Be Safe JIM
don't know the pricing for a single bike trailer, but i've been looking at droptail trailers, and ramp-free trailers.

http://theusatrailerstore.com/ace-si...cycle-trailer/ This is the link to the trailer he has, the price looks good and has a 1000# capacity, 12" wheels and sounds like a good deal.

Really? You going to leave for Florida, from Rochester, in January on your bike?

Please post video when you do that.

My 2012 truck has fewer miles than my 2014 bike.... I only trailer it when I have no other choice, like moving from one coast to the other... or dropping of for a new tire and they cannot get me in around my schedule...

But I also refuse to live where it snows more than a couple days a year...

We live in the Valley of the Sun, Phoenix, AZ. We leave in June and return in September. We rent houses all over the country: Montana, Idaho, Washington, Colorado, and so on. We are gone for 3 plus months. Once we get to our destination we have our bike along with everything else needed for a 3 or 4 month escape. Think about it: It’s a lot cheaper than buying a $200,000 motor home. Oh, and it’s nice being retired too … hope this answers your question. It’s really a cost-effective way to go so the price for a good trailer is a good investment any way to look at it. I’m a big Aluma fan: easy off, easy on. They back their product, no questions asked.

Seriously?

Seems like every time someone talks about putting a bike on a trailer this same question comes up.

The thread is a discussion about trailers, not who is a real biker.

Not much choice when you are moving cross country.

My trailer is able to hold everything that I own. Due to the tools, safe, and bike, it is at max weight at 11k, and only half full volume wise.

Trailering the bike to Oregon next month(hope nobody gets on me for taking a dresser in a trailer... ;-) ) and grabbing most of my stuff from my folks house. Then taking the bike from OR, to WA. Might even go to Canada just because.

Then Trailering the bike and my junk back down to CAto unpack.

My trailer is a trailer, my storage facility, and my garage for major work on the bike.

Ya gotta do what ya gotta do when your studio apartment is just over double the size of your trailer. 😳

How does the aluminum shield on the Aluma Trailers keep all of the road debris and spray off of the windshield and fairing of the motorcycle? It looks to be too short.
