I reckon you got it for free and you need to put air in the tires, or lose weight, and its probably more reliable than your Nomad.

I certainly have mate.I pulled into the local Harley dealer,on the way home with it Saturday.Could'nt miss a chance to wind the weekend warriors up,now could i.

If you look just to the front,left of the trailer,you will see a hole in the hedge.Thats where i just pulled my bike out,after locking up the front wheel,and dropping it.

You are right on all 4 counts mate. When i was pumping the tyres up later,i discovered why it was so hard to steer.The front wheel had been fitted with the disk alongside the caliper,instead in between the pads,and the spindle was so loose,it had an inch play on it.

I hope this isn't a trainer for the Rascal in your future. (seriously ) Bummer about dropping your bike. Hope the damage was none to minimal.

No damage at all mate.Just a whole load of stinging nettle rash,and bramble scratches up my arms.It was a bastard to get it out though.I had put the sidestand down,then get it up,hoping that it would'nt topple over into the ditch.Then drag it backwards,while my feet kept slipping on the gravel.At least 20 cars went by,all looking,but not one of them stopped to help.

No purchase involved mate. Some woman bought it new,and only rode it 1/4 of a mile.She put it together herself, ( making a right bollocks of it too ) and it scared her,so i swooped in,and offered to take it out of her garage.

It's a JOKE, think about it until you have a reason to LOL.
You old dog, you'll ride anything.
