Hey folk, I know there is a lot out there with giddy-ups, that is trailers. Now it would be one thing to scour the gallery for all you folk, but how about if you just post them in this thread? I've not got a trailer yet and I think that is my next purchase for the wife.

I think she'd ride more and longer if she could take her dresser. Hey, that's an idea, maybe I can design a dresser that converts to a trailer. I had thought about designing one where the drawers that were actually suitcases, that way when she went home to mother it wouldn't be so hard to pack, just pull the drawers out and off she'd go.

Anyway, I'd like to see what you got going on as much as you'd like to show it off. I'd start, but....

Sorry Sir but I have never taken the time to learn how to post pictures to the site. Here is a link to the trailer I have, I didn't get the luggage rack or the built in cooler I did however purchase from them a cooler carrier for the tongue. If I had your e-mail I would send you some pic's.

I have an old Bushtec trailer I pulled behind my Nomad with little effect on the bike. I will pull it for the first time in August behind the Vision on a 5600km trip.

no problem, B.... uh, BlackJack... I like that trailer and I know it would look good behind the Vision. I really like the price and the ability to put a cooler on the tongue. That is good for all day riding.

I have 2 trailers, a small cargo (make-up case) and the tent trailer from Trail Masters Inc. The only picture I have of the little trailer is with my previous bike.

Absolutely good all day long!! Tows so well I have taken to adjusting my mirrors so that every time I look in them I am reminder the trailer is back there. I originally purchased it in black for my 03 TC and have since painted it the fastest color out there. I also like the fact that the 4.80x12 tires are available everywhere. One important thing to remember when you buy a trailer: the bigger the trailer the more you significant other will want to bring. We are leaving for a two week trip to the west coast via the Black Hills and Yellowstone National park and it will hold every thing we need.

Chris Sit tight and look at the new trailor Ricky Catlin has on order for his blue Vision Its a new model trailor specifically designed for the Vision and it is S W E E T I have a photo, but i think he wouldnt be happy if i spread it all around. But the style and design flow beautifully with the lines of the Vision. It even has the V pattern lighting in the rear......

I rode on the V2V with a guy that had one. Looked pretty good. It's small, but it held a lot more than I thought it would.

The only downside to it was that we had to stop a couple of times so he could adjust his cargo. Apparently it all needs to be well-balanced in there or the trailer gives you some trouble.

I ordered a hitchdoc hitch for my 2009 but was unable to find anyone that make a "plug and play" harness. Too bad money to be made there!

Wish I could post a picture of mine on this site but every time I've tried I screw it up some how. I bought a Scarab trailer from Gypsy trailers in Canada, the match up to the bike is really good and it has an incredibly large interior. We just came back from a trip and beleive me we did take the kitchen sink and everything from the wife's dresser. There are all kinds of features that sold me on this model but have a look for yourself. I was able to post photos on Thevog.net Check it out.
