All three on one bike? Wow, that's going to be uncomfortable!

The only thing I have against the trailer, is that they don't want to pull over to let the bikes get by. I go for the ride and to 'people watch', not competing to be billy badass biker picking up chicks.

Ha! I have a year old truck that i've never pulled anything with. Have hauled a few deer home though. If I lived more than 1k miles from there I would probably think about hauling it out there. Job/life/vacation time only accrues so much time in a year and 150 mile stops puts a dent in the time factor. Dumb thread....

I sure hope this year they finally have some shirts with trailers on 'em. I'm tired of going home empty handed.

I couldn't care less about Sturgis, but also don't care if people trailer or ride their bikes. Many people have health issues that won't let them ride for long distances, so a trailer becomes the best option. The idea is to get there and have fun right? Who cares how you get there.

I've done both, rode twice and trailered 3 times.
I miss the ride up, but have just as much fun after I get there. I really don't have anything to prove to anybody. Some times, time is short and a trailer makes good sense. We can drive nonstop, and give ourselves more time to visit with friends. There are all sorts of reasons a person trailers, time, health issues or just to relax in the air conditioning.
I don't think the trailer issue will ever stop. Some people are so f*+kin insecure, they search for any means to prop up their faltering egos!

It could also be, over compensation, for an undersized male member, that triggers the "I rode all the f*+kin way syndrome"

Why do some people just have to make a big deal about trailers? Just mind your own business.
