Convince me slowplay!

I cant even find myself a nice enuff looking trailer facrissakes!!! Everytime i see one i think to meself 'cheap sh1te'

Ok, Ive had mine on there in excess of ***mph with both the 200 and 520.

I've used it as well as towing a trailor with 2 other bikes on too with no problems.

I've never damaged the bike or car and have even towed other cars out muddy fields with the freelander while the bikes been on the back

And if you want a nice trailer...


theres a folding one on autowbars site

Not sure where u are but there is a really good tow bar place in Birmingham on kingstanding road. Don't ask me what it's called now but I could walk down the road and find the number in the morning.
