Nice toy hauler! And a very good point. I don't have a trailer but that doesn't mean that I can't appreciate what they have to offer.

 

no this makes no logical sense.

if your bike is some kinda race-track-job, or not road-worthy, by all means put it on a trailer.

but if you're able-bodied and you're hauling your bike to another state i think you kinda forgot what motorcycling is about.

and if you feel discriminated against put your aclu panties on and take it up with a lawyer.

sorry but either you ride or you dont. we're right to make fun of you for not riding. why buy a motorsickle if you can't ride it?

i made some nice slogans for this argument:

put miles on it, not polish!
dont get butthurt on the internet. do it on the interstate!

 

And, apparently, Harleys on the way to Daytona and Sturgis.

 

My feeling after reading all of these anti trailering posts is that now I know who the true posers are ! Those so vehemently against trailering seem to be entirely centered on trying to portray the image of being the "true" biker. They will ride trough rain, sleet and hail and as fast as they can so they can be seen arriving jealosly by all, after all they are the "true" bikers.

 

Im with Mid Life.......What does it matter? If you trailer and you're happy, do it. If not, then don't. A real biker appreciates life, period. End of story.

 

Currently I have 4 motorcycles. Sometimes I will do a cross country on one. Sometimes I will take more than one, and they go on a trailer. I have bikes that are much more than my pretty one dimensional Harley. As in get off the road and truly discover what motorcycling is really all about.
My Harley can do some gravel, but not jeep trails or gnarly single track like my Adventure bike or Husky TE450. And those two bikes can't do the highway like my Harley. And none of my bikes want to sit around in traffic for a bike week just posing back and forth up and down the street showing everybody how obnoxiously loud it is. My bikes and I prefer to actually put some miles on them during any given week....

 

The main thing I don't like about trailer bikers is it gives them some place to store their generators. I hate camping with a bunch of generators running all night.

It was 14 degrees out the morning I left and I gave some passing thought to throwing the bike in the back of the pick-up. I didn't, and the feeling has mostly rturned to my fingers and toes.

 

Let's see. It was below 30 and snowing when we left. It rained torrentially until we got almost to the end of Georgia. We had a 10 year old with us. Yup, we trailered. Don't like it? Don't care. Put 1200 miles on the bikes while we were there. Prolly more then some people put on all year. As the 10 year old so wisely said one day. "As long as we ride more miles then it took us to get here we are good."

 

Reminds me of what just happened to my friends father. Traded in his 01 heritage to get an 07 Ultra because he wanted a smoother ride with luggage, fairing, radio, intercom, etc. He purchased an 45' RV shortly after and decided to trade the Ultra in for a 08 rocker C. Figured he would trailer the bike now on long trips and wouldn't need the travel-based ultra. At least he wasn't trailering a bike made for touring.????

 

Dutch, make sure that 10 yr old gets a bike when ready. as for trailers, so what. I don't have one so I ride. I kinda think i wish I had one on occasion. And if I did and used it I'd still ride when i get to where I'm goin.
To each his or her own. If all our boats floated the same way we'd most likely all be bored.....
