Subject: Re: [W650riders] Pics of my Trailer
My dog loved the trip..she's 15 yrs old and probably wont be here at this time next year with me, she's a chiwawaaa. I had a bicycle there with a basket on the front and I would ride her all around in it and she really liked that...more time on that than the W.

I just recently took a trip to the beach with my brother and we took my
trailer with our bikes strapped on. This trailer is much cheaper in cost
then a regular Motorcycle trailer but I customized it and it is actually
much better than what they sell for bike trailers. It's a 5ft wide by
10ft in length with 2inch wood board planks for the floor...so I was able
to sink in large eye bolts for tie downs on the floor aswell into the
metal railing all along the sides for added hooks. The wheels are on
13inch rims so they are big and you can really roll with them without
worring about burning up the bearings like on the small wheels that come
with most bike trailers. It fits two bikes comfortably with added room
behind for luggage storage and this is where I boxed it off on the sides
with a removable center board for the bikes to roll on and off but the
center board keeps everything from slidding forward. The trailer was
around $800. US dollars and about $100. dollars or so in hardware. I
bought the trailer at Lwes and as I said it is a far better equipped
trailer than a $2000. plus bike trailer with small wheels and just for one
bike really. Here are some pics below..

Nice rig, Matty. I like the built-in ramp...makes it really easy to walk the
bikes up.
I had a similar trailer, without the ramp, for my sidecar, but recently sold
it. It was out in the weather (I'm a couple of blocks from the beach) and
getting rusty really fast.
So how did the dog like the trip to the beach? ;->
