Legality of transporting GS in a Uhaul

[tt_four]

Easier I'm sure, but I always see trucks like that parked on the side of the street downtown with the ramps on them and all I can ever think about is how fun it would be just to ride straight up into one.

[ohgood]

I had no idea that pic would be so popular.  I would have posted it earlier...   

LOL Pandy.

It's easier than riding them up the ramp, TRUST ME!   

you're kidding, right ? it has:

a big truck
motorcycles, in different stages of assembly
tie straps
a forklift
duct tape
that may be a pear tree in the background, so all we need is a partridge....

LOL Pandy. It's easier than riding them up the ramp, TRUST ME!

So, you'd ignore the ramp and lift it up in there?  

I'll try to do better in the future, your highness.  

Ohgood:  So you like my forklift roof 'eh?  It's a patented design.

Sparkie, are you on the left or the right?  'cause the guy on the right doesn't look like he was working too hard!

U-haul, schmoo haul
use a Ford windstar, and make sure you have a camry engine to take up all the extra room in there:

it's perfectly legal as far as I know.  Just be careful not to end up like this dude and its easier to do than you would think ramp load FAIL!

First off, sweet forklift picture! I just got forklift certified at work (and I'm a programmer, I love my job), I'm going to have to keep that trick in mind next time I have to move my GS anywhere.

As for transporting a GS in a Uhaul, go for it! I actually rent box trucks on a semi regular basis, and I always return them by tossing my GS in the back and just unloading it when I get to where I have to drop the truck off. Unloading the bike right in front of the guys I'm returning it to doesn't phase them at all. I don't recommend Uhaul in general though, their trucks are awful and their prices aren't even that good, once you factor in mileage. Go for a local place, you will be so much happier. The place I go to is cheaper than Uhaul and has super nice trucks with lift gates instead of ramps, which makes loading and unloading things like motorcycles way easier!

You know how to pick up a quarter with a forklift, right?   

That should have been a part of your training.   

Agreed on the no U-haul comment.  They have aluminum decks anyway.  Far harder to molest for motorcycle tie downs.  I recommend Budget or Penske.
