Seems there is now a Sidecar / trike forum...
How about adding trailers to the Heading.
Basically as:
-------
Sidecars, Trikes and Trailers.
It's OK Being the Third Wheel.

I guess we can kill the Poll too...

So you will update the name per the original request(s)?

Hey, this mod is at the bottom of the food chain but will pass the request along. If it does not happen be sure that trailer information keeps getting posted.
Now for a silly question. What does one use a trailer for?

Good sized sidecars used to get attached to bikes with less displacement. Of course in those days folks were not trying to reach terminal velocity.

Small as in light?
Don't go too light. A reputable dealer will set you up correctly.
I'm sure in the coming days you'll get more than enough information to make an educated decision.
PM Dave has a THE book to read.
Contact him for info.

Yes... I asked it to be in the name but the request was ... ?
Just wanted to let you know that we reviewed this post and wanted to let you know the reason the forum for sidecars and trikes was named specifically that is due to the specificity of the vehicles configuration
Trailers belong in the Gear Forum. The reasoning is that they are seperate from the machine and could be towed with your car if you wanted. So it is viewed as an accessory and not an integral part of the vehicle.
So how do trailers fit into that description.? (Integral to the machine) Or in other words why should they be included in the trike forum title?

So it has to be 'qualified'?
Sidecars are actually classified as accesories to a motorcycle...
Regardless, as I'm not splitting hairs... I meant to say subtitle.
