Help! Need to transport a GS1200 on its side. Bad idea?
Hey all
My girl and I took off on a road trip around Arizona. Unfortunately, the weather's really gone against us and we're currently snowed in up in Monument Valley.
I don't mind riding in a bit of snow and ice but this is too slick and windy to risk any real distance in, especially with big rigs sharing the road.
Fortunately we've been offered a ride to into flagstaff tomorrow the morning, but the guy has a large pickup with a truckman top, so we can't put the bike in upright (and will have to lift it in)
The question is, can a BMW (with some flimsy looking BMW cylinder guards fitted), be transported on its side? Are they that rugged or is this likely to wreck the bike?
Would really welcome opinions or experiences as we're in a real bind here
