Default trailer help

i'm thinking about buying a trailer for the upcoming rinding season. but i'm not sure what to look for. i think something around a 5 X 8 will be fine. but wood floor or wire? also what about the size of the tires? i plan on towing my bike to the mountains which is 2-3 hrs away.

I highly recommend this trailer because it is cheap and light enough that it can be towed by a car no problem. I have a 98 Pontiac Grand Prix and I towed by 600rr from Florida to Pennsylvania and then back last summer with no problems whatsoever. With a canyon dancer and 3 tie downs, the bike stayed put and didnt move a bit. I got the 4X7 trailer and was able to close the gate with the bike completely on the trailer. The gate was very handy for gettin the bike on and definately worth the extra money.

I'm looking at one of these trailers. http://www.motorsporttrailers.com/
They are about $1500, so I am going to see if I can buy a 5x10 trailer from my work , and add tire chocks for less.I only want to spend between $5-$800, actually.Are you buying a one bike trailer or two. If you are going to own one, you want to make sure it is versatile for the future.

The cool thing about the MS-1 trailer I linked above, is you can slide the ramp to the center of the trailerif you are only hauling one bike. That gives you better balance and tracking.
