I like it when going to rides in town because it is so easy to get the bike on and off the vehicle. When we go on long trips, we break the bike down and travel with it in S&S cases. We still take the rack with us so that we have an easy way to transport the bike at our destination.
For shorter trips, we just break the bike down into two pieces using the front S&S couplers and carry it in the back of my wife's crossover SUV. A couple of minutes on each end and we are ready to go.
I don't like travelling long distances with the bike outside the vehicle in the elements. To much opportunity for bad things to happen.
