you know there are a myriad of reasons why someone may have their bike on a trailer. just because you choose not to, does not make you any better than them. nor does it make them 'a danger' to others just because they choose to.
the wife and I have 2 roadglides. we try to take at least 2 'long-ish' rides per year on them. but, we are looking into getting a trailer for the bikes so that we can get to our destination spot quicker and spend more time riding there, instead of spending 3 days blasting down the interstate to get there, spend 2 days there, and then blast 3 days back..... with the truck and trailer, we can take one long day to get there, spend 5 days there, and one long day to get back.
if that makes me a rub, so be it. idgaf.

I don't have a trailer so I pretty much ride everywhere I go. Yeah, I can get the 'I Rode Mine' stickers or patches, but I can't get as many cuz I'm kinda limited on what rides I take. Only have so much vacation time each year...

Perspective is a funny thing. When I was young and started riding (1960) anyone not riding a rigid frame was a *****;then it was anyone running an electric start; then anyone with a bagger.....Now I'm hoping they come out with airconditioning, a roof and electric windows for my Road King.

The new Indians have an electric windshield that raises and lowers. Caught them when they weren't busy last week, and took one for a test ride.
They make a nice bike.

So, because they trailered and their batteries were dead, you're saying they have no business being on a motorcycle?? I have to say, that's a rather DOOOSHY response.
