sure the govt can get the paperwork done that fast with mailing and all.
The small boat trailer I found initially doesn't have a title so I may have to find one thats already tagged and titled, just transfer to my name.

My buddy just saw a nice, small one bike trailer for sale in town so I may go look at that today. Said he wants $800, if I can get him down to $600 I may go for it.
I guess my biggest concern was can a car this size haul a bike and small trailer safely. I never seen it done but from the great feedback you guys are giving it sounds like it shouldn't be a problem.
I've got too much time fabricating custom parts and doing the paint on this bike to watch it go sliding down the interstate attached to a trailer. LOL

 

Wouldnt hurt to read the towing info in the Caddy manual.
