Motorcycle Trailers

"There's a company that makes a trailer that drops the bike rail almost to ground level to load and then lifts up again when you're ready to roll. That looks like the hot setup to me."

That would be the Baxley Trailer Company out of Dothan, Alabama. Very nice people to work with. I have purchased a chock from them and used their two bike trailer; very impressive.

Plus, when we go on strike in August I'll need this anyway for a couple weeks of storage.
Cool little 5x8+2, which even my Element can tow!

Ack, that is so cool and just the right size. Are you going to park the bike outside and sleep in it? I'd make up some pop-in screen doors. What's the brand and model?

Hey!!! I never even thought of camping? Great thinking!!
It's an ATC brand Raven model.
It's a fancy one a doctor ordered for his Harley, then canceled.
All aluminum including the frame, only 900lbs.

A buddy took a similar trailer (I think it may be slightly larger) and set it up to transport his larger telescopes. He also set up the inside for camping. A hammock on the side that folds down (so you have full width for storage), 2-3" foam from a fabric depot (I went with 3 but suspect 2 would have been fine - better than most hotel mattresses) and the sleeping bit is golden.

Add some power as needed for a laptop or TV, LED lights for midnight pee breaks, spare tire holder, perhaps a gas range and some vent fans - gee, just add some indoor/outdoor carpet and you'll be in the lap of luxury!

Of course you need to add things for the bike like a chemical station for lubes and cleaning. Some tools for basic wrenching and tire fixing and trailer fixing.

Oooh! Add one of those fancy 12V coolers! Cold beverages! Cold cuts! Ice!

Thanks for the fast reply Ack! I would sell my 4x8 open trailer and get that in a heartbeat. Have an SUV that wouldn't even feel it.

You should think about camping in it. Have a look at those 'toy haulers' (search that phrase) and get an idea or two. They have beds that mount flat against the wall and are on a hinge and you just swing it down to use as a bench or bed.

My first thought when I saw that trailer!

[rboe]

I'm very tempted but I bought a pickup to avoid the trailer scene. Dang!

I like that Droptail trailer that Chapomis has. Its not enclosed, but I like it!

That's one fine trailer and aerodynamic also. At that weight it should pull nicely too.
