Thoughts on trailering

I have always kind of snickered under my breath at people who trailer their bikes, I never could quite understand the reason for why somebody would do that. Especially when I go to Reno which is about 200 miles away from my house and I see people with California plates trailering their bikes on the way to street vibrations.

However


My Indian is 11 months old with 10k on her already.
By the time I get home from the next RAA she’ll have nearly 20K on her.

Also I’m getting older and driving is less wear and tear on my old bones....

And less stressful since I’ll have my son with me...

So am I going to trailer to RAA next year?

Hell no! My bike is my only form a transportation for a reason.

However even if I wanted to trailer I couldn’t simply because I can’t afford to buy a trailer and something to haul it with.

So what are your thoughts on trailering ? Do you do it? Why or why not?

Reading this post, I noticed a couple of pictures with Rockets in the bed of pickups. It's hard to tell, but it looks like the rear tires are on the tailgate. I believe the tailgates are rated for 300 lb. I've had the cables break.

Looks like I broke the right footpeg off the Roadster too. And one of the brackets for the flyscreen, but it was cracked halfway through when I got it.
