Depending on the bike you have you might be able to dismantle certain parts and stuff it in a tough bag. Thats my plan for DHing. I'm going to slide the stanchions out of the upper crowns so basically the whole wheel/fork comes off, remove rear wheel, move handlbars around. Should fit in the trunk or passenger part of the cabin.

Be careful with a trunk rack: the metal clips that run straps to the top of the trunk lid can leave scratches if the weight shifts...it did to mine.

There was a write up on how to weld a hitch rack to your frame but required some other medium-invasiveness mods. Let me know if you want to go that route, maybe I can find it (unless it was in DavesZ#3's links already).

Quit acting like your cars are supercars, lol. It may not look great but he's getting utility out of it, and I'm sure he isn't going to keep it on 24/7
