Talk:Motorcycle trailer

Motorcycle Trailer.com

Just to be clear: I have absolutely no affiliation with Motorcycle Trailer.com. I wanted a reference for the claim that the term is used in both ways, and tt is simply the first site I found when I googled the term. If anyone can find a non-commercial reference, please supply it. -AndrewDressel 16:38, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

That was quick

Jeff, you're really on the ball. -AndrewDressel 16:56, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Frightening, isn't it? Don't ask me for a cite on the La Crosse, WI, Gold Wing fatality. Can't provide it and am going from memory. It was about 8 years ago. Jeff dean 17:08, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Let's put it here then. "For example, a Gold Wing rider and his passenger in Wisconsin died when a wheel on their trailer blew out, causing the motorcycle to crash. In spite of this, a significant minority of motorcyclists choose to tow trailers." I don't think it belongs in the article any more than mention of some fatality caused by a front tire blowout (which must have occured sometime somewhere) belongs in the Gold Wing article. -AndrewDressel 18:04, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Wikify tag

I've removed the Wikify tag added by STBot because, without any particular instances indentified, I believe it simply does not apply. The article contains appropriate wikilinks, references, sections, tone, etc. -AndrewDressel 14:30, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Single-wheel motorcycle trailers

Maybe someone will write something about trailers for being pulled by motorcycles. Some of them has only one wheel. How are they attached so they doesn't overturn? -- 83.26.111.123 (talk) 13:06, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

Someone did add a paragraph about Czech-built PAV trailers with a single wheel. I cleaned it up and added a note that they use a special coupler with only two degrees of freedom. They can pitch and yaw, but they can't roll relative to the towing vehicle, so they're forced to assume the same lean angle as the motorcycle or motor scooter. — Quicksilver^{T @} 15:43, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
