Track Day Trailer Suggestions

Unread postby 007 » Mon Dec 04, 2017 11:45 pm

For lack of better sense, I've decided to get a dedicated track bike and will need an enclosed trailer to serve as both its home (since I don't have a garage and can't really build one because of my neighborhood association) and mode of transportation to and from the track. I would prefer one of those fancy lightweight models with the pop up roof, but they cost like $8,000. I may save that much in gas compaired with a slightly heavier model over time, but still can't justify the cost now. An aluminum Arising (soft V-nose) 6'x12' from Leonard is $2,799. Thoughts? Anybody have one for sale?

I don’t have anything on the trailer but am pleased you are taking knee dragging to the track. [THUMBS UP SIGN]

I know a guy who passed away a few months ago whose Widow may have a trailer and more that you are seeking. Give me a day or two to inquire.

I'm sure the chassis is Chinese-made for that price but still....

I rarely drag my knee on the street with exception to a few select corners. Most of them are on the Snake, but it's definitely not every corner. I didn't put it down much at all on the trip with the VFR guys. PR4s don't stick.

Here's that trailer website.

Looks like the mfgr is SGAC. A search turns up a bunch of dealers. All quite cheap. But should be perfect for your use since its mainly a storage box on wheels, not used all the time like a rental U-haul.
