^^ lots of people have used the HF trailer, the biggest recurring issue is the wheel bearings. Make sure they are repacked with quality lube

I have a friend that pulls his bikes around on one of the HF trailers. Here is the skinny. You don't have to make it foldable but the extra reinforcement welds go a long way.

I'm not worried about the quality, my neighbor has one and it's worked just fine for him. I would just need to do a few things to it to turn it into an idea moto trailer, the downside is that my setup will only allow me to tow one bike at a time.

You missed it. It was playing around the same time as Gravity. Should be available on DVD/BluRay now.
It was good but I think I still like Grand Prix (~1960s) better. |

I'll rent it from redbox or something, when it comes out on dvd/bluray looks like its worth a watch. Nothing f1 related beats ayrton senna videos though, the man was phenomenal in the seat of a car.

I have read a lot of the posts, but not all, so forgive me if this has been said.
I think that people like going fast because it is fun for a lot of different reasons. People don't intentionality go too fast because they wouldn't be going that fast if they realized that it was "too fast." They are having fun and being enthusiastic when things suddenly get out of hand. That's when the panic ensues and that just makes shizz way worse. That's how I feel that crashes happen. It's liking jumping into a pool and then realizing how deep it is. I dunno, my opinion I guess |

a pool does not have trees and telephone poles and cagers trying to kill you. It does not matter how deep the pool is, if you can swim you will be ok, unless there's piranhas, now we are talking street scene!

Being prepared would solve this, but why be prepared? Go as fast as possible and hope for the best. Skills are overrated. |
