Who (if anyone) uses bike trailers for getting to rallys etc if they are a fair distance?
How much should someone pay for one? .. any suggestions?? .. Any to give away to a poor down and out northerner??? :mrgreen:

I got outbid on 3 trailers on ebay, I decided I wanted a erde singlebike trailer, and got outbid several times :roll:

so I googeld erde and found they were not much more new :shock:

so I have a new trailer with ramp and jocky wheel. and with one side on axle stands and some new hooks in garage roof, its up out the way and ready for the new season.
I use to ride to events and poo poo the trailer queens, but some events are 50 mile away with a run when you get there. (two stroke club) :geek:

the cheapest bike trailers are home made ones. but there are some good ones

Lol Ted I've been busy studying (You would'nt believe it) so not had a lot of spare time.
I dont have a towbar at the moment, but I can't see myself riding the FS1 to events 50k + miles away too often, so I'm checking out viable alternatives really.

I have a trailer and a rack but tend to use the rack more as your not restricted to 60mph on motorways and 50mph on all other roads (check the highway code) and the law are fining people who tow over the limit.

It's a crap photo (soz) but the rack is good it's a Dave Cooper one (01732820082) a lot cheaper than a trailer and lower maintenance!

I've had a bike on the rack and another on the trailer for Uttoxeter last year.

It's the way to go but it does take two loading and unloading.

I had also looked at trailers and was interested in one you could take apart easily for storage or chucking in the boot when you got somewhere, same problem for me most events are too far to ride, keep us posted!
