Default I just bought a Toy Carrier Trailer!

This is one of those plastic pod trailers. It is very light weight, which is good because I plan to tow it with momma's G8.
I found it on Craigslist. It belonged to an older gent who moved to a trike. He used it once to transport his old Harley to and from Florida.
It's a 2008 with every available option, he threw in a nice motorcycle floor jack and he delivered it.
Momma has fibromyalgia and is unable to ride for more than 4 or 5 hours a day. Her spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. Anyway this let us go to rallys and destinations farther from home.
Now I just gotta get a hitch for the G8.
P.S. That is NOT my bike in the trailer....

Very nice. I can't see how the bike gets out. Does the tail end open or fold? Are there ramps or does it tilt?

HUH? why should he have gotten a trike? his wife's fibromyalgia would still limit how much riding she's able to do - regardless of 2 or 3 wheels.

just curious - are you saying him getting a trailer makes him a poser?

Good for you, great find. My wife has fibromyalgia as well and I completely understand. Some of the insensitive people on this forum should get a life and let the rest live their lives the way they want to.

Is it lonely up there on your pedestal? Or does your high horse keep you company?

You can play the Vet card but you're still a dick.

For those of you that won't take the time to look it up:

Fibromyalgia is a common condition characterized by long-term, body-wide pain and tender points in joints, muscles, tendons, and other soft tissues. Fibromyalgia has also been linked to fatigue, morning stiffness, sleep problems, headaches, numbness in hands and feet, depression, and anxiety.

In other words, it doesn't matter if they ride a bike with 2 or 3 or 4 or 10000 wheels, she is going to be hurting when they arrive. I applaud you for getting the trailor and thinking of Mommas needs. We all know that if she ain't happy, you ain't happy.
