Has anyone ever towed the voyager with one of those front wheel lift holders that leave the rear wheel on the ground ? Good ? Bad? :thk:

The bevel drive on the end of the transmission that the driveshaft attaches to only gets oil at the bearings when the engine is running. Towing the Voyager XII in that manner will ruin the bearing.

I rent a motorcycle trailer from U Haul when I need to bring the bike somewhere. I had one 9 days last time and it cost me about $250. Not bad when you consider not having to buy and store a trailer.
