All you need to haul both bikes is a 4x8 or 5x10 flatbed trailer with a ramp, and they can be had pretty cheap. There's also a small fold up trailer at Harbor Freight which may work if you don't have much space to store a trailer.

Harbor Freight sounds good but we don't have them up here in the GWN. We do have Princess Automotive that is similar. They usually have trailer parts but not actual trailers to the best of my knowledge. Even the smallest trailers around here are about $1000 and go up from there for something useable to haul a bike. A nice 2 bike trailer with a full width ramp would be $1300 and up. Not a bad price but no where to park it if I buy one.
