alain, you might consider renting a u-haul if you have doubts. not all that much so i've heard and they do have a "motorcycle" trailer. and, after all, you'll be hauling your new baby! i never was a big fan of hauling in the back of a pickup, but i know a lot do it without problems. i did haul a large harley(not sure what model it was, as it belonged to a friend, but it was big) from kansas city to denver in the back of a little '50 chevy pickup i had.
wish you were closer, you'd be more than welcome to my trailer. maybe someday it'll warm up and you could ride her home. good luck, bud
