Er, sixty on Dual cabbageways, 50 on single .
Yes. My mistook. It's 50 on single cabbageways.
Slower is better with an expensive bike on a trailer surrounded with kn0bheads on a fast road tho'.

It's easier to reverse a 40ft tri axle trailer than a 4ft single axle trailer

Hi Mike - agree with Alan - smaller single triailer is easier to manhandle if on your own. I've used a trailer and a van - prefer the van to be honest. Anyway - seriously think about one of these - ive used in a van and trailer - fantastic - roll the bike into it - it grips the front wheel and allows you to go round and tie the bike down on your own.

I’ve always found the three bike trailer to be best. If your transporting one bike it goes in the middle, two bikes the outer two tracks and three bikes all three that way it’s always balanced. It’s quite scary watching a gold wing on the outer track of a two bike trailer at 60mph on the motorway :shock:
If you envisage carrying more than three bikes get a big feck off van :lol:
They're rubbish them Jap bikes lad they won't last five minutes! you want to get yourself a nice Royal Enfield!
A quote from my old dad 8-)

I started out with nothing and I’ve got most of it left!
