Go tow yer bike yerself!
Aug 14th, 2009 by Leo
I remember seeing this at the bike show at Javits and thinking “meh!” But the more I see it, the more intriguing it becomes! Imagine not having to ride four hours to a track day. Imagine being able to tow your own bike when it conks out or needs some work done. Imagine also being able to go away on a road trip, pack all your essentials, and when you get there park the car and ride your bike!
Now if you ride a cruiser, the first and last scenarios are silly, why tow it if you can just ride it? And if I had a GoldWing, I’d take that anywhere. But if you ride sportier bikes, it’s not so practical.
The best thing about this particular brand www.trailerinabag.com (I think it’s the original) is that it will fit in the trunk of your Honda Civic after you’re done. And living in the city, that means this is the ONLY kind of motorcycle trailer for you…
Tell me what you think. Anyone have one of these in the city? How often do you get to use it?

By the way, I just installed a trailer hitch on my Corolla. $150 from JC Whitney. Extremely easy! 4 bolts that go into pre-existing holes on the frame. The hardest part is cleaning out the holes so the bolts can screw in more easily…
I don’t know if I’m ready to fork over $1200 for a trailer yet, but if I find a used one online, I’m ready!
Many of the people I know in the city who trailer their motorcycles to the track use a motorcycle carrier rather than a trailer. The carriers allow you to drive at much higher speeds compared to trailers. The two that I see people using most frequently are Versa Haul and Moto Tote.
Speaking of the track, I though I was the one of the few nutjobs who rode to the track and back. What promoters do you ride with and at which track?
