Scott,

Great looking trailer.  With that V-nose and low profile, it will tow like a dream.  Just remember to duck your head when you're riding your bike into it though!  Looks like the same as Chip's but different color scheme.  I don't remember the name of the chocks that he installed, but they are definitely the best I've seen.  Super stable and easy loading.  Good luck with the trailer.  Like Ken said, rather ride than trailer, but would certainly rather trailer than miss an event because of weather!

Looks great!  I'm thinking about a trailer buy in the off season - couple questions -

did you have to special order to get the colors?  how long to get delivery then if so ?

ballpark costs if you don't mind me asking ?

I did not have to special order the color.  It was in stock.  I suppose each dealer orders what they think will sell...

List price is $7000.00 for the options that came on mine - although the dealer I bought from was more then ready to deal, seeing it is a motorcycle trailer and it is fall...

Nice looking unit Scott.  Congrats on the score.  And here is hoping you only ever use it by choice :drink: .

I have a 7 x 12 flatbed open trailer with an aluminum diamond plate deck that carried my bike to Sturgis one time in 15 trips - and it was by choice.  One of my 04 O/B SEEG's came home on a someone else's trailer after an incident with a deer - not by choice.

My hope for the enclosed trailer is I am able to extend my riding season by taking some trips south or west in the off season.  We'll see if it works out that way.

Time will tell how it works out.  Like d00d, I changed jobs in May of this year.  I have squeezed in two vacation days so far this year.  I have ample vacation, I just don't know if circumstances will allow me to use it.  It's not that the boss won't let me, because I am the boss.  We are doing a new product launch and have an incredible schedule we are trying to meet.  Between suppliers, contractors, customers and the technology - my time is not mine at the moment.   :nixweiss:

Definitely know how that can be. Just thought I'd throw it out there for food for thought. Would be nice if you could make it. :2vrolijk_21:

These hold a bagger upright while you are tying the bike down?
