Reluctantly my GF does NOT ride.. I'm heading to the National this year, and she wants to go, I have a trailer, but it's a 6x10, and a bit heavy,
so I would have to tow with the truck. If I could use the Tow Dolly, I could save more than what it would cost me by towing with the car.
Has anyone, other than the Connie owner in the ad, used one? Should you disconnect the drive shaft, or is it safe to travel as is?

Jon is correct. spinning the rear without the engine running is very bad. If you really want to use that trailer maybe you could start the bike and set your 'choke' around 2k then tow itI was afraid of that.. Just trying to avoid lugging the 6x10 around..
I was afraid of that.. Just trying to avoid lugging the 6x10 around..You only have to lug the trailer to VT, then your FREEEEEE.
You ride the bike, she drives the car, no trailer needed.Been there, George.. It makes sense to you and me.. I haven't even mentioned Lake George this September, and I'm riding up to that.
Well, given that, wouldnt it be a bad idea to use these on any bike? I mean even the chain drive bikes would surely have the output shaft pressure lubed too wouldnt they?
I've been searching for a small trailer for a few weeks, but pickings are slim in my area, at least the one's for the elusive few hundred bucks.
There are a few single rail's on Ebay that are around 300, but the shipping kills the deal (155.00!) I'm going to look at a used three rail and
possibly an old Chariot, always liked those.. But I'm sure maintenance will be needed, tires & wires & packing.. But as long as the axles are solid,
might go that route. Spare time right now is scarce, had to let a guy go, and we are extending ourselves to makeup his shift, so I'll only have
a day or 2 if I'm going to make a move.. But I still have the back up plan, truck and landscape trailer..
Have you thought about renting a trailer from U-haul or the likes? They generally have some nice light weight alum trailers. Rent one way turn it in, rent again for the return trip.Chris, I think they're on to that.. I tried to reserve and drop it off near the rally point, but it's "not available" for one way.. I believe I would have to
