What is up with all these self proclaimed "bikers" putting their bikes on trailers to go to bike weeks? BIKE WEEK not trailer week!!!
What I'm ranting about right now isn't about some long or even out of state bike week. I'm ranting about "bikers" in South Florida trailering to Leesburg!!! WTF???

Well I'll be dipped in shi*! Another " You dont do what I do so you aint cool thread!"
Let me explain. I live in Fla. but yet I trailered my bike to bike week. Yeah so shoot me! I also had my wife and dog with me. The wife likes to ride but the dog wants to drive and we are not having any of that. She loves to chase cats and well the first one she sees she is going to una** said scooter and lay chase to the feline. Bad situation, no driver. Also, I wouldnt have room on the bike for me, the wife, the dog, the new parts for the bike and all those cool t-shirts we are supposed to buy. Sorry I'm not Uber cool like you but, if you will buy me a H-D trike or a side car for mine then, if I dont ride to the carnival, you can come on a public forum and tell everybody how cool you are and uncool that I am.
You dig what I'm saying?

I like sleeping in my trailer. A/C, semi soft bed, dry, only two legged critters[no scorpions or snakes]. No motel/hotel with bed bugs. A clean bathroom. My own good food at a reasonable cost. Hell, I am just spoiled because I want to be. Done it the other way for lots of years. Wet clothes, wet tent, hot tent, sweating my *** off in the tent, snakes and scorpions. Bad food and nasty bathrooms. Motels/hotels I wouldn't feel right leaving my ex-wives in. It is not that I can't ride the bike---it is the bike can't tow the trailer.

I plan to retire in a few years, and I'd like to get out of the home ownership business, buy an RV, pull a covered trailer for my bike, and see the continent. Right now I ride my bike everywhere (and I mean everywhere) but there are situations where a trailer just makes more sense. Who cares?

Who cares if someone trailers their bike? They surely don't give a **** if you ride yours. Some people really have some complexes when it comes to judging what standards they think others should live by. If it doesn't affect you, mind your own business.

Amusing to see a thread like this. Everyone has a strong opinion that they should do what they feel like doing and leave well enough alone what other people are doing. I should probly add my ride vs trailer opinion too, huh?
Alright, here goes. I don't own an RV or a trailer, so I think everyone who does is a spoiled, rich,...blah, blah, blah.
I remember growing up in South Dakota, seeing all the bikes go by, on I-90 on thier way to the rally. More of them were ridden than hauled, atleast it looked that way from my teenage perspective. I just remember thinking, "someday I'm gonna get me a bike and ride to Sturgis." Heck it was only about 4-5 hours away. 20 years later, I finally have my bike, and I've got an ocean and half a content between me and the rally back home. Someday...someday.
