CT/Trailering?

[BEER30]

Haven't taken the time to read all the Darkside threads , but has anyone pulled a trailer while having a CT on their scoot ?
How does it handle flat land , cornering , twisties , etc. ? Just curious .

I don't know of anyone who's pulled a trailer yet. My bike has a receiver on it but I don't have a tongue for it. I think Maineac has a trailer. Maybe he can throw a couple of bags of dog food in the trailer and take it for a spin.

hi beer
i pulled my trailer to the 08 international rally. i had it loaded to the gunwalls and straped more on top. 4,438 miles there and back from houston. i have a swevel hitch on the trailer. i now have over 10,000 miles on the c/t. the only problem i noticed when pulling the trailer, was when a 18-wheeler was passing or when i was passing them. the trailer started wis-washing( swing side to side ) not bad just a little. but would settle down when ever i passed or the big rig passed me, and it didn't happen every time. but i don't feel the c/t had any thing to do with it. outside of that the trailer would pull great at or above posted speeds. even with a down pour outside of knoxville,tenn never had a problem with traction. i'am running 34psi in the c/t. a couple of weeks ago i rode with jb-lonestarmedic to check out some sites for the texas stamped. when i got back home i checked my tire pressures. the c/t had 26psi and the front was 30psi. i had not checked my air pressures since before i left for the 08 int. rallythe 28th of june. i for one am well pleased with my decision to cross over to the darkside. feel free to contact me any time. best reguards

Gunboat , thanks for the info. . I not really interested in placing a CT on my scoot . I was just curious if anyone has popped the question or discussed the issue . As I consider all here as family , I am not here to argue the issue over CT's on scoots . Just to bring up the subject for the unknown at this time .
The BEERCART gets the weaves and wobbles occasionally when the big trucks pass by , but hardly noticeable in fill to me .Usually someone has to tell me it's weaving . :rotf:
