C, you haven't had this long have you? Have you towed the 14 on it? I sent this to my son who's in FL for the week. He was looking at one time.
-
Nope, I haven't had it for long. I bought it last year. I spruced it up a bit though. That reminds me, I just serviced the wheel bearings, I should list that.
I didn't get a chance to tow Connie on it, my plans changed.
-
No one is interested in this nice lil trailer?
Easy to load, easy to pull, easy to store in the garage.

Maybe I'm asking too much $?
Price reduced. $650 firm.

You're just too far away for some of us to come and get it!!!! :(
-
Conrad, it looks silver and black to me, not magenta ;D
-
So it comes with that bike?

Not exactly. It comes with a picture of that bike.
-
Well, I would have bought it for the asking price if it came with it. Now, not so much. ;)

What if I threw in a extra shelf for your Canyon Cages in the garage? You know, as a back-up?

I have been thinking about a trailer. Anyone with any experience towing a bike with this unit? Does it bounce around a lot? Did you do any towing with it or is it basically brand new?

I don't have this particular trailer. I've got an Aluma with a 2000 lb. torsion axle and 13" tires like Conrad's and just got back from a 2000 mile round trip towing my C-10 on it. No bounce and towed well behind my '06 Dakota with a V-6.

I bought it used but never towed with it. It didn't bounce around much empty at least. I cleaned it up, did some maintenance , and had it stored in the garage. I also had an extra tie down bar made to get some tie downs down in front of the wheel.
I had intended to tow my bike behind my RV on the trailer but since I'm going to be towing in the winter months mostly I'm going to get an enclosed trailer instead. I don't want my bike turning into a salt block on the way down south. :)

Have you loaded the Concours on it? I'm trying to visualize how you would load it with that narrow ramp and heavy bike.
I would love to have a light trailer, but recently borrowed an enclosed 5x8 V-nose, and the wide ramp sure does make loading a breeze. Just ride it in.

I loaded Connie onto the trailer once, just to see how it would go. It wasn't bad with two people doing it. I'm only 5'5" so I wanted to make sure that I had someone to help, just in case... I've never towed the bike on the trailer though.
The guy I bought it from towed his HD to Sturgis a couple of times, so he said.
-
A couple of nibbles so far but no bites.
At some point in the near future I'll be listing it locally on Craig's list. I wanted to give my two wheeled forum brothers first crack at it though.
-
I've been watching this post.
I already have a trailer, but wanted to post.
This looks like an excellent trailer for someone.
Easy to store.
Light enough (to give you good MPG when towing).
And, strong enough to easily handle a Connie.
Someone needs to buy it!
Ride safe, Ted
-
Well now, if that isn't a ringing endorsement I don't know what is! :D
Unsolicited too I might add.
Thanks CR! :chugbeer:
He's right, someone needs to buy this nice lil trailer!

And that would be magenta, not magneta. :)

Probably not getting too many bites here because you an typically ride a Connie wherever you're are going, no matter how far. Put that baby on a Harley forum and they'll snatch it right up! LOL

Hey, can I help it if I'm blind? ;D

I have the trailer in front of my house for sale. Yesterday I had 2 separate HD riders stop to take a look. One made an offer, too low. I have a feeling he'll be back today though.

:) Beautiful! LOL. It's nice when they practically make the meme for us. Good luck on the sale.

Looks like I'll have to list this lil trailer on Craig's list after all.

Well OK then, now that the real purpose of this thread has changed from selling a trailer to HD lore....
I think I've waited long enough to further derail this thread.
C', just what are those (https://youtu.be/-l5tpY6SXMc) two plywood scoop looking things hanging on the wall (in front of the lattice panels) with the port-a-potty holes in them?

:rotflmao: cornhole
Gary is right, cornhole man! Also called Bags by some. I made those. :)
A funny story about Cornhole (the game, not the..., easy boys!) and my dog Agnes. Agnes can't be left out in the yard while we're playing. She chases the bags, grabs 'em and won't give them up. She even chases the bags into the boards, right down inside the hole and comes flying out with a bag that she claims as her own.

My trailer is in Craig's hands now.
Come on Craig!

Price reduced to $600.

I REALLY wish that someone would buy this thing otherwise I'm going to have to stow it back in the garage.
-
Start stowing...
-
Maybe it would sell better if you painted it magenta ;D
-
That's a color?

Maybe some Hello Kitty stickers to go along with the new color?
-

Cannon and other printers use magenta as one of the base colors. I've been working with color plotters since 1982 that use magenta (kind of purpleish). I guess that's why I saw color when I saw "Magneta".
-
Almost 2k hits and no one wants to buy this thing?
C'mon!!!!
-
C, how easy would it be to build detachable sides to use it for light homeowner stuff?
-
I think some of us are just kind of enjoying the stories as they go along. That is one nice trailer - I have one already though. I did a custom built HF 4x8 fold-up with 1/4" aluminum diamond plate. I still need to build the side rails to make it more multi-purpose. At least it keeps yours on the top of the list....
-

You could probably wing-nut the rail so it is removable and then just have a 3/4" deck and wing-nut it down so it can be switched back and forth. Just thinking out loud.....

A cannon is something used to shoot projectiles. Canon is a company that makes printers that require a color called magenta.
Sorry Rhino, couldn't resist. :D
As far as the trailer goes, I asked the wife if she thought it would be a good idea. She vetoed it right away and said, "no way, we ride to where we are going." Gotta love her.

Well...it isn't that nobody wants to buy it...it is more of a "time" and "distance" thing for many of us...
I, for one, can't believe it hasn't sold by now...

Since it looks like no one will be buying this lovely trailer anytime soon I put it away in the garage for the season. Just in time too, 10" of snow and 10f degree temps. :_shudder_Emoticon

Somewhat warmer just east of C' but almost as snowy. Supposedly 11.2 inches but some melted as it fell. It's all nice and frozen now though.

It was a cool 50 this afternoon as I pumped excess rainwater off of the pool cover. 8)

Nope, we got 10" of 'special' antigrav snow. It hovers just above the ground till it melts, drives the squirrels crazy it does!
-
Silly man, I was wondering if it was just wishful thinking or was actually on the ground... ;D

I was wishing that it wasn't 10" of snow myself. Especially since I sold my snowmobiles this past Fall.
-
I'm glad you didn't sell them in my neck of the woods. I don't need any snow.

Yes and no. We're staying here in Illinois but plan on traveling down south a bit. I'm buying a enclosed trailer for Connie and I'll be pulling this down south behind the RV.
I sold the sleds because we haven't been using them enough around here and taking them up north is a pain.
-
Southern Illinois?
I would suggest to keep moving til you're across a big river.

I've received a couple of nibbles from my Craig's list add. This one seems a little strange to me, maybe I'm just paranoid?
What do you guys think?
Received 11/25

Let me know. Thanks!
W****** L.

I replied to her via Craig's list relay mail and told her that I wouldn't be available till 11/30, no reply. What's odd about her message is that not once did she mention the trailer or anything to do with motorcycles or to ask if the price was negotiable. Maybe it's just me?
-
i have sold many things on CL and I always get some sort of reply that sounds very genetic. I suspect that you will be getting a bunch of junk emails in the near future.

Tell her to meet you at the police station parking lot and to bring well used 20 dollar bills.

Yep. But then I'm a firm believer in the nastiness of humankind.

Unfortunately so am I..... Be wary, my friend.

I'll start us off....hmmm....so Conrad, tell us all about your most exciting game of corn hole.
