        This journey is mainly about 'breaking the boredom' ,meeting new people and enjoying being on the road again. I need adventure,being robbed in Nevada was no picnic., but I got through that. I'll post pictures of the bicycle I began the trip with and the GS450T & trailer with the help of member 'redman' before I leave soon.

          Look forward to the pictures. Have you planned you route west yet? If I'm in town, you've got a place for the night here in far far NorCal.

            Thanks
            Because of pulling the trailer with the 450 and how strange that may look to some officers, etc.. I plan to stick to I80 the whole way and exit from there when needed.

              Bike and trailer might look something like this.

                With the exception being the trailer is a folding Harbor Freight 4x8.

                    That is pretty big for a 450 to drag around, especially up hill.

                      I believe he's aware of most of the pitfalls involved in towing the bike and trailer behind that 450.

                      I tried to make the hitch as rigid as I could in order to minimize any possible sway. The only additional thing I would suggest he do that I haven't mentioned thus far is that he considers lying the CB125 on it's side drained of all possible fluids. That would reduce CG and possible swaying effects.

                        The trailer weighs exactly 260 lbs and the CB125s is 200lbs.

                              I took it back off for just now, it fits.
                              I'll get some pictures sent to 'redman' shortly.
