I'd love to come to the next rally, but I do commercial refrigeration and from June through August I'm usually swamped. If it is in Arkansas, I would probably be able to swing a day or two off and ride up. A friend and I were talking about riding up there this fall.

I vote for Robbinsville and The Iron Horse again.... still a lot more to explore!

The left bike I have to roll up the gate into the shoe while standing on the ground. It isn't a problem for a light dirt bike but heavier bikes are much harder.

Also, with two bikes loaded routing the tiedown straps can get a little complicated. Sometimes they interfere with each other. I have eye bolts at the rear of the trailer, too.

With the spare wheel/tire I think I have $800 in the trailer. I got most of it at Tractor Supply.

They make a special system that locks the bikes in from the foot pegs. I'd really like to try it. It looks sort of like this: http://www.discountramps.com/joe-hauler-...p/FL-FPTD/

But it was much nicer. I can't find the link for it.

Sounds fine to me!

VA, or West VA would be cool. I have family in W. VA, and I know it is beautiful up there. We could make it closer to fall, when the leaves are turning...Wait, Nope, that's Carolina football season. Spring, yeah, spring is better...LOL.

KEN...... I knew you'd show up eventually!

It's a relief, really. On one of the Dragon photo sites (Kilboy, I think) there's a great series of a very nonchalant SCCBrider giving the photographer the wave.

Now you've got me thinking the trailer option. I don't have any set up for this but I guess I have time to figure that out! My wife really would like to go along, I think. Maybe they could set up a CB wives club.

Bought this trailer off a friend for $450.00. He was retiring from the service and used it to haul his wives collectibles around. Can move it with one hand on the driveway. Will be selling it eventually for something that can hold 3 bikes and has a drive up ramp door. For now it works fine. Installed tie downs in each corner. Driving through rain it keeps the bike from getting trashed and works well as a bare bones camper with a cot in it
