I used to laugh when I seen bikes being trailered. But after all these years of riding there are circumstances where it is just easier to trailer. I don't think I would trailer my bike to a "bike event" but I own homes in a few different states. I always ridden my bike between homes but this time of year, if I had to get to from one house to the other, a trailer would sure be nice.

Right now it's great riding weather in Vegas, but at my other other home in Oregon, it snowed yesterday. And I need to have my bike in Oregon by the end of the month. I just might have to trailer it.

 

Trailors are for boats and broke down metrics

 

LMAO...have to agree

 

I didn't go to Daytona, but I was on I77 last Sunday and there were lots of trailers with HD emblems. I don't believe that they were hauling their tools, because I was in SC and most of their plates were from Ohio, W. VA and other points north. I also had a few of them hanging out in the left lane on me. I don't get the trailer thing unless you are coming and going from a snow covered area. The destination is just an excuse to ride for me.
I'm leaving 4/16 to go to Moonshine, IL just to get a Moonburger. It's a short 700 mile ride. Last year it rained, sleeted, snowed, and had 40 mph winds. That just made it that much more of an adventure.

 

Trailering is a sickness. Call 1-800-Scared-to-ride.

 

You're just wrong. I don't own a trailer, never trailered my bike, but I'm not gonna bust on anyone who does. It's none of your fvcking bidness if someone trailers. You don't know the reasons why, they might have a medical reason. Or maybe they've put in a lot of miles in their lifetime and just didn't feel like riding hundreds of miles in the rain and/or cold. Bottom line, who are you to judge?

 

I always ride, but some folks have to trailer for the kids or medical problems, so it's ok with me and I don't look down on them. I'm planning to ride to Sturgis, but if my wife want to go I will trailer the bike and won't care what anyone thinks. She survived open heart surgery and cancer and can't ride like she used too, so you Bro's on the Go roll on and more power to you. I will enjoy myself either way it goes.

 

I kinda get PO at the trailer guys when they take up ALL the parking places at the smaller motels. And yes, I have seen that happen more than once! By the time they get the SUV or Truck and the Trailer parked, and the bikes all unloaded and parked, I've seen Dudes with ONE room booked take up as many as SIX parking places! I have actually come into the motel late on Friday and Saturday night and the lot was FULL and running over. That SUCKS!

 

Actually, didn't pay anything for gas. Diesel on the other hand.... well that's another question entirely. Mileage for that truck drops with the big trailer, but it wouldn't have been all that spectacular with a small one. Given the snow/ice/rain mix that we drove through, the bikes were going to be trailered either way.

Got plenty of riding in while down there, logged just shy of 800 miles. Most of that unseasonably cold miles. So yeah, we trailered approximately 1600 miles going down and back, but not sure we missed anything.

Will2002 - that's a completely different matter. I can say the only parking spots we hogged were overnight at a Walmart on the way back, and really, I don't think anyone was planning on parking that far away from the store.

 

Only thing worse than folks trailerin their scoots are folks that brag about not trailerin em.
