JeffPGA said:Unless you are looking to make trailering a habit, I'd suggest the U-Haul open route. Depending on your stay, you may be able to arrainge two one-way drops cheaper than holding the trailer for the whole trip. Either way is cheaper than investing in the trailer for limited use. I trailered my bike from Atlanta to LA in May, then rode it back across country in the CFA Kyle Petty Charity Ride. The U-Haul and some Canyon Dancers did fine.
If you do invest in a trailer, I agree that you should be sure it has full size tires and adequate suspension for the load. You can always buy it, use it a few times and then sell it.

I just went through the trailer scouting thing. Inquired, compared & pondered. I bought a 5x8 landscaping trailer at menards and attached a sheet of 3/4" pt plywood to the deck. Ordered a "bike vise" online and mounted it to the deck also. Add a set of tie down straps and you're ready to go. The trailer has 12" tires, leaf springs, 1,600 # capacity. I haul a R 1200 CLC and it rides rock steady. The bike vise is the way to go. I've got about $800 in this rig.KatHart said:Any recommendations for a single, folding bike trailer? Currently looking at the Kendon, but there's a Stinger folding from Ramp Connection.com that looks pretty cool & holds more weight. Need one by 9/12 as I'm trailing my new F650 to Hatteras!
