Default Trailer rental/borrow.....

I know this is REALLY short notice, and a long shot, but anybody know where I could rent/borrow a trailer for the bike for about 3 weeks? I looked at Uhaul, but not sure if the 3 week thing is going to work. Gonna have to call them today to check it out. I need to trailer the bike to the panhandle, then ride it back down here and in 3 weeks, ride back up and trailer the bike back. I know, it's a little crazy sounding to be hauling then riding back and then hauling it back down here 3 weeks later, but I need to do it, IF it can be done. Thanks for any and all help........

Josh

I believe I read it somewhere that you can't ride the Uhaul trailers on the highway, due to the trailer's speed restriction.

I could be wrong, so I would ask Uhaul about it.

I know in the past, Uhaul trailers that I've rented said 45 mph on the fender. I don't know how they are now though. Haven't rented one in quite awhile. If I can't come up with a trailer, I'll have to do this in my Jeep....So really wanting to put some mileage on the bike!! Oh well, if I can't....I can't.

A friend of mine used a Uhaul trailer to take a bike to Ga a year or so ago with no problems. Sounds like to me a one way u haul would be the way to go.

According to their site, a one way Uhaul motorcycle trailer isn't available. Don't know if there's just not any trailers or what.

I have a little 4 x 8 that you are welcome to use.
works great for the dirtbike and the gocart, but i would be a little hesitant with my Ultra.
it is the one Northern Tools sells if you wanted to take a look.

Do you think a Fatboy would be ok on it? (I mean the Harley, not an actual fat guy ) I would need it for 3 weeks also. Would that be a problem? Thanks for the offer....

Thanks, I will let you know for sure if I don't find anything by later this afternoon. I'm actually looking at one on craigslist to buy, so I have my own. I know I'll have to use it again within a year when I move back to Tennessee. I will keep you posted by this evening. Thanks again, TJD!!! It's much appreciated. I knew the Florida Crew would come through for any of their brothers/sisters when in need. You guys are the best. This is why I want to be a part of this Crew!!

Can you ride the bike to Daytona? I have a trailer, but not much good if you a
'fer piece' away.
Trailer it up, ride it back, ride it up, trailer it back...nope, don't make sense.
