Converting an 25 year old $500 motorhome into a toyhauler, then actually maintaining and driving the thing,with an antique motorcycle in the back...that I built from frame up...is super easy...all the girls are doing it.

 

We have had our toyhauler for two seasons. We love it. Try dancing on the tailgate of a tent.

 

OK I am gonna be a brat. I got a super nice tent for $100 and the bungees to attach it to my bike were like $20. Now mind you I think people should ride or trailer what they want where.

 

Tents are fine if the weather is decent, but when it's raining non stop or the temps are extreme, I'll stick to the camper, thanks... no surprise when the weather's bad my pad is a popular place to be, especially if there's a game on.

 

Went to the same Rally and by the end of the weekend, I was wishing I had one. The tents aren't for me especially with no jesus air mattress.
I sure as hell have no beef with people who want to be a little comfortable when they travel.

Hey Bluenoser, it's Rookie!! haha

 

Clearly you need a bigger trailer so the wife isnt so cramped inside it while your on the road.....

 

Never looked into or considered toy haulers..... This thread opened my eyes. It would be a toss up for me as I like to ride but high heat or cold man it would be nice to come back to that in the evening to sleep in comfort. I am a cheap bastard though and can't see that happening.

 

Guess you didn't really read my post here or the post about iron butt rides. Myself putting 75,000 miles on two Harley's in seven years isn't garage art. Don't remember the miles from the other 31 years of riding before that on the different motorcycles. Somehow you missed the remark in my post on this thread about putting my boots on my cot with me to keep them from floating away in the flood. I could have wrote about the rides to the rallies and back home in the rain, sleet, and heat but this is a trailer thread. We didn't trailer the tent. My trailer is a 6x12x6 bought in 2005 that I installed the windows, carpet, a/c, wheel chocks and tie downs in myself. There is nothing rich or swanky about my haulmark but it is dry when it rains and my toilet is clean. Riding your bike to a rally proves nothing to me but the fact you went. I also find riding a motorcycle to a rally is not an unusual or rare event and doesn't prove much. Sometimes hard for me to tell tough from short bus some days. Enjoy your rides and rallies------I enjoy mine if I trailer or if I ride.

 

man, y'all seem to whine about everything. why give a **** about what others choose to do.

Why is it some people that use trailers feel the need to tell everyone how hardcore they were in the past? Who cares? The same thing happened to me at a couple of rally's. I would walk around talking to people about where they were from or whatever and as soon as they found out I rode out came a their list of how they use to be hardcore or a list of excuses why they did not ride to this particular rally. I never asked them. It reminded me a little of talking to some guys that ride metrics in that they also will tell you why they did not buy a Harley, even if you do not ask. I said from my first post in this thread that I did not care if people put their bikes on a trailer or not. I also do not care how many Iron Butt rides they have done, how many miles they put on their bikes, how many years they have been on a bike or all the wonderful adventure they had in their younger days. Have fun with your trailer/toy hauler, as I said before, where you put your bike is your business.

From this thread it sure does seem riding to a rally is an unusual event. It seems most either have a trailer or want one. Again, that is cool with me.

Was the short bus comment meant to be an insult or a lame attempt at calling me dumb? I will assume not as I cannot believe a Texas guy would resort to insulting another man from behind a keyboard from half a country away.
