Like you said, to each his own.
That's true enough, but if you rode the bike, you would get another whole day of riding in (there and back). It's like they say, do it now, you'll have plenty of time to rest when you're dead.

My first passion is 4X4 trucks. My second passion is towing something. I have towed over 30 years now. Campers, boats and utility trailers. My third passion is collecting air cooled HD's from each family. I just need a Dyna to complete it.

I love to combined all my passions in one event.

Here I am ready to do it all which is tow my climate controled trailer with my 4X4 on a wonderful adventure for my Ultra.





So give it up with trying to have others do it your way. Stop whining and start shining.

By the way I did 12,000 miles on my bikes in 09 including riding the AlCAN and the Dalton to the Arctic Circle. What did you do?

Some may think riding to a particular destination makes them more of a biker than another person who towed in. Those poor dumb basturds, true freedom is what you want it to be, not what someone else thinks it should be.
I get the impression you trailer's are the wannabes, Kind off people who always have a excuse and its never your fault. I can hear you now telling your friends about your epic rides just leaving out the part about the trailer. I give the guy who flies in and rents a bike more credit than you. But then you do not care what I think.

To me there are two kinds of friends.

1.Close friends, are the ones that you wouldn't hesitate givin'em the shirt off your back.
2.Arm length friends, are the ones you don't mind hangin with for a while but then Ya' gotta go, see Ya' later, we'll do this again next year.
Unless his demeanor changes I'd catagorize him as maybe one of the latter.
