Hauling track bike
Ok, quick question. What is an inexpensive trailer that I can get to tow my bike to the track? I've seen "bikelug" trailer, and that seems pretty inexpensive. Any other recommendations for a starter trailer?
I would try HarborFreight, they have inexpensive trailers. I can't speek for the quality, but the prices are good.

I think pickup truck or cargo vanis cheapest. All U need is ramp and straps. I recommend ratchet type straps. If you have neither, you can rent a moving van.
this is my inexpensive trailer i use. as well as about 5 other people i go to the track with. mine is set up for 1 bike, or 2 bikes. just have to drop in a 2nd wheel chock and strap it down. and sturdy for a 75mph 4hr freeway road trip to the track.

if you notice the dinky black caster wheels in the last pic./ i broke them. with the added weight of the E track, hardware, and wood, the added weight was to much for them. i went to home depot and bought some ball bearing swivel (450lb rating each) casters. wiht a little fanagling, they bolted right up. the trailer now moves effortlessly when folded up. not like before when the casters broke into pieces. lol

That trailer is ideal for the money and weight.
May order one tomorrow.
My 04 600 RR is going to be a track only bike.
And I have a 2000 Intrepid with 170+ k miles to pull it.
So...need something light, legal, and ticket proof...like a damn light...plate..flashing newon and strobe to highlight each.
Big sign that says, be a man, not a meter maid.
Going to the track, and do 200mph...LEGALLY!
**** off.
