biker209 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Hello TC owners, I am a biker, motorcycles. I am looking for an economical way to haul one. When I sold my 1967 Dodge window van I thought what I really need is a front wheel drive, good on gas mini-type van to replace it. I have looked at everything and settled on ( a couple of) pick ups. I still want a van. When I saw the TC I thought, " this is what I have been waiting for.". I test drove it and I liked it. Here's he rub, it seems a foot too short. I believe I might be able to fit one of my small bikes, Yamaha XS650, with the front wheel between the front seats. But I need to fit the larger FJ1200, 88 -89 inches (depending on whose holding the other end). So are there any motorcycle bikers out there who have loaded their _________'s into their TC. Or some else's TC. I really want to buy one of these. It works for me on so many levels. Thanks for your input, Biker209 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your input, Biker209 With the front passenger seat pushed as far as it will go toward the dash, and the seat back also pushed forward, you have 86 inches from the middle of the seat back to the back door, 84 inches to the base of the seat. Of course, if you take out the passenger seat, no problem for the bike, but an issue for any passengers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azdamay Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Zepper (one of the members here) uses his for this purpose. Try searching the photos uploaded for his pictures of the bike in the back of the van. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DM613 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 You have 86 inches from the center of the back seat of the back door, 84 inches at the bottom of the seat. Of course. If you go on the passenger seat, no problem for cycling, but a problem for passengers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
