    Anyone know of a decent trailer supplier that will fit 2 bikes and a jerry can etc???

    Also, a tow bar for my Kangoo??

    I'm already looking at trackbikes, but that will be next yr once i get a few trackdays under my belt.

    Got the bug good and proper.:D

    Oh dear, I have just sold my Erde 2 bike one for £325 and it was only 6 months old! Cost me nearly £650 but what a great trailer. One thing I would think about is the security of the bikes if you head to a trackday for a full weekend and end up having to leave the bikes on an open trailer in a hotel car park. It may well be worth looking at a box trailer. More expensive, but more secure and much more dry storage.

    Si,

    ERDE seem to be a good make & always fetch good money. Have you considered a foldaway; although I bet they are only available as singles.

    My experience of owning a 2 bike trailer is that is was a right pain in the ass; loading the bikes is a pain, security whilst staying away is a pain, driving speed limits are a pain, driving in bad weather is a pain, looking at it sat in the garden is a pain, moving it around is a pain....

    Basically mate, its a fcuking pain!; hire a van & split the costs between two :)

    That is exactly why I sold the trailer and have now bought a van. You could even split the cost of buying a van between the two of you.

    vans or box trailers are much better,more secure and stop your bike getting full of shit on the way to track,but ebay is as a good a place as any,theres always loads on there.

    Si , get a van and split it between you and Craig , ( if spare cash )
    Much better than a trailer , and if you park up at night
    bikes are out of sight ,
