My wife & I went & borrowed the trailer from the bike shop, normally, $30.00/day rental, he let me take it to Houston for $20.00/day last year. Pulled the seat & tank & left side cover & the electronics under it. Rounded up a cinder block & folded the carpet padding( foam) I had taken with me on top of the block. Layed the bike over( actually, had to stand the block up some to get the frame on top of it, then dropped them over together).I had already loosened the axle nut till it was handy & it was set to slide out on the exhaust side. It comes apart nicely laying over like that, I was surprised. It even went back easily, very easy, in fact. I think having it blocked up on the cinderblock made a big difference. It was threatening rain, sprinkled lightly, just enough to help find a higher gear.But,.., Here's the kicker. I bought the tire from this guy & paid $30.00 to have it mounted & balanced, even tho I bought it from him, which really didnt sit all that well with me at the time, But, he dod Loan the trailer, & sold me a tube for just shy of $16.00( Yikes!) but, charged no labor to install that tube. I paid with a $20.00 & told them to put the rest in their shop's coffeee fund. All in all, I spent around $10.00 for tiedowns & $20.00 for the fixin job. The fix-a-flat wasnt paid for by me AND to be fair, wasnt FixaFlat brand. Was some el cheapo I wouldnt have bought, but I wasnt there, so,, grrrr, owell,, the deal is done, it went well. AND I had a Nice Ride home, after I put gas in it, which, By The Way, the little bit of gas I put in today cost more than what it cost me to FILL My 62 Chebby up!
