I hope I never get so lazy that I would have to Pose as a biker. PW and have to have the old lady put my bike in a box to go for a ride. I love the beautiful outside with wind in my face.

Just because he owns a trailer makes him a poser really? Yeah you're a real poser because you can afford a trailer so you can take your bike with you on family trips, or have it for when it breaks down.

Also you need to consider where you want to put your tie down D rings.
Good Luck

I hope I never get so judgemental as to assume someone is a "poser" just because he wants or needs to trailer his bike.

What's next? He's a "poser" if he washes his bike prior to the end of his riding season? Maybe he's a "poser" if he pays someone to mount and balance his tire?

Personally, I think that anyone so full of himself to call others "poser" must be a treat to ride/travel with...I'd much rather trailer.

I agree with you 100%. I am looking at getting a trailer to haul the bike with me in a couple of years. I currently use it for work, approximately 2000 miles a month. My wife does ride with me, but does not ride, and currently is working in our home town. I am looking at a time when she is no longer working and can travel with me. I will still have to work, but rather than leave her sitting in a hotel while I am at work, she will have the use of the tow vehicle to get out and do things. Now does that make me a poser. Who cares! If it works for me that is all that matters. I get the best of both worlds. Still get to ride my bike, get to have my wife with me at night, can still take day trips, she can get around, and all is good.

Never had anyone call me a poser in person riding or trailering. That could be interesting.

Jeeze...Guess my wife and I are big posers after both of us have ridden for over 25 years each (we are both in our mid 40's) and just last month we picked up a 2 place trailer to have our bikes with us when we take the motorhome out....Or when we want to go to Mexico or other warm locations during our winter month's in Utah....If not choosing to ride in blizzards over 8500 ft mountain passes in below zero temps makes my wife or I posers...Then we will just smile and enjoy doing what makes us happy and those that feel otherwise can just freeze their azz's off being "bikers" <rolls eyes>
