    I know this might upset a few BUT has anyone ever towed a trailer with their Blade???
    I love the power and thrill of the Blade and so does the Mrs but camping is a no go if I want to take the bike so was thinking of making a small trailer to tow my gear to and from camping. It would be detachable when we get there for so then we got the fun bike to play on.
    Commence the slagging off.....GO.:D

    Good God man...

    However, there's a few fabricators on here that could knock you one up i'm sure.

    I just put my bike on a trailer. Got no interest in riding 100s of miles on motorways. I carry all my gear in the car and unload the bike off the trailer at the campsite. Sorted !!!

    I love the idea mate!
    I personally hate driving a bloody car, so I can see why you'd want to leave the cage behind and take the steed.
    No idea what it would ride like though

    I have a Moto-Lug trailer! It's brilliant as it just folds down and goes in the boot! Well worth a look.

    The only bikes I've ever seen towing a trailer are Goldwings and a mate's Hayabusa. I wouldn't have thought a lightweight , road rocket would be suitable for towing. The sideways forces on the towbar when braking could be a problem?

    Hitch it up to a push bike first to see how it reacts to corners and braking etc
