So you’ve got your dirt bike out front ready to go, but the track\u2019s too far to ride it there. You were hoping to just load it into a truck, but your pickup isn\u2019t available. You look at the wife\u2019s sedan just sitting there, and think: Could I do it? What would she say? How would I load it? What straps do I need? How do you transport a dirt bike on a car anyway?<\/em><\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n Maybe you\u2019ve never run through a thought experiment like that, or maybe you\u2019re just curious. Maybe you\u2019re looking for practical tips on arranging bike transport. In any case, here\u2019s a brief overview of your options for moving your motorcycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A hitch-mounted carrier is possibly the simplest way of transporting a bike using a car.<\/strong> You hitch the carrier onto the back of your car using the receiver tube. Then you load the dirt bike onto it and fasten everything in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Every hitch mount comes with a maximum weight capacity. Some versions also feature extendable trailers that can support as much as 3,000 lbs. But for a dirt bike, the lightweight models should be enough. These are typically available for a couple hundred dollars.<\/p>\nHitch mounts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
