Here is my 5 x 10 utility trailer. I bought it about 10 years ago for "around the house" purposes. Very handy.

I bought a MC wheel chock (about $75) and a couple tie downs for the bike so I could haul it when the ride was too long for the wife. Used it last year for a 1900 mile round trip to Montana. Worked out perfectly. Easy on/off and towed great.

An enclosed trailer is probably better for MC purposes but my open trailer gets used more for home projects around my place. I have owned both.

If I did not need the trailer for home projects I would probably just rent a trailer for the 1-2 times per year my wife went with me on a MC trip.

It is good that you found one to borrow.

on the open trailers with ramps be careful you can bottom out going from ramp to trailer I have a chock in the one I use and I use the trailer jack to raise the front end to make the break over from ramp to trailer not so serve.

This sounds like good advice...especially for bike with little ground clearance.

Left the house this morning at 4:50 AM rolled to Douglas GA pickup up the new Motorcycle?ATV/Lawnmower trailer. Back in St George SC tonight. Got the motorcycle package, Chrome Rims, Radials, 6 tie down hooks on the inside, 12V lights while your hooked up. 16x7 has two foor on the V nose.
$4300.00







I'm coastal and my shop is 40" above ground the trailer will serve as a home or house where the bike is totally out the weather . Don't want to leave it under a shed with a tarp over it. Have a ATV and a Zero turn lawn mower that is getting a tad old staying at the shop way to much so The trailer will be used for a lot of things.
