Finally got the Hawk to the Mountains
 

Had a great time putting some miles on the hawk this past weekend. I was up in East TN, Cherokee National Forest, at Bald River Falls. Put about 120 miles on the bike! So pleased with my purchase!!!!

Nice pictures! Now tell us about that motorcycle rack on the back of your truck!

I want to know about the entire rig. nice setup!

I'm going to be up there the end of July. Staying at Iron Horse lodge 7/27 to 30. I'm going to take my toy hauler setup to camp.

I'm in Mooresville. not far from you.

THANKS!!! The hauler is from Harbor Freight(link below) I found mine on craigslist for $75

The knock on them is the aluminum piece where the bike rack attaches to the tube that goes into your receiver is soft and will break over time. I had a buddy that is a fabricator remake the piece out of steel. Hauled the bike 700 miles, half at highway speeds and it did well for me.

Thanks!!!

Tepui Autana Sky Roof Top Tent(a little pricey, but they had a big sale going on back in may) I sold a bass boat I had to justify the purchase. Love the quick set up and being off of the ground. suncityoutdoors.com
Haul Master Hitch Hauler from Harbor Freight(with a little modification to make me feel better-see above post)
And of course - THE HAWK!!!!!

Had a great time, unbelievable scenery up there!!

and caught a couple of rainbows, no real size, but man it was fun!!!

Yep, the pickup is sweet.
Thanks for sharing the pics!

I'm in Chattanooga today, but I'll have the rest of the week as "office days." Wish it wasn't raining back home in GA. Not that I'd really have time to go off on a ride or anything; with an expecting Mrs. Emerikol and a move to Arizona on the books, there's a ton of loose ends to tie up. Anybody have suggestions on how to move a 26' camper, 2 cats, 2 dogs, 5 motorcycles, a wife and new baby, and all the other stuff in the house across the country? I'm a little nervous turning the motorcycles over to a moving company. Too many horror stories out there for my taste.

Not to hijack Nickle's thread, I have a similar hauler I got from Cycle Gear. I drove down to Florida with my Hawk hung out on the back of my work truck. Really worked out well. Here's the thread: http://chinariders.net/showthread.php?t=18058
