Let's get one thing straight first. It is no one's business what another person's choice in conducting their life in the way they desire.
My understanding of being a motorcyclist is the freedom of it. I did not know that it involved following some other cyclist's idea of how to do it.
My riding resume is as good as it gets so STFU about trailers.
I have a climate controlled toy hauler. On occasion I use it to haul to events.
Once to the Dragon to a rally because my wife went with and she does not ride.
Once to Daytona Bike Week because there was an official National Weather Service Blizzard of heavy snow and 50 mph gusts. It took some time just to get through Indianapolis from Chicago.
Once to Sturgis to have a base camp.
My 8.5 X 20 trailer severs as a storage shed when not being used.
As I collect sports cars as well as motorcycles, it can be used to haul cars.
I was able to sell a motorcycle in the dead of winter by offering free delivery within 500 miles. Sold it withing days of the ad.
I have used it to pick up bikes that I bought in the winter.
I have used it to take bikes to and from the dealers when serviced during inclement weather.
For 2012 I will use it again for Sturgis. This time I will take it so that I can take my NRS, XR1200 and the Super Glide to ride the Iron Mountain Road and Needles Highway.
I have ridden from to the Arctic Circle to Key west and most the rest of the US and Canada. Every year I have at least one single day ride of from 860 miles to 1,000 miles. I have at least two adventure tours of from 2,000 to 9,000 miles.
So those pea brained morons that fail to understand that a trailer adds to the motorcycling experience and not detract from it again I say STFU and quit showing your ignorance.

That's a lot of words.
It all tastes pretty pompous from here

This is a funny thread. Some folks think it's some kind of a big deal to ride a motorbike on the highway. I don't get that, why is that considered so difficult? If we were talking about the baja 1000 or something it would be different.
I`m like everyone else, I prefer to ride, I've ridden millions of miles all over the continent. (maybe slightly exaggerated). But I'm in the market for a toy hauler so I can do a holiday with the wife and be comfotable, use it as a base station and expore the area.
I guess I don't see the connection between being a "biker" and sleeping in a wet pup tent.
ps. Next summer I'll be doing a cross canada trip, calgary to st johns newfoundland. Which is close to 6000km one way, then come back through the states. Probably be 15000km total (9000mi) in just over 3 wks. No trailer on that trip, but another trip, yeah, I'm all over it.
It's all about flexibility and enjoyment of life.

What sets you aside from them ? some of your opinions tend to be a bit stiff on occasion too not to mention a bit narrow , just and observation .
