You are in the right place for pull behind motorcycle trailers and other trailer accessories for bikers. I’m really excited to start sharing my years of experience trailering, tips and trips to go on with your trailer, and even a few accidents and how to avoid them. 

To get things started off, I want to share with you a few quick tips for your next motorcycle trip with your companion trailer in tow.

5 quick tips for pulling a trailer behind your motorcycle today.

1. Drop Test 

Hookup your trailer safety chains to the back of your bike and do a drop test. It’s better to know what is going to happen while standing still than going 70mph. If your trailer tongue (or any part of it) touches the ground - shorten up your chains until it doesn’t.

Why? even the most experience trailer pullers lose their coupling pins or just flat out forget to put them in. Go ahead and raise your hand if you have done this with your truck and trailer. My hand is raised too.

2. Pull in and Pull out

Huh? It can be easy to forget the you’ve got a trailer behind you. And wanting to park in a crowded area is easier to do on a bike than when you are in a cage (car for those that do not speak Biker). But when you have a trailer behind you, you are going to want to park in a spot that you can pull into - and then be able to pull straight out of. Don’t try and back that bike up with a trailer attached. Just don’t.

3. Pack your trailer evenly

Pack that weight even side to side and front to back. Or the road will unpack it for you. Too much weight in the rear and your trailer tongue will lift up on your bikes rear tire. Too much weight in the front on the tongue and your shocks will become stressed could bottom out on any bumps.

4. Tools

Bring some good tools and some quick fix-a-flat. No that you have a few more cubic inches of storage space you can bring a few tools that you will actually want to use - and not that cheapo tool roll that came in your bike from the dealer. Those do the job, but now you can upgrade your set and save your knuckles.

5. Have Fun!

Plan a loooong trip and campout underneath the stars. Ride somewhere that was previously just out of your reach, now that you can bring camping supplies, tents, food, and basicall whatever you want - whenever you want. 

Ride Safe and Happy Trailering!
