    Yea! I knew I saw it B4. Nice setup Frank. I LIKE IT. It's nice and compact. I suppose it can be stored vertically, too.

    If you don't want to build your own, check out the magazines dedicated to "Bagger" motorcycles and trikes. They make some decent looking trailers for them.

    How bad does it bounce around? :huh:

    A buddy of mine has one of those with home made sides for hauling yard debris to the landfill. He ended up changing the tail light bulbs to LED units that he bought at a truck stop because the regular bulbs were being bounced to death (constantly breaking the filaments).
