Not quite as powerful as my Vulcan, but it handles 2-up nicely and it matches all my gear!

I have $500.00 invested in everything you see. That includes:

- Both bikes
- Gel seat for my bike
- Water bottles and cages
- Computer (speed, mileage)
- Flashing LED tail light on the trailer

The Trek 820 is nothing fancy, but it does have a 21-speed Shimano rapid-fire shift system and decent front suspension. I can barely feel the trailer with my son aboard unless I take a corner too close and slam him into a picnic table (don't ask me how I know that!

).

That's awesome but doesn't the wide wheel base make it a bit of a pain in the twisties?

In all seriousness, I can turn this rig so sharp the trail-a-bike starts going backwards!

How many times do you think you can do that before he stops riding with you completely?

Hahaha, I bet he loves riding around with you though!
