Default Trailering w/ Trikes?

Administrator,
Here is a snippet I just posted to the newely create "trailering sub-sub forum that you graciously created at my request a couple days ago.
---BEGIN SNIPPET---
"You can 'sort of' blame me for this.
I suggested to the admin of this forum to add a seperate category for bike trailers...meaning cargo trailers and pop-up campers (aspen,bunkhouse,etc). For some reason the sub heading is "Discuss what type of trailer (open, enclosed, brand) you use to transport your Harley"...which I think is incorrect. I will ask the admin to clearify.

I ride a 2001 EG Ultra and dont own a transport trailer but do pull a piggybacker cargo trailer and a Aspen pop-up camper. Most other MC forums have a seperate category for pull-behind trailers as well...I figured so should we. I was a bit dissappointed when this new sub-forum was group in with the trikes. To me, trikes are a complete seperate category, just as pull behind trailers should be. It makes it easier for us users to navigate. Why should I post my camping comments on your guys trike boards? The two are not remotely related.
I will again ask the admin to seperate into a new forum heading if it is possible."
---END SNIPPETT---

Now I agree with the trike guys...trailering shoul have its own seperate section. And if it is possible to get even more granular...pull behind the bike trailering (cargo/camping) should not be groupd with haul your bike on trailers (transport) as they are two completely different categories. Most folks that have pull behind trailers cringe at the idea of actaully owning or ever being see with your bike on a transport trailer...myself included.
Hopefully you can assist in the matter. Many thanks.

Default RE: Trailering w/ Trikes?

I added two sections. The first "lumped" in with the Trikes and Hacks are cargo/camping pull behind trailers. The 2nd section was for "Trailering Your Harley" and was seperate from the other. I have removed the "Trailering Your Harley" section.
