Back in the Saddle Again

Hey there motobuddies,

Well, I'm back in the saddle after a little sabbatical and all I can say is... it's good to be here again! I never left the world of motorcycles, trailers and traveling... just took some time off to take care of some personal and professional issues which are all thankfully doing well now.

My comments today (not surprisingly) are going to be about the business of motorcycle trailers. They are absolutely selling like gangbusters and I am seeing them every where I go these days. My wife and I did some traveling over the 4th of July holiday and couldn't believe the number of trailers we saw on the road. There must have been a lot of rallies and motorcycle gatherings as we saw lots of large groups all pulling trailers. And the size of the trailers we saw were absolutely amazing. Some of these must have been tent trailers these guys were pulling, because they were as large as something you might see behind a car! Not my cup of tea, mind you, but I do admire the ingenuity these guys (and gals) employ when it comes to traveling on their bikes.

As you already know if you're reading this, I am Trekker Trailer man myself and find that to be the ultimate size and shape for my kind of traveling. I know there are a lot of products out there, and some are of very high quality, but I have yet to see a unit as beautifully designed and engineered as the Trekker. Now you might think I'm just saying that because I'm affiliated with the Trekker people, but I want you to know that I sought them out because I wanted the absolute best trailer I could find. And that, to me, meant one that worked very well but also "looked" the way I wanted it to look. I'm all about function, but never at the complete expense of style. So when I was shopping for a trailer I looked at all of them. The high end and the lower end... and I have to tell you there was never any contest in my mind. Especially after I talked to the people there and found out how helpful and supportive they were.

As a matter of fact, initially I had some issues with wiring when I first got the trailer and naturally assumed that the problem was with the trailer, never my trusted Harley. Well, they stood by me the whole way and helped me figure out (eventually) that the real problem was with the wiring harness I had purchased to go with my removable hitch. Never once did they say "hey, that's not our problem"... they just kept suggesting things to try and even sent me some new wiring parts to help me trouble-shoot the problem.

The bottom line is that the Trekker Trailer is a great motorcycle (and/or sports car) trailer and one that should be seriously considered if you're in the market for a stylish (as opposed to ugly) trailer that does everything right. They are not the least expensive on the market, but I can safely say that they are worth every penny.

SO... if you think that I am writing this blog because I work for Trekker Trailer, you're only half right. I work for Trekker Trailer because I asked them if they could use me and they said yes. I mean, how often do you buy a product and like it so much that you want to go to work for the company? Never before this, as far as I can remember. I will never promote anything that I don't completely believe in... so believe this. The Trekker is one of the finest motorcycle and sports car trailers on the road. Don't take my word for it. Find out where you can see one and try it out. You will not be disappointed.

We are currently adding dealer/distributors all over the country, so if you're an avid motorcyclist, traveler or just like cool things. Call us and we'll see if we can't find a job for you too. It's a great product and the popularity of trailers is growing a lot faster than your stock portfolio.

Gotta run. Ride safe and I'll see you on the road!
