Topic: Cool trailer

[Trevor from Warragul]

Saw this on a walk around the local roads.  I thought it was a pretty cool job of re-purposing!

 When I was a kid we had one that was made from an small army truck. Canvass top and all. I thought it was cool as heck.
We were playing hide and seek, I jumped in it and as my eyes adjusted to the dark I could see I was in a garden spider hotel. I mean hundreds of them. That's the first thing that came to mind 60 years later. L0L! BTW, I was it.

A long time ago, I repurposed my dads old/unused boat trailer, and made it into a trailer for my dirt bike. It was a simple trailer, centerbeam + wheels/axle on a triangle frame. I moved the triangle frame forward a couple feet, shortened the centerbeam, kept the bow brace/winch support for a front wheel chock, added 2 eye bolts for the ratchet straps. The centerbeam was the right width and had a ridges to center the keel which also made a good tire channel.
  That trailer served me very well for 10 years, hauling my dirtbike around the state. I rescued my pals bikes a few times. Loaned to my pals dad who took it to Colorado several times with his CB500 aboard.
 My 750 never went on, I didn’t have a ramp. I could lift the dirtbike and load it by myself. I’m certain I couldn’t put my 750 on under any circumstances, but I never needed to.
 I have been contemplating that a jet ski trailer might be reworked into a motorcycle trailer.

I made a trailer from a free late 60's travel trailer. It has a 4500lb axle, a 12' x 7' deck, a winch mount, sturdy railings and it's quiet. No banging every time it hits a bump.
