No I am not that fast but I am working on it. Thanks everyone for the the warm welcome.

You shouldnt tow anymore than 50% of your bikes curb weight. The trailer width shouldnt be any wider than the widest part of bike. Tongue weight should only be 10-15% of total trailer weight. I stick bathroom scales under each wheel and use a fish scale to measure tongue weight level with hitch. Suspension: a trailing arm or A arm with air shocks or hydraulic will give the best ride. I can go over huge bumps towing my Bushtec and it doesnt bounce. Leaf springs and torsion suspensions will bounce going over bumps, which is not a good feeling in a corner. If you decide to build your own the tongue should be atleast 1.5 times longer than the width between the wheels, any shorter and the trailer will sway. Have you ever considered a waterproof bag that attaches to rear of bike? http://www.rivcoproducts.com/products/product.php?productid=361&cat=273&page=1 There are other brands also such as Packit Rack

Hi everybody, I ride a GoldWing aka GeezerGlide but I dont ride it like one. I enjoy finding the twistiest roads I can, Kentucky, West Virginia, Tennessee, North and South Carolina and North Georgia are my favorites.
