former airline pilot without the big bucks
a while ago some of us in the soon to be geriatric gang discussed the pro and con of trailering in the end to each his own whatever the reason ..and as I partaked in the discussion I posted the picture of the trailer I use it is a 2 horse trailer modified for 200 horsepower no piss no poop no smell just strong for the job.
I wanted a dual axle and brakes and horsetrailers all over have dual axles which in my book is far superior than single , split the weight distribution , but mostly resist fishtailing and that is the biggest advantage ... do not ask how I know!! the only problem with the one I found in good shape all around did not have a ramp built in like some do but the standard middlepost and dual rear doors so I managed to make the post removeable and carried a ramp inside but as time goes by and the years piling on my old bones I took the bait once more and having too much time on my hands I grabbed the angle grinder and started to cut the doors , post, and anything in the way to be replaced by a single door hinged on the bottom that will act as a ramp as well as a door ,since I had the tools in hand I also twicked the lockdown system holding the bike straight up in the middle of the trailer 'without use of straps tis frame held
sometime in the future when i can no longer handle the beast somebody will buy no doubts this trailer along with the mean rocket and all the spares like tires ( I have 3 rear and two front ) plugs back rest panniers etc etc . meanwhile I will keep riding to mexico this winter , then ride the eastern alps next summer and why not go visit @barbagris in madrid after which ,,,, time will tell .
rant is over pictures of mods when the wx improves a bit
