Later this month, I'm going to take the L to Indianapolis. I'm also taking my motorcycle in the bed (420 lbs). Obviously I want to travel some of the prettier roads in Arkansas and Missouri.

Any suggestions on how exciting I can travel with the bike in back? I have a Canyon Dancer harness and four straps to the standard strap points on the sides of the bed...

Any thoughts on what tire pressure to run as well?

Thanks in advance,
Ken

If it is strapped down then run it just be ready for the rear to rotate if you lift mid turn. On F1's I would run 36 front 36 rear for harder cornerning.

i basically drove the truck pretty normal with my bike in the back, but it is a YZ250 and only weighs about 220 or so.
