I saw sixdogs trailer and wondering waht brand it was. Kinda looking for something, one rail is fine. Wish list....Automotive size wheels, load while flat on the ground or close, one person loadable. Not too massive, somewhat on the lighter side..... Dunno what to look at, probably pull it with the V6 3800 Buick... Cheerz all
I love my Triton AUT1064. I had the 864, but a little longer was nice for all of the track day stuff.
Before rushing out and "buying" a trailer you probably need to seriously consider whether buying rather than renting is the right answer for you? If you are only going to use it perhaps once or twice a year - do you have somewhere where you can store it where it won't just get in the way? If you own it - it will also need some occasional maintenance - checks of bearings and tyre pressure etc - if its a rental that is all done for you. How many bikes will you need to carry and what other kit might need to be carried? Do you really only want a motorbike only use trailer or would a generic open trailer with suitable tie down points be a better more useful asset - so it would be able to carry motorbikes one day, and other stuff the next? Could security be an issue if you are likely to park up overnight outside a hotel whilst on a trip carrying motorbikes - then perhaps the typical U-Haul (horse box) trailer would be a better choice. It sounds like your Buick should be fine for most sensible trailers - but it is worth checking the specific rules in your country. Over in the EU an additional driving test pass is required for larger than 750kg loaded trailers - and you should check with thour insurere as quite often an additional insurance premium is charged if you intend to tow a heavy trailer. Personally I have a 750kg max weight unbraked galvanised steel motorbike trailer. It is kitted out with front wheel anchorages bolted to the chassis which is in theroy suitable for three motorbikes. But to carry 3 they would have to be small trials/125 motorbikes! Normally the two outer slots are used when carrying two bikes with the middle slot only used when carrying a single motorbike. Cheaper motorbike trailers only come with one or more rails/channels bolted to a bare metal frame (so no floor). My trailer has a demountable loading ramp/channel and stainless steel full checker plate decking covering the entire floor of the trailer which makes loading and unloading a lot easier than trying to move around and secure a bike whilst standing just on narrow rails. With hindsight I probably should have hired a trailer rather than buying one outright as I quickly discovered it occupies a lot of space in the yard and far too often needs to be moved out the way. However the second-hand purchase cost was significantly less than the rental fee. Suffice to say it is now up for sale - in France.
