A quick google found this: http://www.supermotojunkie.com/showthre ... ow-Vehicle and my inspiration was http://trailerinabag.com/index.html

I am especially impressed with the Gold Wing towing a motorcycle trailer, with less weight than a car, he reports no handling issues, even after hitting some obstacles as a test.

A 10K lb trailer could haul 20+ Nortons, not really in the same leagues :wink:

PS I made my trailer with the wheels in line with those of my car so I avoid an obstacle with the car's wheels, the trailer's wheels should not hit anything, also a wider stance is better for less tendency to roll.

When I first started reading motorcycle magazines which was in the mid-sixties, there was a story about a couple who toured all the way to Alaska on a Harley towing a boat, this was when HDs were not very reliable, had drum brakes and almost no one was pulling trailers with motorcycles. Impressed me enough to remember.

I have seen pictures from the 1930s of I think an AJS 500 and sidecar towing a caravan (Trailer).
