2010 Mini Cooper S
Hello everyone. My wife and I just bought a 2010 Mini Cooper S hardtop in Houston, Texas.

It's her car primarily but I will be the maintenance man and chief farkeler.

First modification will be a hitch bar to tow a 510 pound motorcycle on a "Trailer in a Bag" motorcycle trailer.

Does anyone have any recommendations or experience with tow bars?

Thanks.

Joe

Thanks for all the nice words, and yes, I'm towing the motorcycle as back up because my Mini has no spare tire!

And my motorcycle has ... no spare tire... Nevermind
