Looks like it could be a recycled JetSki trailer.

Looks like it could be a recycled JetSki trailer. 

... or possibly for a surfboard?

Smart trailer. I would want to be as far away from that Honda too.

Damn, that can't be safe. Goldwingers, a differant breed 

[CVOJOE]

Maybe so that the deer can jump through after the GW goes by?

First time I have ever seen a specified measurement as to the width of the trailer and the necessary length of the tongue.

Whatever the case,  one important factor is to NOT load too much toward the front of the trailer.   A few yrs ago,  on the interstate out of Milwaukee after the 100 yr HD anniversary rally,  I got stopped in traffic behind a Harley with a trailer that had left the rider semi-concious and stunned in the middle of the interstate.............He was damn lucky,  that the car behind him didn't run his azz over........The bike ended up in the roadside ditch upside down.

The car driver indicated that the trailer started (fishtailing) and it just threw the rider off the bike before he could even react.  I think he had the weight wrong, whatever the case,  I have been very skeptical of ever using a trailer since that scene that I witnessed.

Actually you do want to load most of the weight toward the front, but maybe not too much. Its when the weight is more toward the back that it will fishtail. From the Bushtec manual: 

WARNING: ALWAYS LOAD CARGO SO THAT HEAVIEST ITEMS ARE
LOWEST AND DISTRIBUTED FRONT TO REAR. NEVER PUT THE HEAVIEST
ITEM AT THE REAR OF THE TRAILER, AS THIS WILL INCREASE THE
TRAILERS TENDENCY TO SWAY. LOADING THE TRAILER IN EXCESS OF
THE GVWR (gross vehicle weight rating) IS DANGEROUS AND COULD CAUSE
SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

Wasn't somebody at Maggie Valley showing off a long tongue?

[North Georgia Hawg]

Beyond weird... in my book!

[cvobiker]

oh chit,,, i think she can do one hell of a 'tongue lashing'    ......  or better yet,  she can do a hella of job of 'choking the chicken'   

[Eagle Eye]

Good grief...she's been crossed with a frog!

[Grizzly]

D N A ?

OMG.... using the above formula.............. she would be two axe handles wide?

[CVO2FIXUP]

  I think that guy is hauling gravel in the tour pack.  Needs a long tongue when he dumps.
