As of Friday morning, I still hadn’t completely decided what to do for the extended 4th of July weekend. Eventually decided I should visit my parents.

Then it occurred to me that it would be fun to be able to ride the trials bike on my parents land. But how to get the bike there. I don’t own a truck or a trailer, and my car doesn’t have a trailer hitch.

But perhaps the motorcycle would fit inside the car. It was worth a shot.

So after some measurements with the tape measure, I went to work putting the bike in the back seat of my car. First step was to get the back seat out. Then some minor dissasemly of the bike (wheels, rear fender, and gas tank off). Then a bit of munging, and it fit.

Once I got it packed up, headed home, and unpacked it in the morning.

My parents have 8 or so acres, so I had plenty of room to ride. The most fun was the creek crossings. Though I ended up with the bike stuck halfway up the bank plenty of times.

Setup some random man made obstacles as well (car ramps, logs, wood piles, etc). So got some practice in. The heat was a bit rough though.
