There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

yes i understand. i open trailered my mercury cars to national show for years.
built a v front on the trailer that directed the rain over and around the car.
worked well when moving.[ not so well when stopped:roflblack:]. im pretty anal about NOT getting
the spyder wet. day rides only. wife wishes i treated the house like my vehicles.
and , no, our butts and backs wouldnt like a 500+ jaunt one way.
shoulda started planning sooner.

Our trailer is really nothing specific. It's just a 6x10 aluminum utility trailer with a rear ramp, much like many people use for atv's and mowers and such. (2500# capacity) It has rails that are about a foot above the deck. I bought some extra tie down loops so I could put them where I wanted them(2 at each wheel, one directly in front of each wheel and one directly behind each wheel, with a tie down strap over the tires.) Just like the rear tire is shown in the pic. Works perfect, and cheap and easy to do. We paid $1400 for the trailer.

You are so right about it not being for the poor :2thumbs:
I too am looking for a trailer as I want to go to a few events this summer but riding to them will not work for me.

Not home at the moment to look what brand it is, but it's a simple utility trailer really. Like I said, nothing special, just an aluminum, wood deck, rails, perforated aluminum rear ramp trailer. I bought it in LaCrosse WI, just off the interstate. There are lots of dealers out there. I actully located mine on Craigslist. Just do a search for 6x10 aluminum utility trailer, and shop away. I got lucky to find mine at a great price.

Thanks for the info....
..about your trailer. We too are retired and looking for ways to do some things without spending lots of money. I like the pic that shows how you added the tie downs. That price for us is doable. Thanks
