ya, the motorcycle trailer is. I've loaded bikes a lot heavier then yours on there with no problems by rolling it. Just get a rolling start.

Or . since your bike runs, you could like, drive it onto the trailer :lol:

Its a lot easier with someone to sit on it and compress the forks a bit to get it strapped in once its on there though.

i don't wanna be this guy...

how not to load your bike :laughing:
:laughing: done that. luckily it was my dirtbike. Though i had an excuse, the wooden ramp was wet. That ramp is dry, and a mile wide. That makes me nervouse.

You're a lucky guy. I worked for them for 6 yrs. and always rented from someone else. If the employee discount had been 90%, I still would have gone elsewhere. Their horrible reputation is well deserved.

I'd be at a party and someone would mention where I worked, and the rest of the night I'd be plagued with U-Haul horror stories. What a nightmare of a company.

im interested in this trailer... http://www.scandipacific.com/index.php? ... &Itemid=38

i'll visit them some time next month. i wanna see it personally and ask for a demo on how to load and unload a sportbike.

hopefully, the folded size will be small enough and the bike is easy enough to load.

i'll save a lot of money on that instead of buying a trailer-in-a-bag.

Keith,
You can pick up the E-track stuff at any trailer supply store. You just buy what ever length you need and the E-clips. We are going to put it down both sides of our trailer then that will let you hook in a clip anywhere. It is very handy to have especially if you haul lots of odd shaped stuff. It is also great for motorcycles.

As for the wheel chalk, I am looking at one that locks the front wheel in place. Then, it also has a nylon strap the goes over the front wheel under the fender and ratchets tight. I think it is made by Kuryakin (sp). I t also has a quick release so it can be taken out of the trailer when you are not hauling the motorcycle.
