Man! That is one fine looking coach! I wonder who that good looking driver is!
PS. I hope the coach was not driving erratically! If it was...probably it was Roro driving.

You were doing a fine job over there in the right lane!! We were in the black Grand Cherokee that roared by u on our way back to Indiana!! (I’m sure u remember .. B). )

Bill, I hope you left your motorcycle behind and did not loose it on the trip :-)

Mike,
It was a quick trip so I left it at home.
Here the weird part of not having the cycle on the back. I think the coach drove better....way better. It might be my imagination, but the coach seemed “happier” not to have the 600lb cycle on the back.
I am seriously thinking about removing the lift and just towing my Jeep. We shall see.

Bill, can you test your theory by leaving the lift and towing the Jeep?

I had a Can-AM Spyder on a Hydralift at the back of my 45 Navigator and cant say I really noticed any difference. The only 'trick' was that I would always add a few PSI to the Tag axle to compensate. If you really wanted to 'engineer' the drive, I'd recommend you weigh the rig with the bike the back and try and balance the tag so the front axle is carrying the same weight as was without. Important for the ride to balance the loads on each axle to 'spec' depending on load. Worked for me!
The new (to me) Newell doesn't have a lift so I have been wondering what to do with the Spyder.
