Helmutt Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Should be fine. Not like you're pulling a 20' scarab up a boat ramp from a dead stop, you may loose some speed now and then but the cars got enough nuts to drag a couple bikes up a hill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mykill Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Trailer question: So Tim and I decided to trailer down so we can enjoy the riding and not be exhausted, but I got to thinking today about the hills and my small car. I know for a fact my 2.5L 6speed mazda 3 can handle both bikes on flat ground, but do you think its too much to ask on hills? I just dont want to get stuck on a hill somewhere and burn out my clutch or something.You'll be fine. If my 4cyl accord could pull my bike and a 600lb aluminum uhaul trailer to Tennessee and back you'll be fine in hocking. Pulling my bike on the HF trailer after that made it feel like nothing was there. The hills aren't that bad and surely are not mountains.

rollnhot Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 We'll surely have some beers at the cabin though.....I don't want a post-hard liquor ride Saturday or Sunday, but a few beers is mandantory right?! As long as its Shiner Bock, count me in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Anderson Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Hey everyone I would like to go just wondering if there are any beginner groups forming or maybe a slow and go group lol. Don't think I'm ready to be flying through turns just yet. Also is everyone staying in cabins most likely or just riding back after the group ride? I also might have 2 friends coming along. 1 is also on here and the other is not. Depends on how their bike situation works out.Hey I would also like to join in the Columbus group. I will be riding in with Mike and hopefully our other friend can make it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
