I have also seen hitch mounted motorcycle carriers that run across the back of the vehicle.
Thanks!....I think the HF option would work if all hitchcarrier.com options would not (I'm thinking Yaris re towing).

Towing a Grom on a trailer with the Yaris would be a no brainer. Also, you could make all kinds of cargo arrangements on the trailer for other things besides the Grom.

And use the trailer for other projects besides!

WHat a good idea!

A very noble ideal. One that I think about returning to by moving to the northern part of my county. Here in the southern part of the county, I prefer the population and construction levels of 5 years ago to the current levels.

I sat on a Grom at a motorcycle show last month. So cool!

Nice pic of the car and the motorcycle as well. I just bought my 2013 Toyota Yaris. I'm a motorcyclist as well. Did ride a 2009 Honda shadow Spirit ( gloss black ).
