    Does anybody know any websites for decent bike trailer makers.

    Looking for a 3 berth trailer to tow on my car.

    No way in hell im putting a bike on the back of a truck since what happened
    last time.

  2. I'd be looking at an ordinary trailer and modifying to suit. i.e. bolt some
    channels in for the wheels, use removable tail gate for ramp etc. It'd be
    more versatile. Can even add gates and tarps for inclement weather, carting
    hay, sheep to market and the mother in-laws furniture.

    You asked for it, if you look at my winging from 2 years ago you will find
    it again..

    Furniture truck arrived (stating they were also professional bike movers
    when i booked them). My vtr 250 they had layed down on its side in the back
    of a truck and stacked box's ontop of it!

    I took most bits off it before I let them load it up luckily, but all the
    blinkers were bent.

    the bloke stated yeah I know how some people are about bikes as he righted
    it up, he almost dropped it the 2 meters off the back of the truck, luckily
    I was basically underneath it and caught it, managed to hold the bike up in
    the truck. scratches, bent bits.

    As I was looking for my shovel to bury this SOB in the backyard he said,
    yeah we always lay them down, otherwise the vibrations snap the side stand
    off!

    That and they lost all my bags clothes for 3 months!

    So I can transfer in 1 years time to somewere thats gota be better, I am
    taking steps to buy a bike trailer, tow bar etc now to do it my self, a bike
    trailer will come in handy through out my life anyway, flat tyres, crash
    recovery, break downs or generally moving them about.

    Anybody got a cheep 2nd hand towbar for a 94 Camry by any chance?

    Cheers
