I use a 7x10 carmate single axle with brakes when i need it. Actually use it for everything really. I basically stole it for $800 from a guy getting divorced. I love this thing. Fits 2 baggers side by side plus tools and camping supplies.[IMG][/IMG]

When I bought my previous used bike I bought a kendon folding trailer so that I could keep it in the garage folded up in the corner. It was a great trailer to look at. Turned out that's all I did. I thought I might use it to take it for service, if it broke down, events etc. Well, when I needed service I rode it there and waited a couple of hours. It never broke down. If I went to events I rode it. NEVER used it in over a year and then I bought the new bike. I had bought it used so I waited until just before bike week and sold it without losing anything.

If I needed a trailer now I would just rent one from u-haul or hit up one of you guys with some pathetic 'fellow forum member desperately needs help' post

This is where I bought mine. I bought the Excel 17cf white model with LED lights. It's a great trailer and the owner/installer was great. Check out the link. They are located in Central PA.

One other thing to think about with a trailer is where are you going to keep it when not using it. They take up a lot of room. At least in my town, ordinance says any trailer must be stored either inside your garage, beside or behind your house. Cannot be in the driveway in front of your house or parked in street in front of your house
