Thats what I'm talking about. No physical limitations but enviornmental ones. I'd rather trailer out of this snow and ice covered state, and have some fun riding during the middle of the winter in a warm clime, than stare at my bike in the corner of the garage for the 6.5 month long Vermont winter.

I'm looking to get one because I know what its like to push a bike for 4 or 5 miles ,what it's like to hide my bike in the woods until morning, what it's like to seat on the gas tank and ride home 35 miles with a rear flat. Knowing someone with a trailer is a good thing.

Need to find that picture I have of the guy from NY I helped with a blown motor yrs ago in KC . Stopped on the freeway to help , ended up in my backyard in a tent for week . He got a beater car from somewhere and after a couple bottles of cheap bourbon and my sawzall made a convertible pickup out of it . Loaded his bike & gear and off he went , crazy **** but we did have fun .
