Speaking of Rednecks....

Back when I had the 5' wide open trailer with rails I did not use wheel chocks...just straps so that's why I initially wondered about it fitting with a 4' wide trailer.

Chocks are definitely the way to go.

Chocks are definitely the way to go.

Especially the locking chocks like these. I roll the bike in and it stands up by itself so I don't have to mess around with kick stands or whatever. 100% easier than regular chocks and 1,000,000% easier than without any chocks-been there, done that.

I'm really thinking about going with option 2. both forward, one bike to the front and one 2' back. It leaves a really nice spot for a strap, jack, tools, etc box.

Trailer does look pimptastic. I am always scared of a bike backwards though, I keep getting the mental image of the wind shield catching air and flying off. Not even sure if its possible.

I may still go back to hers 2' back from mine because I think that it looks cool! Because of the axle location, I really wanted to place the heaviest part of her bike on the back, so....

I think I remember that happening to some guy on the old Florida forum I was on... Ripped some of the plastics off...

Do you not tie down the back of the bike at all? Doesn't it bounce side to side?

i usually throw straps on the back of bikes just to keep them from moving around too much.

BTW I used to haul my 3 wheelers with a '79 firebird w/400 in it. yes it had air shocks and fat tires. LOL

I used to have a hitch on my '71 Chevelle.

I towed everything with that fucking car. It was a beast.

I got a ticket once, in upstate NY, towing a VW Squareback on a tow bar; 79 MPH.
