AAA said they were too busy, had to go commercial, $300, and ask for reinbursement (4-5wks, still waiting)
Bike is in the local HD shop, great guys, decided to get the screaming eagle six speed while getting the 50K service done. Seems a main tranny bearing went out. Well it's raining here anyway and I still have the scout to get my fix.
The biggest negative I see, (and it is a big one), is the fact there is no place to put your feet down, once you are on the ramp. Going forward is no issue. Backing off the trailer, without a place to put your feet, I will bet money, at some point you and the bike will be on the ground, beside the ramp.
If the trailer is low enough to touch the ground, then no issue. If it's not, you'll find yourself looking for a place to put your feet.
The applies to the flatbeds. Use three ramps when backing and you can walk the bike off without a problem.

Totally agree....I have a Kendon single, love the trailer it has a torsion axle but it's a bitch to load/unload as it has the skinny only tire channel, unlike the newer ones that have the wide ramps.......having looked at the stinger I see you having the same issue as I do....need at least 2 people to load / unload bike....although I have found a quick solution that issue....back the trailer up to an 8-10 inch curb and load/unload on the sidewalk not driveway.....
Since the stinger doesn't have the torsion axle I would look at the trailers that the bed lowers to the ground and then you crank it up above the axle...they are about the same money and it can be operated by yourself.....just a thought.
