I've pulled one a couple of times around town. Seems to track Ok going down the road and never really felt it behind my compact truck. It will take two people to get the bike on it however - one to steady the bike and the other to attach the tie downs.

No way in am I going load my 25k worth of HD EG on a small trailer like that. It may be the best thing since sliced bread, but I don't see it. Just ride it there.

It's about the same cost as a Kendon. Besides, trailers are for p*ssies.

Trailer are for pussies? I've averaged riding about 14K a year for the last 15 years but I still trailer once in awhile. I like having my bike with me when out of state for work or if time wont allow riding across country. You must have about 150K on that 2002 King? LOL

Sounds kinda painful to me ! Save your self from an accident, pemature tire wear, premature brake pads and an extra two tires to have screw up on ya. Just get some soft luggage. Besides trailers are for people with cars that don't have a truck.
