  • light weight dual trailer - I like it.

    http://www.ironhorsetrailers.com/

    I've always liked the design of these trailers. Light weight and areo-dynamic. Painted up they would look really good. Ottaway has one I think.
    Someone was thinking about the reality that not everyone is hauling with a heavy duty truck.

    Chariot model is 4'3"- H @ 750lbs.
    Flip top is 6'6" - H @ 1000lbs. $5000.00
    both on 14" rims.

    With the price of gas expected to go right through the roof this summer.
    There're looking even better. Take a look -and tell me what you think.

    Don't forget to inspect and regrease your trailer bearings before hitting the road. Do your lights work?

    Looks a little "pricey" to me. When you add the necessary options (brakes,break away safety, hold downs, tread plate ect.) Your'e looking at over 6 Gs. And you still only have a single axel. I'm guessing that it won't hold two full size bikes. (dressers).

      Apparently two full dress will fit.

      If you hauling 2000lbs total do you really need brakes? and why. A car or van w/ 4 disk.

      Double axel - four bikes with extra stuff and gear - ya I can see it.

        Reminds me of a great T-shirt I saw. It said "I rode my bike to trailer week". Who am I to pass judgement on that one as I almost always take a bike in a van.

          My moto is "if your bike ain't broke then ride it". But I also believe in "each to his own", and "live and let live", etc. I can see trailering if you need to bring more than one bike, I'm thinking that trying to control two at a time on the highway could get a bit circus like...ha......ha..... That's my two-bits........
