    I've got a GSXR 750 and R6 in my 6x12 trailer. Considering a zuma 50 for a pitbike. Looking at specs and measuring in the trailer, it looks like I could make all 3 fit. Anyone actually doing this that could confirm there's room?

    What do you do with frame and engine remains?

    I've been successfully selling my '01 F4i part by part on Ebay. I'm getting down to the frame and engine block very quickly. Where do you guys take the leftovers in IL? Junk yard? Are there issues with the frame if you don't have the title?

    Who else has Ford Edge or similar SUV pulling a trailer?

    I've been doing the Harbor Freight Express 5x8 open trailer for the last three years. I'm ready to upgrade to an enclosed trailer. I have a 2" hitch and the vehicle can tow 3500 with my 6cyl FWD. So, I was thinking a 6x10 sounds about right for the job. UHaul doesn't rent a 6x10, otherwise...

    Does this prove Shoei is inferior to Arai?

    While participating in the BigMeanie 2009 Craptacular while at Barber on Sunday, I had a get off between T9 & 10 after making my first ever sprocket change from 48 to 46 Sunday morning.
