Title: Does anyone tow?
Post by: kenvil1 on March 10, 2015, 08:06:42 PM: I saw this product at a motorcycle show recently; if you like to golf or cycle during your motorcycle trips, you might be interested. The price of the suitcase, however, is more than the price of the trailer itself. Go figure!

I see the Canadians now and most Europeans use a period, where we use a comma and separate the numbers where we use a comma.

When I first look, I see a $ 100,000 trailer...... :o

I have also seen 100.000.00, it's just interesting, that's all.

Post by: cruzziguzzi on March 13, 2015, 09:35:53 PM: Nice little trailer but I should think it'd be a bit bouncy for me - then there's that 150 pound limit. With that much space potential... I'd be way over that.

Post by: kenvil1 on March 14, 2015, 08:17:05 AM: I'll never own a bike heavy enough to tow with, but if I did, I doubt I would want much more than 150 lbs on the trailer. The sales rep at the show had two bicycles on one of the demo trailers, and he was in the habit of lifting one wheel high off the ground and letting it drop to demonstrate the suspension. It wasn't bouncy at all, though it was only lightly loaded.

The prices of the accessories don't make sense, however. Why would someone pay over $1,000.00 for a suitcase when they could get a pair of (larger) golf cases for less coin. And it looks like a rolled-up tent would fit nicely into one of those golf cases.

The product is from the province of Quebec. They sometimes use the European style of writing currency. The reason is to be different from the rest of Canada. They like to think they are "distinct." :P
