friesman Posted May 5, 2008 #1 Posted May 5, 2008 (edited) I was thinking of getting a trailer to store my 85 VR in and trailer it down to Morro Bay ca this summer. Has anyone had any experience with the continental Cargo enclosed trailer? I was looking at the 6 ft by 10 ft model with the extra 6 inches of height. and a guy is town has one about a year old for about 2500 cdn I think these were about 4000 new around here. Is anyone aware of any issues with these trailers? Thanks for any input anyone may have, Brian :cool10: Edited May 5, 2008 by friesman

GigaWhiskey Posted May 5, 2008 #3 Posted May 5, 2008 Shame on ya Brian! Ya go on and git yerself a real bike and then ya want ta put in on a trailer! Just ship yer luggage UPS. Prolly git there before ya. So, ya better git on that bike and drive it to Morro Bay. Then you can do what FutureVentures did, post along the trip.
friesman Posted May 5, 2008 Author #4 Posted May 5, 2008 If I wasnt 3100kms each way from Morro Bay owning a bike that parts were readily availble for, I would be riding , not trailering believe me. Its just too far on something that parts are getting hard to find, imho. PLus I have some time constraints and its the only way I can fit it all in this summer. Dont get me wrong, I love my VR but I do respect her age and treat her like the lady that she is, and pamper her.:rotf: Shame on ya Brian!

If Dan makes it we should have around 4 or 5 leaving out of here, and meeting up with Lone Eagle and Rich-99 south of Stockton on I-5. Stop for lunch and visit Corbin Seats in Holister before heading down Hwy101 to Morro Bay. About 300 miles total. Nice easy day ride. You could also ride back with us on Sunday. Hey, it's an option...

Hey, it's an option... Thanks for the offer, that sounds like a great idea. i will let you know a definite answer a bit closer to the dates whether I am going to do that. It would be a great way to meet you guys and see the country a bit more also. I should be able to make that work as I am booked into the hotel on Thurs anyway and was planning to be in the area.

Brian:cool10: Another thing came to mind on the trailer for $2500. Is it a single axel or tandem. If it's a single it might be a bit high. Mine is a 7,000GVW tandem. Around here singles go for $1700-$2000, and shouldn't be any different in your area. Morro Bay.... sounds like we got a winner....

I did some checking around here and a new 6 by 10 enclosed trailer is averaging around 4k to 5k for the single axle model with 3500gvw at 4 different dealers... and add about a thou for tandem axles. Man! do we ever pay too much for some stuff up here, and with the price of fuel going up the costs to get it here is gonna drive prices up even more, Ill bet.
BradT Posted May 6, 2008 #9 Posted May 6, 2008 Man! do we ever pay too much for some stuff up here, They try at least. IF you live close to a border you definetly know the difference in what you buy BRad
