Don't get rid of the bike...but don't tow it either. Bikes are made to be ridden not towed. I wear my "I rode my bike to trailer week" t-shirt a lot but it seems to **** off the HD guys.

I had one on my '93 T/A & it worked so well, I put one on my '01 10th Ann'y Firehawk.
When you walk around the car, you can NOT see it under there with the bar removed.
And it's functional too. I occasionally tow my bike to auto shows because I can't ride/drive'em both at once.
So to the haters, ..., Don't knock it 'til you've tried it, ...
I can tow 1000lbs down the interstate at 90mph & not even know it's back there, ..., no, that doesn't sound all that safe, ..., but it's fun as hell cruisin' by everyone while towing a trailer & they can't keep up!

I saw a lady a few years ago towing a U-Haul trailer with her '71 Z28 (car looked trashed too... nothing but a shame!) and I never saw anything so CHEAP!

I live in a trailer park, and I wouldn't have a hitch on my TA... So there lol

[QUOTE=BitViper]Hidden Hitch..~$225 installed And its hardly noticable
On my way to the track!

Class 1 style hitches have a 2000 lbs. gross towing weight and 200 lbs. tongue weight unless noted otherwise..The Camaro is rated at 100lbsGTW 100lbs tounge weight


How hard was it to install your hitch? I am going to have to get a hitch as well to tow the Busa back down to the lower 48 states from Alaska. After than its coming off unless I need it.

Thats what sucks about the military.... I'm married, have two camaros, and the busa and they will only ship one vehilce to my next base. And I'm not selling any one of my cars or bike. So Im towing the bike with the Z28 and shipping my other camaro.

I've got one for mine...drove home on leave one time and brought my dad's fishin boat from Ohio to WA with it with no problems. Got mine from http://www.etrailer.com/products.asp...ontiac&t1=&h=e Got a good price and install is a breeze. With ball off, don't know it's there unless you look for it. For those who have made fun of me, I ask 'em if they wanna race and they all seem to say no...I've even offered with the boat behind the car too, lol. Not like there's a lack of power either. Here's one of the car and boat tho,



If you look at this one, the hitch is on the car, but you can barely see it,

Oh yeah, and go to the parts store and buy a good heavy duty electronic turn signal blinker too...factory blinker doesn't like the extra load. Money well spent imho.

I guess I'm trailor park trash too... Use it for one of our waverunners and other stuff. You can't see it unless you know to look for it. It didn't weigh very much either. Very handy if u ask me.

I post pics of my car all the time and noone has ever mentioned the hitch.... course that may all change after people read this lol.

I had to look hard for a pic taken at an angle low enough that u could even see a glimpse of it:
