    Blasphemy, I know, but I have been recently thinking if I get a trailer hitch and motorcycle trailer, it's going to make picking up whatever bike I decide to buy much easier.

    It'll also make it easier for me to do Track Days as I'd be able to bring my own canopy.

    Hmmmm.

    There are a couple listed just north of Baltimore that I may go look at.

    My feeling is that it's going to be a DR650 after all.

    My trailer is of course available to you if you find a bike before you have your own. It has a 1k pound capacity (it's carried my old GoldWing).

    ya, the ugly white cap is still on it.
    it takes about 4 people to lift it off due to its weight. not real handy

    since the DR is a light bike under 400LBS
    they do have receiver hitch cycle carriers.
    alternative to a trailer but won't work for heavier bikes.

    I also have that aluminum ramp for loading that came with the GS500.

    I'm not a fan of duncans trailer. that one time up to bobs for the 1100s was a pain in the a$$ - I'd rather spend the time removing the cap than deal with that trailer.

    I did like the trailer ryan had because it was setup correctly for bikes.
