Default Motorcycle Trailers

I have been looking for a good type of motorcycle trailer to pull. There is a lot out there Plus home made trailers. Can you show your pictures?

If I need to haul that much crap, I'll bring the truck. lol If I can't strap it to the bike, it stays at home.

My opinion of bike trailers? Avoid them if at all possible. I have a Timeout camper trailer, and it works fine if you want to haul it someplace as a basecamp to ride out of (I've got thousands of miles on it)....and several friends of mine have smaller trailers....and everyone I know only uses a trailer when they absolutely have to....(usually because the OL wants to haul a shitload of stuff). A trailer screws up your mpg, significantly affects acceleration and braking, and quite frankly, Harley's just don't have the HP to handle some of the larger ones (that's why the #1 trailer pulling bike is the Goldwing).

A trailer just turns a high performance machine into just a luggage hauling vehicle.
