Where in Florida is there no dealer within 75 miles? You live in the middle of Alligator Alley?

Do you apply the breaks with your heal or do you keep that on the road?

Back in October last year I rented the motorcycle trailer from a local U-Haul in town & drove 4 hours to buy a 2003 Road King Classic (& then 4 hours back). Easy to load, strap & haul. Very pleasant experience. They are great trailers designed specifically for a motorcycle. At $15.00 for 24 hours, a no brainer!!
