Default Long Island , New York trailer rental for a '16 Tri Glide.

Anyone know of a place or facility that would have a trailer big enough to handle a trike that'll be able to withstand the oh so wonderful road conditions around here(I.e. Traffic, potholes, bridges, etc.) ?

Thanks in advance,

Did you call U-Haul.. BTW - WHat does traffic or bridges have to do with bad road conditions or rental equipment conditions.. BTW, the road conditions are crowded in locations but this isnt a mine field..

Uhaul has a galvanized cargo trailer. It has a V in front for the front wheel. A friend hauled his Tri Glide from Daytona to the Thousand Islands area in one last year.
We wedged some foam rubber between the fender and the trailer sides just in case a strap broke or loosened and the bike walked sideways. There's only a couple inches clearance on each side. He checked it at every fuel stop and re tightened straps as necessary. Bike made it home safely.
I searched the internet, but they apparently do not sell these when they're done renting them like they do with the trucks.

I hope you find someone, trailer rentals are hard to find for sure. I had a trailer place in Mastic Beach rent me an enclosed unit, we took it to Sturgis in 2003.

It was an experiment on their part, didn't work for them though we brought the trailer back in the same condition we picked it up. Never found another place local that would do it. Uhaul may be your best move. If you find something, please post up the results.
