So I got this idea, hey use the trailer that is just sitting there!

Worked out pretty good!

[porthole]

So then I thought, hey may as well detail it the right way, came out looking better then new.

So then I thought, hey there is a car & motorcycle show at one  of the High Schools, maybe I should go.

So I loaded up the bike in the trailer, no sense getting it dirty on the 40 mile ride to the show.

Wasn't too many bikes but ....

So was it worth loading up in the trailer and making the drive? I think so.

That is a "2nd" in the middle

And my buddy Bob aka LtBawb here, showed up and then it started to rain, so while everyone else rushed to try and beat the monsoon that was coming we loaded up the 2 bikes in the trailer and went and got a coffee.

I love it when a plan comes together.  Congrats on the trophy too.

Hard to tell which wheels are cleaner . . . the ones on the bike or the ones on the trailer!  Good lookin' bike (and trailer)!  Congrats on the trophy!

Now THAT is the setup.  I either have to get the job done early in the morning before the sun crests the house to my east, or wait until midafternoon when the sun is just west of my house enough to create a little shade outside of my garage.  Doggone AWESOME idea.

Thanks Roger, I think I was guaranteed though, looked like about 20 bikes and 30 trophy's lined up

They are OK. First time I was sliding the bags around on a carpet I knew I had to do something.

They recommend spraying the hangers with silicone , so the bags slide on easier. But the bags slide off easier too!

I almost pushed the bag off the stand the other day while buffing the wax off.
I plan on drilling the rods and using a clip to make sure that doesn't happen again.

All in all, they work OK, and it beats leaving the bags free standing.

The company has a vendor discount listed in that section.

Ah, definitely the bike wheels Brian, pits and all.

Thanks

Thanks for the info, Duane
I wasn't aware of them being a forum vendor... looks like the ticket !

Almost the same for me, except I don't get much of break until the very late afternoon into the evening this time of year. My driveway faces west to east, and the house is a ranch style, so I get almost no shade from the house.
