gunboat Posted January 5, 2013 Share #1 Posted January 5, 2013 hi friends annie & alan bought my tow-behind trailer. as you know annie & alan are coming back to the good old U.S.A. they will need to have a trailer relay from my house to utadventure home where alan's bike is stored. they will then need the trailer to be in portland, oregon by july. i know this is a little early BUT i would like to add a bit more of a welcome back to our homes and lives. so i would like suggest when the trailer is in your neck of the woods. add something to it of yours, like a pin, decals, bumper stickers, patches, (now be nice), etc. i think there was a trailer relay for them last year. i'am open to any ideas. regards don c.

playboy Posted January 5, 2013 Share #2 Posted January 5, 2013 So when do you want to start I could meet up with you and get it started north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie Annie Posted January 5, 2013 Share #3 Posted January 5, 2013 Don beat me to the post for help folks Here we go again Love the idea of stickers or decals on it as it travels I have PM'd a Portland member "heppster" and asked if he might be able to store it for us "utadventure" has also offered to move it along, if it comes through SLC Utah. **** And when we are finished with the trailer it will go to the VR.org "Special Assistance Fund" :clap2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mini-muffin Posted January 5, 2013 Share #4 Posted January 5, 2013 Sounds like we've started a tradition Annie. Can't wait to see you guys. We'd help but I think we're a bit off the track this time. Margaret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyinfool Posted January 5, 2013 Share #5 Posted January 5, 2013 So what kind of electrical connector is on this trailer? Flat 4 wire? Flat 5 wire? Other? It might make a difference as to who can pull it. Might also make a difference once Annie gets here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Haywood Posted January 5, 2013 Share #6 Posted January 5, 2013 let me know if I can help. I can meet someone in Indiana and move it to Iowa or Nebraska or Minnesota for that matter. As for the plug (4/5 pin) doesn't matter to me PS I am gonna have to wait till it warms up a little.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcarl Posted January 5, 2013 Share #8 Posted January 5, 2013 If it gets to Ontario, I guess we could find something to pull it with, maybe even put a little something in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie Annie Posted January 5, 2013 Share #9 Posted January 5, 2013 If it gets to Ontario, I guess we could find something to pull it with, maybe even put a little something in it. Wow!

Phoneman1981 Posted January 6, 2013 Share #18 Posted January 6, 2013 Hello everyone: If the trailer would happen to make it to into Nebraska, we could get it accross the state of Nebraska and well into Wyoming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utadventure Posted January 6, 2013 Share #19 Posted January 6, 2013 If some of our fine members in TX can get it moving, maybe to V7Goose (hint, hint, hint), some others in NM might be able to get it to the four corners area by the end of April. I could ride down to Monticello, UT or Cortez, CO and bring it the rest of the way to Salt Lake. Any volunteers??? We have some time to work it along.

bongobobny Posted January 6, 2013 Share #20 Posted January 6, 2013 Sooo, it should head towards Florida first then migrate north east?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunboat Posted January 6, 2013 Author Share #21 Posted January 6, 2013 hi dave i would be glad to ride up to the 4-corners with the trailer. i've been wanting to ride up pikes peak on the trike anyway. so this would be a good time to do it. i most likey will have my co-rider with me, she can't take the cold as i can. but i do have heated gloves and a heated jacket she can wear. funny i've owned the heated clothing for some time now but have never used them. let me know when the weather starts to get better up ya'lls way. best regards don c.
