Actually the guy made it to Prudhoe Bay (which is a lot farther) and back.  I
didn't give him all the credit he deserves.

Geezer

You might want to get some ideas from this site I found awhile back.  It has a
design for a trailer hitch for an LBC.  Even though it's for a MGA I'd think it
might be adaptable to a Triumph.  Great pictures and great detail on design,
installation, materials list, fabrication, assembly and mounting.

It can be found at:

I have to give this guy a lot of credit for having one of the more comprehensive
and fun sites I've seen.  Lots of tech stuff and lots of adventure stuff (e.g.
his trip to Fairbanks and back in his MGA pulling a luggage trailer).

I have been considering having the local machine shop put a hitch on 
my 3.  Buffy and I ride our bikes in several events each year 
including the 200 mile 2 day Seattle to Portland marathan.  I think 
it would be neat to be able to drive the 3 to some of these rides, 
top down, capes flying (Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, we usually ride 
in costume, sometimes Superpeople, sometimes Santa Claus.  We ride as 
the Seattle Supersonics when we finish in Portland where the Seattle 
basket team is generally hated)

Anyway, I think there is sufficient frame near the bumper bases to 
drill and extend for a trailer hitch.  I don't think I would put much 
weight on the hitch or the 3, but a couple of bikes or a windboard 
sounds ok.  Just don't try to pull the yacht out to the coast.
