Double linked motorcycle trailer

[rommel]

I have a slide out motor cycle rack that I take an old Honda CB125 about on ,I would like to take my Velocette but the rack has a weight limit of 100kg so this precludes this and I don’t want a conventional trailer as I would be unable to see it when reversing. While in France this year we followed a motor home that was carrying a large motor cycle transversely on what looked to be a trailer, upon closer inspection I noticed it was attached to the tow bar with two hinged links spaced about a meter apart, the wheels of the trailer where small and had coil spring suspension .When the van went around bends the trailer wheels turned like castors, I did not see it reverse so don’t know if they revolve 180deg. Has anyone seen any thing like this or know who manufactures them?

strangely enough i think everybody that was away last winter sa it. it reversed very easily and pivoted on the wheels .yes they went round like a big supermarket trolley wheel .there is somewhere on the net abit about it and there was /is a company marketting /making them in uk. saw it on motor home fun back months ago .try googling . will try and find it. looked very good . not so sure about what hapens if you get a puncture. i do know i dont know i have one on my trailer till the tyre drops to bits and you see bits flying off. .cheers alan.

trailer solutions.....

Get one of those cycle flags u see- usually on kiddies bikes and stick it on -I find it really helps reversing when I cant see trailer but u could stick any sort of pole or whatever -yea yea i'll stop here as any further comments -suggestions about sticking poles and Herself wot now guides our site's destinies would surely disapprove ....
meantime-anyone find DAT trailer and/or site? there's also a foldable trailer I remember such a site. And yea ,Alan u right but I've found the hard way it pays to carry a spare wheel doesnt really have to be exactly right s long as it will get u to a tyre shop
