$500 will get you a road legal one, but only just. Spend around $800 and you can get a tidy road legal model.

i also resent the comment about the snow

I bought a 7x4 briford lightweight for $1100 new[plus reg].Nothing flash, but NOT a cheap chinese POS. Owned it 10 months so far and it gets used so often-track bike to track, bucket to timaru, dirt bike to waimak-bike to mechanic....and even a few household tasks!! For me, a non dedicated bike trailer is working very well.

Was it one of those "fell off the back of a truck" kind of deals?

They seem to be pretty cheap overseas but I can't see any on trademe. One NZ site does something similar but much larger, with tail lights/indicators etc but it costs $800 which is well outside my budget.
