    I dont mean to cheap out on it. But with the purchase of the bike and new tires and a front stand and hopefully ~10 track days this season AND the trailer, I'm working on the thinnest of budgets. I need something to get me to and from those days this year. If it can work for 10 days this season, maybe next season I can upgrade. I also live downtown and mostly have zero storage space, so the fold-up option will be nice for me to try and squeeze into my parking space.

    I have a Honda Element and just saw that for sale post of the guy that can tuck his bike into his Element. I may try that! But the wife and the dog plan to come along a few times, so I will need a trailer eventually.

    Jacksondee's trailer build. pretty good build here.

    As someone who is space AND budget limited, this will likely be the route i take as well. i'm also fond of the customization aspect of it.

    There's some pretty awesome write-ups on those harbor freight folding trailers. For the money, you're basically buying an axle with suspension, a frame thats square enough, and a tongue. its a pretty good start to a track day trailer.

    i bought my HF trailer 4 years ago, thinking if I get a couple years worth of use out of this, that I've got my worth out of it. Its still going strong

    Been using my HF trailer since 2009. Hauled bikes all over the SE and MW. Completely worth the money.

    Mine is a Tractor Supply 5x8 landscape with pressure treated 2x6 for the bed....I still use a HF wheel-chock but with a canyon dancer bar hold down and trailer d-rings it is solid. Over 2 years now and no issues.

    Trailer was $600 new
