Pasta Burner Posted January 19, 2022 Share #1 Posted January 19, 2022 So last year I reassembled my old bunk trailer thinking I might use it to take the bike with us on family vacations, which still might happen. The other day I got to thinking about using the trailer to take the canoe with on motorcycle trips. The trailer was from a Hobie 16’ so it has a long tongue.

Freebird Posted January 19, 2022 Share #2 Posted January 19, 2022 I’ve never done it but have seen it done. Weight would certainly be less than a motorcycle camper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saddlebum Posted January 19, 2022 Share #3 Posted January 19, 2022 I have seen it done as well and had thought for years I might give it a shot as well but never got around to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpencerPJ Posted January 19, 2022 Share #4 Posted January 19, 2022 I sure wouldn't do it in windy conditions 😏 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcarl Posted January 19, 2022 Share #5 Posted January 19, 2022 Another issue, along with the wind factor, would be the length factor: Drivers sees MC, wait for it to pass but never even considers the length of the trailer. Might be a sad day for the canoe and anything attached to it, even if the other driver only caught the last 2" of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May have to borrow an idea from the trucking industry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even did some research about transporting it upright instead of the traditional upside down. Not many people do it for various reasons, but it’s a possibility.
