I know this may not appeal to many for appearances, but this is the same trailer platform as all of the Bushtec's and is very utilitarian.

I have to admit that I like a color matched trailer, but it really doesn't matter much since the trailer only will be used 6 - 10 times a year.

(I will bet I will not use mine that much)



I think I would be more prone to pull this than a none color matched unit.

The only issue I see, is the lack of water protection.

Think of it as a "Motorcycle Pick up"

Seems more like a grocery getter or something to take on local parts runs when you know the weather for the duration.  Can't imagine loading it up for a trip.

I like it.
I have a hitch on 3 different bikes and most likely any trailer will not match.
With this you can throw on a "Thule" cargo bag for your stuff and be good.
And if it has to match, painting three sets of fenders is better than three trailers.
I wonder what it weighs?

I'm liking this idea, but like the idea of locking stuff out of site better. Doc
