Its going to be a trailer

[Peppadog]

I put a deposit down for a CMF transverse motorcycle trailer yesterday. I have a Triumph Bonneville, which I will probably change for a scooter.
A rack would have been my ideal, but the long overhang on my Hymer makes it very marginal for the back axle weight limit. Even with a 125 Scooter.
It’ll be fun reversing such a short trailer. But I have two cameras, high up and next the the number plate to watch it.

I have threads found in this section to thank for leading me down this route. If it proves right or wrong, thanks to all.

There’s one of those trailers for sale in classifieds.

I use an Armitage transverse trailer but I don't reverse with it except in a generally straight line. The technique seems to be go very slow and watch the position of the trailer very carefully.
I use it for a Suzuki GSR600 and a Suzuki Burgman 400 maxi scooter.

Thanks Phil. Just found it, but I think I will go for the new one based on price difference and how local they are to me.

I agree, as the saying goes, more haste, less speed.
A reversing camera is recommended as well. If the trailer starts going in a direction that you don't want, stop, go forward to straighten up and then start again.

I saw a sideways trailer on a French van that was connected to the van by two tow balls. The wheels were basically very large casters. When reversing it just went where the driver sent the back of the motorhome. I don’t know what make it was but it did look a very simple solution.
