#237354 silvasilv (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1007 trailer 2 Years, 6 Months ago   hey all...i am lookin to get my hands on a bike trailer, and a few stood out but then i found this http://www.tow-ster.com/gallery called the towster...has anyone ever used or seen one of these? any thoughts?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #237357 nasomi (User) Life's to important to take seriously. Senior Boarder Posts: 388 Re:trailer 2 Years, 6 Months ago   I used one on a smaller bike, didn't like it. You can't see the bike at all, you have to find a way to wire signals and brake lights, because it's technically considered a trailer, at least in PA. I picked up a 4x8' trailer for $350 and it's worked wonderfully for me. This time of year is buyers market for all things bike. Anywhere you tow a bike, you're putting that many miles on the back tire. You bottom out, the trailer hitch doesn't take the abuse, the bike does. And I drive an oversized truck so I couldn't see it out my back window, or any of my side mirrors.   Logged     Jay 2001 Yamaha Road Star 1600 2004 Ford Excursion Diesel   The administrator has disabled public write access. #237363 highmileageguy (User) Growing Old is Mandatory!!

Much safer putting the bike on a trailer, and less wear and tear on your bike.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #237369 Boatmark (User) Roadie fan, just blowin' down the road... Platinum Boarder Posts: 2733 Re:trailer 2 Years, 6 Months ago   I think an issue here is having a place to store a trailer. I do agree a trailer is a much better way to go, plus you can use it to haul all that crap outa the garage to make room for it!   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #237376 vegasdave (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1158 Re:trailer 2 Years, 6 Months ago   would it rack up miles on your speedo?   Logged     If Your Not Moving Forwards,Your Moving Backwards Live To Ride,Ride To Live 06 Road Star Candy Red SMOKIN!!!!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #237383 Boatmark (User) Roadie fan, just blowin' down the road...

Not sure on the Roadie...   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #237425 parttime (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 247 Re:trailer 2 Years, 6 Months ago   Speed sensor is installed in the transmision and reads out put shaft speed. That is why tire, rim, or drive belt sprocket sizes will change spedometer accuracy. I guess the question is will it work with the key off?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #237434 silvasilv (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1007 Re:trailer 2 Years, 6 Months ago   yea for me its the issue of storage...im not dyin to get one this second but def lookin for something i can store   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #237437 hardone2get (User) Who care's what you ride! Just ride! Platinum Boarder Posts: 2132 Re:trailer 2 Years, 6 Months ago   Steven I looked over the website and I don't see a weight limit rating on the hitch. I would question what the max weight limit is???   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
