get yourself a photobucket account, it's free, then upload your pictures onto photobucket, once uploaded, click on the picture you wish to use, them you'll have 4 options on the right hand side, click on the bottom one, you will see the word copy.
then paste the url onto the forum post, and once you've posted it will appear on the thread.... :thumbup:

Looks practical - what do you carry in the trailer?

Wow that looks so much better than the 2 wheel efforts. I bet it wheelies though doesn't it?

I normally fill it with the Mrs shoe's :? and all the camping gear so the weights not on the bike it carries about 150kgm plus there's a 12v battery which charges from the bike for phone charging and camping lights etc. along with 5lts of fuel. only time it wheelie's is when I ask it to all the weight is carried through the rear axle so no pull down on the back of the bike (until I fill the rack up)

Seems a great touring solution. Only disadvantage wouldn't want to forget all about it and try filtering….

no problem with filtering through traffic the trailer is 1 inch (25mm) thinner than the bike and last time out I travelled down the m6 mid afternoon straight through traffic & roadwork's
