| Tell kwhip this is what I want for Christmas... Saw this on Saturday at the track in Pahrump. What a setup. The front is a camper, and the back is a double-decker trailer that has EVERYTHING. The thing was new, spotless, and loaded. Filled with expensive Ducatis and whatnot. Even a little red scooter for the pits.
Unfortunately, bike #91 got wadded about 2 hours into the day... |

| Re: Tell kwhip this is what I want for Christmas... Have you guys seen the campers that has trailer space in the back? It's like half camper, half trailer. I can't find a picture but we saw one at Barber. It was pretty cool. |

| Re: Tell kwhip this is what I want for Christmas... Yep, the trailer versions of the toy haulers are everywhere here, too.
HUGE with the ATV / dirt bike market.
I like the FunMover motorhomes better myself, but the wife likes the bedroom in the back instead of a garage. |

| Re: Tell kwhip this is what I want for Christmas... it's a freightliner  . unless its like the 1 tractor we have at work (the others are all Internationals). its newer, 06 I think. drives really nice. haven't drove any of the frightliner straight trucks we have but I've been told they struggle uphills and most barely do 65mph and they are new also.
otherwise that thing is really sweet. |

| Re: Tell kwhip this is what I want for Christmas... Well, no f&89ing wonder, no one commented about my puny lame trailer.
You guys are all into the major money. I'm hacking along here with nickels at a $100 ante poker game, for goodness sake.  |

| Re: Tell kwhip this is what I want for Christmas... If the big-rig is too much for the wallet maybe the small pickup will do if you only want to haul one bike. |

that's part of what I mean. everything associated with that big ass truck just to haul that 1 bike. a half ton would do a better job really. we aren't all abtech after all. |

| Re: Tell kwhip this is what I want for Christmas... It wasn't just for the one bike. There were at least five of them in there. They'd already unloaded it when I took the picture. |
