Hey ! go for it, but be sure to run the engine on the DT 400 and
connect the throttles together so you
can use the added power on hills and maybe some way to connect the drive
chains together so the engines
stay synchronize. be sure to post photo's before & after your
trip.....................

I want to go to north Ohio to pickup a bike about 700 miles one way.
it is a DT 400 Yamaha weight without fuel and oil aprox.. 290lb "about
the same as me, wife, and bags on the KLR.
Is there a way to atach this bike behind mine and tow it home?
and I do not nececerally mean sane,safe,good for bike ect.
my Ideah was 2 bars between ither side of the rear axle to either side
of the front axle. then a bar cros wise on the rack to tie handle bars

Ok first of all "WATCH THIS!"
roflmao! Here is my modified Idea someone with a truck drives up there with me to get it?
or I build a small dolly maby 3ft wide 2 12in wheels slot for front wheel I bolts to strap down handle bars and wheel, . This would in effect keep the bike upright and keep it from pulling me over. next 2 flat iron bolted to axle "axle goes through it" 2ft long with bar connecting them behind the wheel. this bar has a hole for a pin same as bar coming from the "dolly" hole would be larger that bolt to allow tow vehicle to "lean in turns" all this would be done at no more than 50mph with 13/43 setup to give more torque. included would be frequent stops to check setup. hot wire to pulled vehicle tail light for running and break light. ??? watch this?

Put a trailer on your KLR
Still risky but not quite as suicidal!

Here is a novel idea:
Take a pillion 'North' for 700 miles and have them ride the
bike 'south' for you. Not much engineering in that, and it might even
be 'safe'--assuming that the DT 400 bike is roadworthy.
Your suggested solution should have plan B and C.
B=911, available in most Ohio communities
C=rev's home number for the funeral
Your plan A is fraught with possibility, but limited in predictable
outcome.
shrug.

1-800-UHAUL.
Carry some tiedowns with you. Strap one bike to the left of the bed,
strap one bike to the right of the bed.

God please don't give those crooks any of your money. Never in 15 years
of moving myself, friends and family have I ever had a single good
experience with UHAUL. I prefer Penske, or Budget, at least they don't
try to pawn off a moving truck with a broken frame onto you (happened to
me twice), or one with zero working lights (twice again), or give you a
27' truck when you reserved a 12' (twice yet again, and all were
separate incidents). Not to mention, I've never been in a UHAUL with
working a/c... Or to a UHAUL store that didn't make the US government
look efficient in comparison.

And to be honest, renting a budget truck is still going to run you
approx $400-$500 for the one way trip. Though it is likely better
than 2 wrecked bikes and 1 wrecked person.
