Keithhu, living in Michigan, you certainly understand what it would be like to ride down for Daytona Bike Week through at least 4-5 states where it's winter...That storm earlier this past week dropped snow down through to NC.

Unfortunately, riding it isn't an option all of the time.

Sweet pic of the bike and the shark! I usually am on the forum using my phone and the mobile version doesn't show the sigs that people have...

My setup. The plates in the second pic are bolted down permanently. Removable bolts/acorn nuts secure the chock to the plates.

You can squeeze a triglide into a 6x10 v-nose if you're careful. I sold mine to my BIL when I got the 8x24. He fits 2 dynas in it, but there's no space left over.

I've seen alot of wrecked trailers caused by tire or brake...the tow vehicle slows and the trailer pushes it.. then tries to go around it

I'd much rather have in bed of P/U than the wrong trailer
