Lots of solid advice with explanations, no doubt from years of experience (good & bad), thank you. Soto also make a dual fuel (Butane & Petrol) that is tiny but very effective.
Exactly what I've been looking for, thank you!
Good I'm glad you found the info useful. Hopefully I will save a life or two.
Excellent. Thank you
Thank you, i made this series for no other reason than to help people out and share my knowledge b4 I fall off the old perch. I never expected them to be very popular videos.
Great stuff...
Your comment that the hitch should never be attached to the axle is good. Ask CanAm why they did this (trailer towbar attached through the back axle). It is also illegal according to ADR's.
Have broken the drawbar one trailer already.
Its crazy, you wouldn't tow a trailer connected to the diff of a car, nobody would.
Does Jim Gow (Old Guy On A Bike) know you're using his footage of his trailer coming loose?
@@motorcyclecafe that he is; got to meet him a few weeks ago. He's riding a GL1500 Gold Wing these days.
@@motorcyclecafeLove seeing past mistakes become learning lessons. Good advice on this video.
@@motorcyclecafe riding a 4 corners of this continent right now. In Yellowstone National Park tonight.
Wher I live your only allowed to go 40 miles per hour with a trailor.
@@motorcyclecafe Well, once I had a Goldwing overtake me doing about 70Mls.
and a short while later he was in the ditch with all his equipment strewn accross the highway, so you have to watch your speed.
Pulling a trailer is a bad idea unless designed specifically for that bike.
What can you do differently to say a trailer is designed for a specific bike? Other than weight limits I can think of NOTHING.
A seriously Useful Video....I am a Smartace😀but I learnt a lot from watching it....Excellent stuff.
Thank you! The whole series covers pretty much everything about towing. The one on tyres is quite interesting. Theres a maths formula in it for tyre pressures which is 100% acc for any trailer, even caravans.
