- Yes, you can throw your dirtbike in the back of a truck, or behind a four-wheeled vehicle on a trailer. There’s a reason that’s the go-to technique for motorcyclists. But here at On Two Wheels, we’re always looking for an excuse to use a motorcycle instead of a car. So, when we wanted to ride the red rock and powdery sand of Utah, we knew we could find a way to tow dirt bikes behind touring rigs.

Yes, you can throw your dirtbike in the back of a truck, or on a trailer behind a four-wheeled vehicle. There's a reason that's the go-to technique for motorcyclists. But here at On Two Wheels we're restricted to using, well, two wheels. It's the name of the show after all. So, when we wanted to ride to and then on the red rocks and powdery sand of Utah, we knew we were going to have to wade into the murky waters of towing bikes with bikes.
Turns out, trailer culture is plenty strong. Frankly, we always thought those people towing campers or their dogs or even cargo were off their rockers. Then we looked into the market and found lots of options for towing, including special-made parts for both the Honda Gold Wing and the Kawasaki Vulcan Voyager, and no shortage of encouragement from the internet (you can always count on the internet for giving a thumbs up to a bad idea).
So the boys set out to get to Utah, with their CRF250X and KX250F dirtbikes, using only a Gold Wing and a Vulcan Voyager 1700 towing shaky, home-built trailers (using generously donated hitches from bushtec.com and marvellas.com).
Did they careen out of control, or have a great time? Watch the video to find out.

tow the cruisers on the dirt bikes when you're off road
MΣNT0R™ i
MΣNT0R™ dirt bike would dig a hole and get stuck instantly 😂
MΣNT0R™ GENIUS! im gonna go tow a Suzuki B.O.S.S with my Suzuki Rm80. That will work well.
Maybe not the best setup for lane splitting.
bromance at its finest..need more videos of you guys going on an adventure with bikes 😊😊
Love the video but as someone else mentioned I sure wouldn't mind a extended version of these adventures.
Keep them coming guys.
AGREE!
Yep. 30min+ for sure.
Highway pegs get your legs away from the 1700.
welp. this just gave me a reason to like massive touring bikes. i used to think they were stupid. Well played moto mag.
Yeah they really opened a lot of people's eyes with this one!
Why are "cruisers" aka standard bikes stupid?
I still think cruisers are stupid
@@Sig721Tau when did cruisers become standard?
Don't know about America but naked bikes are considered standard in many places of Europe and Asia.
reinterpret_cast ride for more than 2 hours at highway speed in a strait line and you’ll understand
"I'm going to tear your head off if we don't get on the bikes in the next 30 seconds". That's just so damn relatable, I couldn't stop laughing.
Sick! Looks like a lot of fun!
Hey Cruza, glad to see you here :P
same here, i always watch this guy :D
Indeed. You should get a friend with you :)
Ha cycle cruza sell your stealth van and do this
he dont need to sell his van, he can just take his van and his wr250 fucking r baby
I was smiling throughout the whole episode. This is great guys I want to see more motorcycles towing motorcycles.
You guys should make these episodes longer and turn it into the motorcycle version of roadkill/top gear. It's really good!!
so..... ive been contemplating towing my aprilia rsv4rf race bike with my BMW R1200RT..... you have inspired me..... I cant wait to see the faces when I show up to a track day LOL
I didn't know I wanted a Touring bike until right this second...
I went out and bought a street glide to take my ktm 500 excf around the country
I ride a Yamaha Venture and it'll haul anything I sling in a trailer. Been overloaded a few times. 140k and still an awesome bike with storage room to move your house. Great video
Should have used a Harley to haul the extra 250 pounds since that's what they're designed for. Don't believe me? Just look at the women sitting on the back of them.
Anddd root beer just came out of my nose. Thanks
that sir was an EPIC response hahaha hah made my day
LOL 250 Not always true but nice observation. That's why I married Asian girl so I have more room to carry gear.
HAHAHAAHAAAAA
Lmfao
2 wheeled bike on a 2 wheeled trailer being towed by another 2 wheeled bike.....this show definitely lives up to its name XD
You discovered the perfect adventure bike. Eats up highway miles and great off-road.
By far the best motorcyclist channel ever on youtube. Man, they have put so much effort in their videos...... their passion for adventure and motorcycles is awesome.
Great video - really enjoyed that one (and not a gun in sight!) :0) Very jealous of that Utah terrain for off-road fun, nothing like that within thousands of miles from me! Cheers for posting up the vid - all the best - TMF
what?
I guess the flags are there to so they don't get (accidentally) shot!
@@davidbesant no. It’s just so people don’t crash into each other
You know, if you made a one hour version of this video, not a single person would complain. In fact, I'd pay to watch one if you make it.
Damn, true definition of bike life.
I don't bring extra gas,*I bring an extra bike.*
Real heaven on earth with the wing and dirt bikes !!
Don't think we could ever watching this as much as you did living it. Awesome to watch though. This has become one of my favorite youtube channels since you guys took over. So much good stuff. Keep it coming!
why in the world someone would dislike ? Thank you for this great video !
This has to be my favorite episode.
Back to watch it again!
I am so glad you two have not lost your sense of humor.Great video guys.
This channel is like top gear of the motorbike world I hope it carrys on and gets on tv! Come to the UK for an episode!
I need to find me a job like this
This has been my wildest dream since I was young. A great big Wing with a trailer and a enduro bike on it.
That's why I love my supermoto. Light and flickable and can go off road when ever
For the cost of the Goldwing you could get a decent truck haha. Not as much fun though
yeah but by the time you get across country you're exhausted unlike the comfort of a gw.
@@MaxRay16 and the truck would have A/C!
This should have been a 30 to 45 min video. That was awesome!
An idea most novel in its conception and most exhilarating in its execution.
I saw a pair of cruisers pulling dirt bikes on tandem axle trailers. I was in Montana at the time. A couple of months later I read about the pair in the AMA magazine. They headed north to Alaska until the roads ended, then continued on with the dirt bikes.
Effing love it! Way to go unconventional yet keeping it pure and honest. More please.
I'm always hauling things so the street bikes go on the back shelf - this solves my problem! Very cool
Can't believe I missed this episode and did not come across it for 6y! 😮 Awesome watch!
Good idea to use the big bikes as pullers and a great weekend captured on filn Enjoyed it.
I really like the idea of pulling the dirt bikes with the street bikes. I haven't owned anything with 4 wheels for more than a decade now. This is a good way to solution out getting to a good destination with another bike in tow.
Great vid and trip! I would however like to let you know that reweaving your boots outside your tent, in Sandhollow, will almost certainly mean shaking out the little scorpions out in the morning! Yep! If you turn on a black light at night you will see them glowing and scurrying about. Fun vid. Thx guys.
This is amazing, you guys are living the dream.
I don't understand how your channel isn't bigger!!!!!!!! You guys are awesome!!!
I live in Utah. The trails are awesome and so are the dunes. We have got a lot of great scenery. Forests, Dunes, Swamps, and streets. It is great.
You guys are over the top. Definition of a true cyclist.👍
episodes need to be longer love the show
That was pretty badass. Really cool episode! You guys always put out great motorcycle content. Thanks for that and keep it up.
this has been my dream for years.
loved this episode would be even better if you could make them longer .
Those burnouts were very cool
What an awesome journey mixed with a little ingenuity for an open road adventure.
Very genius of guys!!! Really appreciate that idea.
Now that's what I call an adventure! Best of both worlds :)
hahaha! GOLD! this one was awesome! thanks for sharing your adventures with us! great job, spencer, on the shuttle command audio blips. that made me laugh my ass off.
Man that was an epic trip and video!! Very professionally done, filmed and edited!! Great job!
I live in Vegas and it’s so cool seeing some of the best RUclipsrs riding right were did keep the vids coming boys
man ...these guys are living off a motorcycle dream
Before I moved to Texas, I lived in Utah. One of my most favorite places to ride and boat was Sand Hollow. I used to camp there all the time. I definitely miss that place
Oh man, shockproof performance of these two bikes seem great !
One of the best motorcycle videos ever, sorry to see you guys gone!
Fun adventure - and good filming too! Thanks !
Got the voyager, guess i need to find a KX and visit Harbor freight!
I love your videos so much that I'm buying a magazine subscription
Solid episode guys this was killer. Now do this and take some bikes to the track! Do it
As always great video! I just can't get enough of On Two Wheels!
Awesome film guys, loved it. Looks like you had a brilliant time.
One of my favorites. More dirtbikes please!
Awesome episode, and... Hats off for the camera crew, awesome shooting!
This is an amazing idea. An idea I think my wife and I will have to use. Awesome episode.
Great job guys.I'v bin wanting to try this for years with my wing,have the same trailer.Gonna try it with my '83 YZ490.
How did you like it?
"Lazers or Rainbows....?"
"Lazers....pew pew..."
"Well...as long as you're confident...." 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I love the relationship that these two have and that we get the privilege of tagging along like another friend
might add this to the list to do
I wish I had a friend to share such adventures.
These guys are as close to top gear of Moto as we can get
We need more ride videos like this guys. Awesome job!
Great job motorcyclist crew! Very entertaining episode and great adventure!
I have to say that many years ago (39) I bought a brand new Honda XL 185 SA, It was my only form of transport and I loved it. I never did any distance work but I had fun taking it to work 4 days on 2 days off for 8 years the some Green Laneing on days off it was fun. Being a road/trials bike I had to watch it in the rain but those knobbly tyres were OK in the snow and mud, And by the way later on I added a home made trials type side car to it, Eventually scrapped after some body stole it and I decided to go back on to cars
Good episode. I really enjoy watching your little adventures.
You guys are awesome love the videos both serious and playful. Keep up the great work!
this is such a sick video hope you guys had fun on this crazy adventure
Sweet ! This the kind of content that doesn't get old soon ! Good work, guys !👍
I'll be riding from Mexico to California in a few weeks... It will be awesome to meet you guys!
you guys are having to much fun,now I have to try that.nicely done,keep up the good work!!!!!!!!!
This might be my favorite OTW adventure!
4:13 The look on that guy's face has me rollin.
you guys are awesome....my favorite channel..... greetings from India🙏
Awesome episode, probably one of the best ha and I like like 10 mins away from sand hollow!
Great video, great trip, you boys have all the fun!
30 years ago my truck broke down. So I took the body off of the side car frame. Mounted a plank of wood and loaded up the dirt bike. Ive seen pics from the 1940s of riders removing the wheels off the race bikes and bolting the forks to a mount on the back of their street bike. Some would also remove the drive chain. Just don’t go breaking an arm or leg cuz mounting and riding back won’t be fun.
You guys made that look easy!
Awesome video! Looks like you guys had fun. First dude I ever saw with a bike behind a bike was an old guy racing Vintage with WERA. He pulled in at Nelson Ledges in 1989 with a '70 CB450 behind a GL1100.
Good going guys. Loved every moment of it !
Súper awesome video. I live in Utah I go to Moab Utah a list 10 times a year and south west Utah too. I love it. Utah is gorgeous from the most beautiful desert to the amazing mountains.
magazine editor style motovlogging... da best
man,that really marvellous..
looks wired but it work..eye catching..riding All the way..
Now that's a kick ass adventure. Maybe a trip to Harbor Freight is in order for a small trailer. Great video guys, keep'um coming!!!
Inspirational great review idea love it __ NICE! Fantastic scenery great video!!!!! Now I want to do a cross-country road / dirt bike trippy trip!
Thanks, an adventure bike was going to be my next bike since they're the best of both worlds but now I guess I need two bikes!
This is the first time I've ever seen a RUclips video with no dislikes.
great video!! Another possibility is towing gear. alot of people use the harbor freight trailer and a luggage topper for the vehicles. you can tow all your camping gear or anything else you may want to keep dry.
Great job guys! My favorite episode so far. Keep it up.
Genius ride to get there, then ride more!
My dream adventure! Good job guys!
