No that's only for rescue and SUCH. Gray area is a loophole. Nice equipment.

Not every bike you pick up is a runner and I’ve grind it’s impossible to both ride a bike to the buyers place then ride them both home at the same time. Trucks and/or trailers are sometimes a necessity.

Very nice trailer!  I bought a home-made utility trailer several years ago, made by a welder, so it's overbuilt with angle iron everywhere, and some kind of car suspension (think old gasser without the leaf springs).  The front folds down and the bed tilts, and I've used it to haul numerous bikes and misc stuff.  The tie-down eyelets are thru the angle iron, not the wood, so they're not going anywhere.  However, the wood is starting to show its age, so I might have to look at seriously replacing it with a more modern utility trailer.

Old geezer?  Maybe, maybe not. 

On the plus side, you haven’t mentioned your lumbago, complained about dentures, or yelled at those darn kids to get off your yard.

The good thing about a trailer when going on holiday,  is that you can keep the peace and talk to your non riding significant other half on the way, and still go out for a ride when you get here.

I have also just recently entered the old geezer riding club.  Purchased this small (17’) toy hauler for my meet n greet lunch trips that are too far away for me to ride to and staying in the area at campgrounds for a few days!

I bought my 4x8 trailer "new" in '90 for $400 to move from one home to another.  These days it gets used by friends & family for all sorts of things but I still use it once in a while.  I think I'm on my fourth set of tires since they don't age well.

Keeping it registered has cost more than the pruchase price.

I'm a proud geezer too :thumb:  I have a bumper hitch carrier for the T7. The ride across Kansas to get to the Rockies has lost the allure for me. The F150 is a smoother more comfortable ride for the smelly parts of Kansas. :grin:
