Does anyone tow?
« 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!

It's a neat product for sure.  I'm planning to build something like this for cycling:

It's interesting to my 'Merican brain.

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.

Might be a Canadian product but it's not generally a Canadian convention to express numbers like that.

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.

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
