drop down to the hacked trike and trailering. you may have to change the display settings to something other than (from the last day). I have less than $150.00 total in my home built (Harbor Freight ) trailer but I am a bargain hunter and don't mind playing the game ( caught it on sale, found a coupon ,then when I opened it had a damaged part so I hit them up for some more off ). If I was going to buy one ready to roll then the piggybacker is how I would go. remember your hitch is going to run another $150 plus, best price I found was on ebay

We have a Buchtec Turbo 2 for the last 2 years. They are a great company to deal with.

You really don't know it is there, does not bounce, plenty of room. Tires are the same as your bike tires so they are rolling at the same speed as you are.

Buying in the winter they have much better deals. Within your price range.

Default I think you got it wrong

When you asked: "Motorcycle tow behind trailer
i'm interested in purchasing a trailer to tow with my E-G (cargo) anybody have any input about type, brand, and any good deals" Did you mean you want to tow your motorcycle behind your bike?

Thumbs up Piggy backer

Looks very interesting. I wonder if my dobe will sit in that trailer. Looks like it would be pretty hot though.

Yeah - ya don't wanna put a lotta $$ into a cargo trailer - they're useless after a few years, an' heaven knows that quality comes cheap.

Me, idiot ah am, we spent 'bout 4k on our Bushtec. Runnin' on m/c sized wheels vs the 12" of the cheapy trailers means we don't git all them fun bounces outta it. An' the air-ride suspension (which they demo by droppin' the trailer from waist high - an' it does NOT rebound into the air) coulda been done cheaper, ah'm sure. All ah know is that we've never had a problem with it - the tires are actually rated heavy enough to run down the highway flat an' not be a problem....

Oh - did ah mention that we've got 'bout 50k miles on the trailer so far....an' that it's 10 years old? Or that if ah chose ta sell it, it'd bring 2500-3500 bucks?

Yeah....shoulda bought a cheap one.(NOT)

I recently found this company, and think it has some potential depending on what you are planning on hauling.
