I am talking about the kind a bike tows. Saw a very unique one today. Was a coffin, full sized and made of metal with handles and all. Have seen some strange ones but this one took the cake. And yes it was being towed by a Harley bagger.

Go to Sturgis and you'll see all kinds of unique trailers - beer keg, BBQ grill, cedar chest, Coke machine, coffin, etc.

If it wasn't made by a motorcycle trailer manufacturer like Bushtec then I don't want to pull it regardless of how it looks.

Just because I thought it looked cool doesn't mean I would ever tow one. I don't care if it was hand crafted by Willie G himself. Just don't like the idea. If some do that's their business but not behind my bike. I like my bike stripped down sexy like, solo that is. Only time it has the pillion on is when the OL goes for a ride with me.

Don't care what you do as far as pulling a trailer. Just saying, those homemade trailers are dangerous regardless of how they look. When I see something like that, I don't think cool. I think dangerous.

wtf, just because something's homemade doesn't mean its dangerous. More so than not if you want something done right you need to do it yourself.

Yep...some people build better homemade items than can be purchased. There is nothing wrong with pullin a small trailer...just like with a vehicle you gotta add extra room.
