I would agree, this guy is certainly certifiable :o

I dunno, you can't exactly put much luggage on a chopper - trailer seems very sensible :mrgreen:

Couple of weeks' time I'm going to help a friend at a jumble sale and I'll have to ride down with a trailer of bike stuff - practice next week.

Ivor's tip of the day.... if the trailer is empty don't forget you need to corner slowly otherwise it'll flip over and slide down the road which does nothing positive for your handling. ahem. :shock: :(
I expect. probably. someone told me once. etc.

Thanks for the advice, Ivor. Paddington Bear stare for you, methinks.

I doubt that it'll be empty for either the ride or the ride back - though hopefully it will be lighter...

The other day I saw a bloke riding a motorcycle, alongside which was a sidecar. In the sidecar was sitting a dog who seemed to be thoroughly enjoying the whole fur-blowing-in-the-wind experience.

Amy - maybe you should give your cat a go in the trailer.

Ha, my friend has built a trailer to take his cat in. He did suggest I put Claudia in it but she likes looking out the window on the bus :D

Another friend takes hers in a wheelbarrow - we used an old lady shopping trolley for ours :D
