Hello, Everyone! I spoke with Jeff this morning and he asked me to post a Note on the Forum to let everyone know that he and Margaret and everyone else in the area are doing fine after the storm. They are without electricity, as the utility turned it off yesterday morning around 9 AM, but they do have a generator. They have no land line phone and no internet, hence the request for me to give you an update. BlackJack

I'm leaving this week on a trip from Texas to Iowa. About 2000 miles round trip. A friend said I could borrow his trailer but after picking it up this weekend I'm having second thoughts. It's a 4x8 utility trailer with a 2x6 lumber floor and 1500 lb capacity. We got the bike up on it (barely) by putting it on diagonally, but it's a real tight fit. The thing that has me spooked is the wheels. Only 4.8x12 tires, although the wheels do have a 5 bolt pattern. I'm just not sure a trailer like this was intended for such a long trip. I'm leaning towards biting the bullet and paying $300 to rent the 5x9 utility trailer that Uhaul rents. What do you guys think? Thanks.

I've been looking for a utility trailer for several days, can't find a used one. What I need is a tandem axle, one axle w/brakes and 6 ply tires. A 14' trailer would work just fine but I don't have anything against a 16' except the price. If anybody knows of one within a hundred miles or so of Canton Ohio - pm me or call. phone # is in my profile Thanks in advance Dick B added because I'm not too bright - no ramps- no side load - no rails - no nothin' - just a flat bed trailer ( thanks barend )

Just an FYI for anyone wondering about pulling a trailer with the 2nd Gen - I built the cheap Harbor Freight utility trailer a while back for general use and to occasionally haul my dogs (the kit is about $125 with 8" wheels). I didn't do anything special except make certain the frame was exactly square when building it. Up 'till now, I have only used it for relatively short trips locally, but yesterday we decided on the spur of the moment to take a trip up to Oklahoma - no plans to have someone take care of the dogs, so I strapped the travel crate onto the trailer and took off. After 500 miles, I am thrilled at how well this little utility trailer tracked behind the bike. I decided that I would not pull it over 70 MPH, but it pulled so effortlessly that I had to use the cruise to keep from having the speed creep up when on the highway. I absolutely could not tell this thing was there at anything over 15 MPH - and even under that, the only issue was some noise from the hitch rattling when I hit a bump. Even with a fairly stiff crosswind, the trailer was unaffected. This little trailer may be ugly, but it sure is a great deal for the price! Goose
