yes, it is aptly named chasing versy which he did quite well.

You ought to meet up with us at twisted sisters next weekend.

Being in california, that's why I bought a truck, too far to ride a savage across country.

The 5 hours between KY and NC on the interstate is not all that much fun on a motorcycle, and often when I leave it is late at night after a Council meeting and I don't arrive until 2 AM!

I prefer to do that traveling in my car...with the bike behind me in the trailer.  There is no shame in towing a bike to a riding event the way I see it.....and my trailer even gives me a place to sleep along the way!

The trailer I bought was used, it is a 5'x8' Challenger series built by Homesteader.  It was owned by a guy that hauled show rabbits all over the country, and that is why he had windows installed.  I am not sure how expensive they are new - I paid $ 800 for it and I spent about $ 200 on the epoxy bed liner for the floor, paint, and LED lights to replace the ones that had stopped working.

I don't know about your area - but in this area there are a lot of these small trailer for sale used.  Folks buy them to haul band equipment, churches and schools buy them, small contractors buy them....and then they either don't need them any more or they outgrow the smaller ones and get bigger ones.  This one is perfect for the Savage and my small car - the trailer is 48" tall inside and you only need to remove the mirrors before loading eh Savage inside.  I have the bike on the left side, and I sleep on the right side.

If you have a bigger car/truck and a V-6, you could get a bigger trailer and a more comfortable bed - but this small trailer is perfect for my 4 cylinder car and my mileage drops from 30 mpg to 25 mpg when hauling the trailer and a bike.

I guess that's another way to do it. The ride lasts longer, so that's nice. And the thumper does sound cheery. Good to see you guys getting let past by the slower ones. Crap that road's crowded though.

That's exactly right, the Dragon is far more intimidating in person than on video, and the posted limit is 30 mph
I pull over, and i don't pregnant dog about folks passing me (in fact I wish AL of the faster ones would just pass, safely, and not ride my tail, that's not cool)
My negative reaction was to the entitled attitude of the rider in the video, and the idea that others owed it to him to move
'It's a public road, not a racetrack, and while I agree it is more polite to get out of the way, there isn't a requirement to
as to Harley Rider's reaction to being passed, you should see them when they get passed by a scooter
