Started off as a joke

I'm not a warm weather guy, I don't own a trailer for my bike...where there's a will there's a way.

 

Sure there's a way. It's called trailering the bike to where there is no ice or salt on the road.

 

Or ride...one of the two

 

I don't get all bunged-up about the d@mn salt. If ya get a warm day....ya wash the bike. I bought it to ride it......not to sit and stare at it.....cause it's so purrrrrrrrdy.

 

Naw, riding on ice is not my idea of smart. It's really not even my idea of dumb, more like really really stupid. Riding a motorcycle on icy roads gets you right on the Darwin list as far as I'm concerned. I paid too much money for my bike, enjoy my health too much, and don't want to spend the summer without a bike because I was afraid to put it in a trailer to get to warmer climates to ride. But to each their own.

 

kingk9, .....makin more friends again....????


conroskie,,,,, look in a industrial suppy catalog,,, they have tuns of mats,floor coverings,etc,,,
a name that comes to mind is Mcmaster Carr..?

um, don't places like Home Depot have like interlocking rubber floor tiles....?

 

Well when there'sa warm day around here, everyone rides if the roads are clear. It's when it's below freezing that it goes in the trailer. I guess I could just stay home from Daytona if it happens to be snowing this week, which is the forecast. That would be sooo much more fun that trailering itsouth so I can ride in Florida.

 

To get back to your original question, use a material that is "gasoline friendly". Spray on liners and paints most likely dissolve when you get a gas leak or the heat causes the tank to overflow. My trailer has a plastic tread plate type floor that can be hosed out and gas does not hurt it.

 

Put the bike in the tralier get in the truck head out...Hit ice on the road and wreck the truck,tralier and bike. Just glad this florida biker doesn't have these kind of things to worry about. Only thing we worry about is which bikni to look at first.

Most of our Satellite Communications trailers have been soldwith this flooring option.
It has a better "grip" than the standard vinyl and is a "garage floor" product so it has moderate chemical resistance.
I've only seen the black but I believe other colors are available.
