When you have to park the first one you just unload the second bike and keep on going.

Could be good fun or it could be a huge headache. I'm leaning towards the latter

Interesting but would rather ride my Suzuki DR650 or a KLR like yours without trailer then any other bike with trailer.

I could see it. Years ago there was a guy around here toting a canoe behind a ujm. I saw a trackbike pulled buy a Goldwing in Daytona one year. Any info on the rig in the pic?

Saw a guy not long ago who had a mountain bicycle hung vertically on the back of something on two wheels. I was so shocked I didn't register what the motorcycle was. I guess he was going to a RTR (Ride To Ride).

Kind of like this?

Not really. It was hung vertically with both wheels in place. That there picture is pretty interesting, though!

I'm interested in that lightweight motorcycle trailer (behind a car, not another bike) so I can take my Connie with me when I drive the car back and forth.  Can anyone advise?

There was a guy who lived in NYC a while back that had a fold-up (bag) trailer he kept in his apartment that (if I remember correctly) towed a moped behind his C-10 for some reason.  I'm sure you could tow a light-weight dirtbike or DS if you really wanted to.  Just consider the overall weight.  That looks to be a super light weight trailer (custom built?).  Look at the amount of gear on the bike.  Notice the boot storage on the DS?

I would think you would have to be really careful unloading so you don't knock the tow vehicle over.

I've thought about towing my KLX 250 behind my Voyager.  Would be nice, but would probably be better to tow the little dual sport behind my Solstice.

Silly yuppies. Trailers are for boats.

Because they don't even feel the bike back there.
