Talk to your accountant Bob! There's gotta be a way to write it off as a "business" expense... or maybe as therapy?
It would be nice to be able to buy a 622 trailer in the UK!!
They're not imported.
I put Cindy, my wife, in it when she gets out of line behind me. <ducking>
I wish, Patti!! They don't meet 'type approval' standards over here....don't know why, maybe ground clearance is seen to be an
issue. You could import one as a private individual but you would not be allowed to sell them on a commercial basis.
British Customs might prove to be a problem unless the trailer was a used one.
You could probably use it without having to answer any awkward questions as there are so few Spyders here anyway.
Generally speaking vehicles towing a trailer here are limited to 60mph.....I can't think of any exceptions.

Put business cards and brochures in the trailer for all those business calls you make "on the road." Now you have a company sales vehicle. Depreciate it over a 5 year period or so ($3499 (sale) / 60--that's only $58 per month). :thumbup:
Your friendly Accountant.
PS: $1K off is a great price. :2thumbs:
I'll tell her that my Accountant has given a thumbs-up! :thumbup:
Wish me luck!![]()
Thanks! :thumbup:
How can I get one past the Missus? :shocked:
I really enjoy having the R622 trailer. My wife and I make weekend trips, or longer, many times during the year on the spyder and it is great to just throw luggage, folding chairs, a cooler, extra bulky jackets, helments etc. It takes away the problem of trying to pack everything in the spyder, trying to figure out just what jackets to take and, when the bike would be full, you have to carry helmets around cause there is nowhere to put them. Just pitch them in the trailer and lock it up. Plus it pulls excellant. I actually have checked my mirrors many times to see if it is still there! I know that sounds funny but those of you who have one understand. And believe me, it trailers so well that it won't slow you down in the twisties. I watched Lamont run off ahead of me once on a run to Shady Valley (known as the Snake) He was gone! Trailer and all, I didn't have mine with me at the time and he pulled away and was gone! The trailer was like it was on rails behind him. (he had just picked up his '14 RT at the dealer).
It is a pricey unit but I will say it is built well and I am very happy with it.
