I am setting up for the Perth agm and am heading down to Melbourne within a month to pick up a trailer to put behind the Boulevard or trike. The white trailer I had behind the trike at the last agm I have sold as to heavy for a bike to pull (no point having two trailers). Would be great to get together and brain storm good set ups for both trailers since both in Canberra .

[sargent]

Yes definately.
Diesel has footage I believe of my trailer from the Middleton SA AGM.
Ideas on a Canb brainstorming session?

...... heading down to Melbourne within a month to pick up a trailer .....

If you coming through the outer NE suburbs and want to have a look at (or possibly tow) an Elite camper, I'm sure something could be arranged.

Thanks Sarge - I was going to send this link to Growly - but he has found it, I see.

Was extremely surprised at your mastery of towing, and your trailer's dexterity on our way to Middleton - particularly the G.O.R section. Thought we'd be pulling over all the time for some catch ups... uh uh!                     Never happened!


That sled was on rails!     


A great display of riding/towing thanks mate.   


Although I seem to remember you getting your first ever award in Middleton...   


Anything to do with towing?       


Thanks for sharing Rob.  Cheers, Diesel

Thanks all.  Been thinking about it , Dave may need to cut back on his make up bag for the WA trip , but otherwise it will be big enough. Will get in contact with you when I have the trailer in Canberra.
