It has some cosmetic blemishes from use but overall in real decent shape and is easy to store out of the way. The bike tire rails come off to make a flatbed and I may have some brackets welded on so I can even add some wood side rails for hauling stuff.

Instead of taking a utility trailer and making it a motorcycle trailer I'm doing the opposite.

It was on NCSportbikes.com...saw it Sunday and bought it Monday.

Reminds me of a Tredmill that folds up. Neat idea actually if you live somewhere with limited space.

just googled what they retail for...Nice pickup!

Yea I was not planning to put that much in an open trailer...especially after seeing some of the ideas posted here but liked the stand up storage part since I'm limited for storage of a trailer. I don't have to pay to store it elsewhere or have to keep it at a friends house or anything. Nice to have it right here...can stand it up in the garage or just outside of it.

The wife got her bonus and said get it so I hopped in the Jeep Monday morning first thing since I was off for President's Day and was rolling toward Raleigh to get it.

With her bonus I didn't have to tap in to my Rottweiler $$.

You know that the $300 Harbor Freight trailer stands up too, right?...

Not that I'm saying that it's just as good or anything, because it isn't but....

^^^Actually I didn't but I'm good with this trailer...bringing it back home the other night rolling 75 or so down the interstate it tracked so well I had to keep looking back in my side mirrors to even know it was still there. Had it not been for the timing of her bonus and this trailer popping up on a local site and my day off... I'd probably have the HF trailer or something similar soon.
