AS I said one of the two times mine has been on a trailer is do to a flat tire. 😉
Great on the toy haulerand a wife that rides. Susy used to ride behind me but lost interest and I couldn't get her into the right mindset to ride her own. Trudy and a way to haul her came as the same idea, on a camping trip. We were camping with two other outfits and Daffy(6 months old at the time) wasn't liked by one of the other dogs in the group. I ended up taking her back to our trailer and the though hit me, "IF I HAD A SIDECAR RIG--WE COULD GO". I remenbered seeing a URAL at a bike show in the early 90s. Got home, Susy working/me retired, room for creative thinking. Found Crawford Sales about 30 miles away, he had inventory,to the bank,picked a rig, gave wrong cell phone number to bank and Crawford, got a call from Susy at work-"What loan is approved and who the h--- is Crawford?" Continued to design bike rack(she wouldn't give up her trailer for a toy hauler), another call from Susy at work, Your bike is ready to pick-up, what color did you get? CAMO????
I got it home and she didn't want to get in the sidecar so I parked it in the backyard, went inside and watched out the window. Wasn't long before she was standing close to Trudy and finally she tried it on. I went out to see how she liked it,she was a little warmer now, then I showed her the spotlight switch and told her she had full control of the spotlight, lot warmer now, even asked to go for a ride after dark to spot deer. She then signed us up for Crawfords Rally.I WON. I trained Daffy to ride in the yard and the rest is history. This whole set-up is working great for us. (Only had one kid in highschool that could aford a sporty, the rest of us just drooled)
or jump off your Norton Commando in Death Valley about 10.000 km away from home.... because a hit in the gear box.

For to top off the story the drivers name of the orange Beadle with a trailer hitch was called Lee Snow...
