Was it anyone on here that followed me on this run this afternoon? I was out on the GSX1400 so you would not necessarily have recognised me as a GTR forum member.

Enjoyed the ride though, I hope I was not slowing whoever he was down.

That might of been me ,if my memory is ok

Yesterday (Bank Holiday Monday) I was heading for the ferry across Poole Harbour. On the Swanage side (well, Studland to be precise) on the long road that ends at the ferry crossing (Ferry Road, amazingly) I spotted a '65 plate GTR in grey with some weird homemade single-wheel leaning-trailer contraption!

Part of me thinks "kudos for the building that" and the rest of me thinks "are you completely insane? How safe is that at speed? If you want a bike with a trailer buy a Gold Wing..."

Cheers

Why would you think a GTR is somehow less capable of towing a trailer than a Goldwing?

I'm sure it's just as capable (if not more so) of towing a trailer as a Goldwing, if we're talking about a standard trailer with 2 wheels touching the tarmac. The trailer I saw was a bit "Mad Max", that was all.

Plus I do believe that the handbook states the GTR should not be used to tow a trailer.

So what is it about a single wheel that bothers you so?

Physics. I first spotted this combo with the bike parked on its side stand. The trailer was leaning at a steeper angle than the bike. It then passed me later, and the term "unsafe" would be an understatement. Like I said, if the owner wanted to go a bit Mad Max in his shed with some angle iron, a moped wheel and a welder, then good for him. Maybe a 56 litre top box would be slightly more sensible.
