Tom I don't know you yet but I've been glued to this thread. Good luck with your recovery! Zinger -
I've ridden a lot of bikes over the years with my biggest before this being an old kz1000. Had the venture for a month and it's been an eye opener. And it's not just the venture. Some of the HD's have the same issues. Everything that makes the Venture a dream on the highway makes it work at slow speeds. Get the 750-900 class bike and learn things like couterbalance, clutch and rear brake use for slow speed etc. Zinger

Speaking from experience here. With any vehicle, call YOUR insurance, they will get the crash report, the other person's insurance and will generally start the ball rolling while they start negotiations with the other person's insurance. This is especially important if the other driver's insurance ends up lapsed (as happened to me) -
Just looked under my seat to see what you were talking about and damned if mine weren't gone too.....guess I'm going to Lowes too:)

The BOB trailer attaches at both ends of the axle making allowing up and down movement. The trailer has a hinge in hitch that allows left and right movement. I'll have to check out the Unigo OR if you ever get rich and famous with yours I'll check that out! Zinger

Physics being what they are, on a bicycle, with 60lbs in the trailer, attached to a 26lb bike with a 200 lb rider, you don't notice it other than at really slow speeds. The only time it's affected my handling was off road, very steep grade and hard braking it jack knifed me but any trailer could do that. Couldn't tell from your pics, did you do a single hitch to the bike or a double? Zinger

The single wheeled bicycle trailer is called a BOB (Beast of Burden). The company also makes a model with a suspension. I've been pulling one for years. Having seen yours, you have my curiosity piqued. Love to know if it handles like the BOB does on a bike.
