Baggers in a trailer question
I know I will get flak for not riding !! But we have a short amount of time for this trip. For the first time we will be trailering from Cape Cod to Tennessee in July. Anybody put two SG's and a Heritage in a 14' a V nose trailer? It's set up for two baggers now. Wondering if we could fit the Heritage in the back backwards. Don't have the option right now to do a trial fit. Thanks in advance.

well, you would be wrong then. if you have 3 bikes in one trailer, then you have 3 drivers that can take turns while the other 2 rest. trucks have much larger gas tanks, so you can go a lot further before having to stop to fuel up. cape cod to tennessee is about 1200 miles. easy non stop in a truck, not so much on a bike.
but then, you already knew all this, just trying to flex your 'i'm a real biker and if you trailer you aren't muscle'....

for me its not about being a real biker or not, its just that I bought my bike so I could ride it, not drag it around. Trust me, I'm the least intimidating person you're likely to meet, I couldn't intimidate Pee Wee Herman. (Right Uncle Larry?

I'm kidding mostly, I understand there are good reasons to trailer a bike, I just hope to avoid those reasons as much as possible.

14 may be a little small. I would say a minimum of 16 ft 8.5 wide would do the trick with comfort. The bagers are wide and you wouldnt be able to get them side by side with comfort. I just got a 8.5x18 to haul 4 bikes. Doing the Myrtle beach bike week this spring driving down from northern MA.

I would say that if you want to ride in Tennessee, then get down there as quickly and efficiently as possible. I do agree that you are going to have problems with a 14-footer. There are some that will say you aren't a real dude if you don't ride to Hawaii; comfort and fun are the goals. If you are trying to get in the Guiness book, you are going to have to do better than Mass. to Tenn.
