Yeah, I never really needed a trailer either.  I could pack all of our stuff just fine and still have room for Laura to ride comfortably on the back.  But I think this is the year I'm gonna break down and start pulling the trailer for a few of reasons...

1) In addition to all of our personal gear, I bring lots of CycleFish stuff to the rallies - like t-shirts, hats & banners, and I want to be able to bring stuff to make the CycleFish camp comfortable for all our members that camp with us - extra chairs, shade cover, stove, BIG ice chests, etc.

2) The bike is getting pretty damn heavy for this old guy to even get off the stand when I load that much stuff

3) On loner trips I hate having to pull all that stuff off the bike and drag it in the motel room after 10 hours of riding and then pack it back up the next morning!

So this year you will probably see me pulling in with my trailer in tow!

I saw this at Easy Eddies in Huntersville, NC and it was really cool. I think it was being pulled by a silver classic.

Hey Lucky, ever get that trailer?????

i've always thought towing a trailer was an added danger for bikers. I've seen bikers go down and there's absolutely no skill level that can outwit a trailer on a tear. The traile simply takes control and the biker is going to go down hard, most likely with serious injuries. However, I had the opportunity to see one of these uni-go trailers in action and I have to say I sure was impressed. Safety wise it's undoubtedly the best there is. Storage wise, it'll do.

I'm guilty of packing my ride (like Lucky) to well beyond the weight limit. We don't think much of it but the reality is that's it's not good for the motorcycle....period. But hell, Gypsy and I still load her down.
Oh yeah, here's the uni-go link. http://uni-go.com/ />

Nope never got it AZ, but still hoping to. It's not so much for our personal gear... Laura and I have been doing this long enough we have it down pat. It is more because we are doing more and more CycleFish stuff at events we attend and I need to bring banners, hats, t-shirts and all kinds of other goodies. I am not going to go the other way and trailer the bike so I can put all the stuff in my truck, and shipping is just a pain in the butt too. What I need is something low and light... still looking!

Found one I REALLY like.  I think this would look great with the CycleFish logo on the sides and back...

That's it!!!!

Still a very nice and safer alternative.

All trailers ad some safety concerns to bikes, but I am not sure I like them little fiberglass single wheeled jobs. I followed one of them to ROT on year and that damn thing spent more time off the ground than it did on the ground. Every little bump, even just a dip in the road and that wheel was up in the air and would come down a little off center and wobble its way back to center. Maybe he just needed to add more weight in it?

You know GoFur I have seen all motorcycle trailers bounce a bit, but I have to agree that little guy looks like it would bounce a little more. Plus it doesn't look like it would hold as much as I need. I actually got to ride a friends bike for a few hundred miles pulling the trailer I pictured above, that's what made me decide on that one. The total weight of the trailer when I rode it was about 350 lbs and for the most part I could not even tell it was back there. Actually it was easier to ride with the trailer packed than when I load up my t-bag and gear on my luggage rack. Like pulling a trailer in a car or truck, you need to slow down and ride much differently... but I'm not in a hurry anyway :-)
