Now then fellas, where's the best place to look for one? Not looking to spend a fortune but average quality, some of the ebay ones look a tad 'naff' lol. Any ideas?

You want a fold up trailer, or a normal one?

Google's usually a good place to start.

I've got an Erde single bike trailer, bottom one here: https://www.firsttrailers.co.uk/motorcycle-trailers.html

It's well built, very strong and lots of places for straps to hold to. Only downsides is it's quite large and takes a fair amount of space up in the garage. I think it cost £350

I had a mate who had the same storage problem, he ended up standing it on its side on a skateboard and putting it in the garage like that Very Happy

ah, skateboard! I'd not thought of that Laughing I normally just wheel it on one wheel like you'd wheelie a car, but that sounds much better Very Happy

It is stood on it's side at the moment so doesn't take up much space, I have some girders in the roof of my garage so I'm going to attempt to strap it up on the cieling.

Cool, that one looks very nifty, I always wonder if those one's are stong enough when I see them at trackdays. Does any of it flex at all? I might have to get one of those instead, this Erde one takes up a fair bit of room.

Doesn't flex a noticable amount. It hasn't ground out or anything, the only thing that annoys me is that the loop at the front is a little small, but for the money. Thumbs Up .

O and to mount the numberplate somewhere practical you need to remove a reflector, but that's easy.
