When I Got A New Motorcycle, I Decided That I Would Need To Look At Motorcycle Trailers |

It has long been a dream of mine to hit the pavement on a custom made motorcycle, but when this dream finally came true for me, I realized that I needed to look into motorcycle trailers in order to maximize my bike's use. I had spent so long badgering my wife into letting me get a motorcycle, I had not given any thought to how I might get the motorcycle anywhere. My wife was certainly not going to ride with me like some "floozy," so when we went on vacation, I was going to need a trailer so I could use the bike as circumstances permitted.
I remembered that when I needed a trailer to help me with my landscaping business, I had found a great place not too far from me that sold solid, sturdy trailers for a good price. I pulled up their website and discovered that not only did they have motorcycle trailers, but they had both flatbed and enclosed options for me to look at. I did what investigating I could online, but knew that I would have to take a look in person before making a decision.
The next weekend, I hopped in my truck and drove up to the trailer lot. There, I took a while deciding which of the motorcycle trailers was right for me. The enclosed trailers would offer a lot more protection for my motorcycle, but they were more expensive, and what was a motorcycle for, if not to be exposed to the grit and dust of the open road?
I also spent some time looking at dump trailers, as I was thinking of expanding my business and would need another trailer if I did. Finally, I got back to the business at hand and I decided to go for the flatbed model, which had a price to my liking, and hitched it up to my truck. A few weeks later, when my wife and I were getting ready to head out on our summer vacation, I put my motorcycle on the trailer, hitched it up, and we were good to go.
We drove through the Pacific states on our trip, and when we stopped to camp or spend an evening in a hotel room, I unloaded my motorcycle. When my wife was busy shopping, I hit the road and explored, feeling the wind on my face and the scent of freedom on the breeze.
