    Uni Go trailers

    I, along with my now deceased son, helped develop the Uni Go bike trailers
    We made the first 3x molds & then the first run of 43x UniGo bodies/lids & rear cowls
    My wife & I did a North Island tour a couple of years back on our Guzzi to the 20th anniversary Sidecar Owners Rally @ Waitomo
    Man, we were loaded up,"took everything but the kitchen sink" as the saying goes
    Apart from the extra fuel used, lots more weight when balancing/doing the occasional U turn & longer stopping distances etc I hardly knew it was there.
    The only times it reminded me were when it went into big road dips & it gave a bit of a jerk & when spotting speed limit signs,slow down to 90k!!!
    We covered over 2000 miles those 10 days & apart from a broken throttle cable ,had a virtually trouble free trip
    I went away a sceptic & returned a believer

    Buy a car, you obviously have too much gear. Why on earth having found the freedom of a bike do you want to hinder it with the extra weight?

    If you are going on a rally but want to tour later - courier the tent etc home from the next motel you stay at. $3500 will help you buy some decent gear (small light tent, Givi soft or hard luggage, tank bag) and upgrade to a bike that can carry it to boot.

    Crumbs, next it will be sidecars, sheesh!
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    I'm trying to see if these are still available. The reason I need one is to carry around the gear I need to make a living (TO ANSWER THE PREVIOUS QUERY). Can anybody give me the internal dimensions, Size of the hatch and whether I can get one in NZ?
