got my motasickle trailer just about done

yep, i'll be fightin' off da wimmins for sure when they see me draggin, this around town







got about 10 tie downs



also got this 1500 lb winch from harbor frieght for sixty bucks. should be better than using the hand brake or clutch when unloading.


gonna drag it up to essex vermont in about 2 weeks to pick up the norton



driveway's gettin' crowded,

We assume that once tied down the side stand won't be down?

the norton has a centerstand. the front wheel cradle holds the bmw up okay. shouldn't need the side stand but the beemer also has a centerstand.
i dunno. whadaya think?

proper use of a motorcycle ramp

be careful - someone parked their geezer-pleaser on it while you weren't looking! (kidding - looks good!)

Hey Goo,
Just looking at the eye bolts on the "A" Frame, they appear to only go through
the top piece of the 'C" section. ?
If that were my trailer I would make sure that all the eye bolts go right through the
"C" section, and place a spacer between the top and bottom so it doesn't squash when you
tighten the nut. A piece of good quality round or square tube will do. Also a lock nut would be a good idea.
Light weight trailers are good, but it will be carrying your baby, we don't want any nasty accidents.
The front wheel lock is a great idea, that way you don't have to pull the bike down too hard on the springs.
Straps front and rear, preferably around the swinging arm, which will help to stop the rear from bouncing sideways.
Hope every thing goes well.
AC.

thanks AC,
the bolts aren't quite long enough for that.

i do think that with 10 tie downs, the load on any one of them isn't that high .
