Northeast Ohio | So I am out on eBay, looking for a pull behind MC trailer and come across this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Motorcycle-trailer-that-turns-your-b...
Seriously... Are you kidding me? |

New Bohemia, VA | It's not about motorcycling, it's about utility. Would I have one? For the utility, but don't expect to see me doing the dragon. Try to ignore the rest of the world, because 80% of those who don't ride, don't even understand why we do. And if there is more than one, as pictured, someone likes it other than him. |

Northeast Ohio | varyder, I love your 'optimistic' attitute about it, but come on. We all know there is NO WAY you would do this to your Vision. A $700 home depot utility trailer bolted to a bike. LOL |

New Bohemia, VA | You're right Scorebo, no way would I do it to my vision, there is no point. Maybe an old ricer like an old goldwing, sure. I never said do it to the vision, just a motorcycle. By the way, did you know there is a Goldwing in Europe that is configure to tow cars? You can do a search on a Goldwing car tower and get the lowdown, its about utility.
Now, that we aired out a little, yes, the whole trailer bit fixed to a bike is definetely out of the ghetto, very creative though. What's next, haulin' the bar-b-que grill on it with it cooking while stacked up with lawn chairs and the family on the way to the races???? |

Plainfield Illinois | OR these might be concept vehicles built by GM to comply with the Messiah's new CAFE mandate for light trucks in 2016. It doesn't matter if ya like em or not. You'll hafta buy one or else........ An oufit called Voyager, that's about an hour from here, makes these kits. On a lighter nore, I'd like to take a moment to remember David Carradine, whose passing leaves the United Brotherhood of the Chicken Chokers in search of a new Grand Poobah.

Southeast Iowa | If your motorcycle trailer is part of your bike..............you might just be a redneck!
Really, there is a reason all of this guys work has been done to old motorcycles. Who in there right mind would fix a $400 utility trailer to a decent bike? As for the Voyager.........most of these conversions look like training wheels on a motorcycle. (no offense to anyone if you have one, just my opinion) Last week I saw a 883 Sportster with a Voyager kit.............I laughed for miles! |

Richmond, Virginia | Thank goodness we have some people thinking about the future, our survival and protecting the one planet we have. Im greatful that
auto makers are now being forced to use the money we loaned them to make cars that THE MAJORITY of we the people have asked for,
not just the vehicles they want us to buy. Thank goodness for common sense. oh yeah, the trailorbike was FUGALOUSY. |

Its the American way. Find a niche matket that no one else has tapped and try to capitalize on it.
I'm sure there are people in trailer parks and shacks just drooling over this? |

Linwood, MI | Y'all can laugh and make disparaging remarks about that contraption, but just remember, there's a whooooole lot of people laughing and talking about fugly our rides are, too.
*shrug* Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and functionality is in the hands of the user. |

So Cal | Just the fact that he took the time to build these contraptions shows he has more on the ball than most. Love it or hate it. |
