Designed by our engineering team with AutoCAD and manufactured in the USA in our plasma CNC facility. No details have been over looked. The Mighty Hauler 1000M motorcycle carrier uses the industries only “Sway Lock” technology to ensure the motorcycle does not sway during travel. The “Sway Lock” makes strapping the lift to the vehicle unnecessary. The “Sway Lock” pin is ¾” and also works as a safety pin taking pressure off of the cylinder. Everything on the Mighty Hauler is CNC cut to a ten thousandths of an inch. Nothing is hand cut. This allows us to custom create each piece which gives the Mighty Hauler the strength and stability it needs. Once you own a Mighty Hauler RV motorcycle carrier the quality will speak for itself. When you choose the Mighty Hauler 1000M motorcycle carrier there are no attachments that cost extra money. Everything is included. The Mighty Hauler 1000M has been engineered to lower to within 1” from the ground allowing us to build the loading ramp right on the storage platform. This means there are No Extra Parts needing to be stored or carried. You also do not have to deal with trying to drive an 800 lb. motorcycle up a steep incline. The platform is 8” across and 81” long, which makes it large enough for the widest tires and longest bikes. The hauler also includes brackets for storing the jack handle. The Mighty Hauler 1000M RV motorcycle carrier has a standard 2” hitch receiver to flat tow a car up to 5,000lbs with the addition of the three point hitch.

The hauler has over 18” of travel and the motorcycle platform will be raised to a full 4” above the hitch for plenty of ground clearance. The main upright tube has two extra holes for extra tie down stability. Four tie down loops are integrated into the design for both added strength and stability. This is much stronger and safer than simply welding tie down brackets on.

Dirt Dame & Robert Accio: Thank you for your replies!

Forum Members, Hello. I am thinking of purchasing a used, small displacement (50cc-80cc) dirt bike for young boy to introduce him to the world of motorcycling. The target riding areas would include OHV, BLM and state park regions. (Ocotillo Wells perhaps) Does an owner of a 50-80cc motorcycle have to maintain a registration? I would be surprised if all the little Honda CRF50s in SoCal are registered. I simply want find someplace for a beginner to ride. A quick search reflected this is may be why green stickers are needed,... if I understand CA correctly. If I am incorrect, please correct me. The seller has a couple motorcycles and it appears they were last registered in 17 years ago. I wonder if the DMV will waive the last 17 years of unpaid registrations or charge for every missed year at $54/two years. I curious what others have done. Do LEO/park rangers even look for registrations on 50cc motorcycles? Btw, I found potential areas at the following area: (If you have a better resource, please share. ) It appears Ocotillo Wells may be the only OHV area in San Diego County. https://ohv.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=1170 https://www.alltrails.com/lists/ohv-trails-san-diego I will try more research on this forum/Web, visit the local dealer or call the DMV for more information when time permits. In the meantime, any feedback would be appreciated since I may look at the motorcycles this weekend. I am guessing the unpaid registration fees will be required to obtain a green sticker. Also, I am guessing the green sticker is only required for OHV areas... and all BLM/State Parks require a registered license-plated dual sport. Is this essentially the policy in SoCal/CA? Thanks in advance! Koonzee The following was pulled from Google: A Green Sticker is similar to highway registration except it allows California residents to operate their OHV off-highway on lands that are open and accessible to the public for OHV recreation. " but they must display an ID plate or placard issued by DMV" "a Green Sticker costs $54 for each OHV and is valid for two years."

Sorrento Valley / Carmel Valley Members: Don't allow deliveries to remain in the mailboxes overnight. The keys have fallen into the wrong hands and replacement locks/keys are on back-order. Insure all shipments if you can not avoid USPS. Letter Regarding my Service Request to Investigate Theft: ""Unfortunately it seems as though the Centralized Box Unit (CBU) that houses the mailbox you pick up from was broken into overnight on Wednesday 8/16/23 and mail was stolen. There has been a string of robberies/mail theft in the area and our zip code has been a hotspot as this isn’t the first time it has happened from the carrier statements we have received. The mail carrier assigned to your route noticed that mailboxes were left open and mail was missing at multiple addresses on his route, and your CBU was a part of that attack. The package we were looking for was delivered before the boxes were broken into so that lets us know it was most likely taken. " "We have two law enforcement agencies tasked with safeguarding the integrity of the Postal Service and the U.S. Mail. You can file a report for any package you believe was stolen while in our care with one or both of these agencies: Option (1): The Office of Inspector General (OIG) is the internal law enforcement arm of the United States Postal Service If you would like to report an incident of mail theft by a postal employee, you may file a complaint online at https://www.uspsoig.gov/form/file-online-complaint. Options (2): The Postal Inspection Service is the external law enforcement arm of the United States Postal Service. Complaints alleging mail tampering or theft from nonemployees come under its exclusive jurisdiction. To report an external mail theft, you may file a complaint online at https://www.uspis.gov/report/ or call the Postal Inspection Service at: 1-877-876-2455."

robertaccio: Thank you for the tire information. I am quite happy with the paddle tire and will swap wheels as needed. Ride safely. David

Slaugo: Hello. I am short on time....but I simply want to drop a line to THANK YOU very much for the wise words of wisdom about the world of Glamis. Your advice is golden! I wish I knew this prior to the Thanksgiving or Christmas holiday break. I am returning to Glamis this weekend. Your information will certainly help with navigating. I will also have a GPS with a backtrack feature, a Garmin/Delorme InReach Exploror SAT comm device and a 2.64 gallon fuel bladder to compliment my 3.2 gallon fuel tank during this trip. Therefore, I will have approximately 5.8 gallons. Giant Loop Coyote luggge arrived this week as well and it will provide a little peace of mind by traveling with a tent and sleeping bag. Compression sacks are GREAT! I like your idea of burying gas in various areas. With every trip, I am learning more about the area and tips on navigating. As you know, Glamis is huge and there is a lot to explore and learn. Thanks again for your generous & GOLDEN keystrokes and for keeping one foot in the SD Adv Rider Forum although you are in TX. BTW, your T7 looks great. I test rode a T7 recently and was quite impressed with it. Yamaha hit the mark perfectly IMHO. I had a XT660Z Tenere in AUS and thought it was nice, especially the dual under seat exhaust for symmetrical saddle bag mounts, fuel capacity or touring range. The T7 is twice the m/c as the XT660Z in regards to the engine and transmission, IIRC. Ride safely and have a great MLK Jr. holiday weekend.
