I always said I would never run a trailer, people who had them always said they wished they had gone that way sooner. Well I run a motorcycle ministry and it got the the point I was needing to take a display tent to rallies, after loading the bike up a couple of times I realised I was cutting my nose off to spite my face so I bit the bullet and bought a trailer. Guess what? I should have done it years ago. I can’t feel it behind the bike, I have to remind myself it is there, I have been in groups going through the mountain twistiest in Scotland and people can’t believe how stable it is at speed. I am now designing a trailer tent to build for future events. If you go with a trailer and set it up right you will never go back. It does not cause much difference in gas mileage, we have a limit here on weight of 330lbs gross weight and 1m max width, I also set the tongue weight to 17-20 lbs.
