The same thing happens in the car world.
I have two thoughts. Ok three.
1: of the people who trailer to outside events, the ones I respect, are the ones who will unload in the middle of every thing and then go park the tow rig.
2: trailers are for racecars or junk
3: if you see my ride on a trailer, its junk or someone stole it.
Now, where's my trailer.

I have trailered to NGW events when there has been the time crunch, and trailering gets me somewhere faster. Also, a couple of years ago right after my accident, I do not know if I could have done 4-500 mile days to get somewhere. But I do not hide the trailer

My 78 is not my choice to ride long distance. But it would be fun up there in the Hills.

Spent some time in the Black Hills last July, trailered my 1800 and my wife's Spider. Camped in our little RV and rode about 500 miles around the Sturgis area and another 400 or so up near the Minnesota North Dakota border. Didn't feel a bit guilty about using a trailer.
Bikes at present:
83 XL 600r with a 2004 XR650L engine
And a slightly worse for the wear BMW GS adventure bike awaiting repair
83 GL in process

And you shouldnt.
There are many legitimate reasons to use a trailer.
I was speaking tongue in cheek earlier. Mostly.
I really do have a low opinion of those who trailer then pretend ride or drive long distances to shows or gatherings.
But why not use an rv and a motorcycle on the same trip?

We have come to a nearly complete hijacking of this thread....

Well, seeing as I probably led you lot into hijacking temptation I feel compelled to try get everyone back on track.
