Pulling a trailer behind a touring bike or a trike question
Bought the trailer for my trip out west next year, will be pulling with my Road Glide. My buddy has a Tri Glide and found a used trailer for a great price, and is most likely buying it.
He asked me how the much a strong cross wind will affect the riding experience. He has done some trips out west, and said the cross winds can get up to 30 mph. Just wondering how this will be with a trailer behind us.
Any need to worry with either rig?

I'm running a2002 Flhtc with Lehman conversion. I have a removable plate that attaches to my hitch. I ride 2 up so the woman and I just strap a drybag to the plate with our clothes. Also you can always mail clothes to your destination if it's a hotel and mail dirty clothes home

Like others have said when at speed, you hardly know it's back there! Now, acceleration is slower and watch the braking/slowing down thing. You have to anticipate lights/stops. When I'm riding down route 17 headed for FL I look way ahead. When I see a light change I start coasting and try to time it so I don't have to use my brakes too hard.
