I know the local Lowe's was just unloading some small (6'L x 4'w) ramped trailers the other day. They didnt' have any prices on them, but couldnt' be more than $300. Good thing is that they can be used for hauling more than the scoot in the future, which could help ok the cost.

I heard the cheaper trailers with the small wheels don't last long. Apparently the wheel bearing don't hold up over the miles.

I've got a 10' that has been through two sets of tires, and trust me, has not been in the best of care..it's a work trailer. As long as you keep them greased and put some bearing buddies on there, you should have no problems.

Harbor Freight has a good selection of cheapies. Get the one with 12 in wheels and rated for 1000+. I cut down one to pull behind my Cruiser, used a Sears 20cf cartopper for a box, and have been coast to coast with it. The wheelbrarings are ok, you just need to service them annually.......TB

I use a 6x10 lawnmower trailer. It pivots down for easy loading. Works great. I haven't hauled the 14 on it yet, but I hauled my old bike on it some.

That would be really awesome bro. It really gives me alot more to look forward to when I get back home. Zammy, it's not a prob, but I really thank you for being, thankful. So, is there any street racing down in the Orlando Area? I know that sounds pretty stupid, but I was just wanting to see if there was iwth the way that the FL cops were talkin about takin ppl's bikes from just pure memory of what they thought their tags were. I thought that was rediculious and I asked my company 1st sgt about that because he is a state trooper in my home state of Ar. and he said that their state laws are a bunch of BS and that he would just pursuit anyways.
