    Is that so he can go pick up the pieces of his previous pristine bike that will be sitting in the trees in T1 after a failed attempt to hit 160?

    That is a nice looking rig RR Mike! I like how your pics show the scale of bike to trailer.

    I must also give kudos to abtech (who probably is the master of towing motorcycles) for succinctly summing things up. He is probably correct if you have to tow over 50 miles...with anywhere uphill.

    I'd really like a nice trick set-up with fancy Honda and/or Ducati logos and all but with all the different thefts I've heard of over the year I really might go with an old beater van that has "Slick's Sewer and Drain" on the side.

    I pull a single axle 7x15 aluminum V nose with a 6.6ft roof with my Ridgeline. Mileage Sucks(almost as bad as a full size get normally) but I have never had an issue with it. Has enough power to get up any hills I've ever encountered and the temp gauge has never moved.

    The only down side is the limited range. I only get 350-375kms to a tank. mind you that is only 60ish litres.

    I would say that you should be fine with it. unless you want my honda to come and tow it(and your little truck) around for you...hahahaha...
    See you at GRATTAN

    Nope, you need "HIV Specimen Collection Specialists" on the sides. That or "Caution Stay Back: Live STD samples" . . .

    Either those or just get a big logo that says: "Stabbin Cabin, Come on In!"

    That would keep the chicks away for sure so I'm sure your wife would appreciate it.

    I've always thought that about people put stickers on their trailers. Its like an invitation to steel stuff, like kids putting "kicker" stickers on the back glass of their cars. Maybe a big sticker of Hammer's avatar would work.

    I have a friend who has a septic system pumping company logo on his enclosed trailer. Never had a problem with it.

    IMO you should stick to a single axle. like:
    6x12 Enclosed Cargo Trailer
    or:

    I know. Really I only need a 6x10. Good news though.. I now have access to an 8'. Even though my boss swears I'd have no problem towing his 14'.

    I truly had a spinal tap moment. I'm not sure how many will get that.

    On the spinal tap note I also added a new throttle that now goes to "11"

    Now that is awesome. A couple of modern back up cameras and that sucker would be so easy to "back" into a tight parking or camping space.
