ok I admit it I built a trailor for a little 8 food boat I built used to tow it to the launching ramp let the kids play for an hour or two them go get it. had a 3/5 horse motor on it and boy do you get some weird looks backing down to launch or retrieve but hey it worked pulled easy and was really no problem to launch or retrieve oh ya I was riding a gold wing at that time with a home built hitch..have no pics that I can find. give it a try only live once..oh ya at that time I could even put both kids on the bike no law against it at that time..boy will that get the safety cop going..

I'd want brakes on the trailer if the load is a little heavy.

I used to pull my jet ski with my Goldwing/sidecar and had no trouble doing it. A big plus with the wing is that it had reverse. I could stop all traffic on the boat ramp when I started backing the jet ski into the water. I got scared one time when the water was real low and I had to back the wing all the way into the water to get the jet ski to float, I just knew if I killed the motor I was really in trouble, the pipes were under water and bubbling like crazy. I look back at some of the stupid things I've done and wonder how we got this far and still alive.

My bike is for riding, do you go grocery shopping on yours too? I went so far as to remove my passenger pegs and rear seat so girls would stop asking me for rides. Every try to lean a bike over with an extra 100 pounds hanging onto your back? No fun.

P.S. Yes I'm married so I wouldn't get the bonus at the end for giving girls rides.
