Default Going trailer here too

Cannot get the little woman to stop over-packing then that high pitch whine from the rear when she cannot take her prize possession curling irons and hair brushes so dropped the dime on a N-Line trailer.

Have not picked it up as yet but plan on doing so the 9th of June. Love the style and layout, may not end up large enough but SHOULD decrease the pitch of the 'whining'.

It's obvious you haven't considered putting HER in the trailer ... No more ( at least audible ) whining :>)

I argued with my wife for months about getting a trailer but she wanted no part of it.
During a spring swap meet a guy had a cheap POD trailer for sale.
We walked past it and started talking about the pro's and con's and finally she gave in.
I gave the guy his asking price and he even delivers it to my house.


I used it for three seasons and she fell in love with that little trailer


When my cousin decide that he wanted to buy my '92 Heritage in '94, he said "I want the whole rig just as it is" and that included my trailer.


I can still hear my wife's reaction to me. She said "you're going to but another trailer, right"?


So he did, and I did.


BTW. he had that bike until last summer and traded it in on a new Tri-Glide during one of our trips, but he still has that trailer.

Bad mistake I say. The whining will be louder as the trailer will be over-packed as well.

Sounds just like my wife....she has a distinct failure for spacial awareness. Don't know how many times we are on a trip and she buys something "knowing" it will fit in the saddle bag or tour pak. Last trip to Kentucky I had to ship 2 boxes home to the house. LOL

Put her own her own bike. Then it becomes a matter of "If you can pack it you can take it."

Plus, do you know how much that trailer will cost in the long run with all the additional **** that will be purchased on your trip because you now have the room to lug it home?
