I just got back from my trip to Montana - 4000 miles without a problem. I went thru a South Dakota storm with 60 mph winds - no problem. I traveled at 70 mph all the way; I greased bearings before my return. Thanks for you help and building such a solid product.

PS - I am probably going to move up to a BMWR1200 RT - I assume the trailer can handle that bike also.

• Rod,
To date I have over 20,000 miles on my Stinger trailer with no major problems. The trailer carries a heavy C90T Boulevard, weight is 875 Lbs for the bike alone. So far two trips to the East coast, one to OCC in New York state and the other to SW Florida on Interstate 10 via LA (I went in the winter).
To store the trailer in my garage folded, I stand it up so it doesn't require much room. The wheel bearings were repacked (easy to do with over-the-counter grease gun) using the fitting under the small wheel bearing cap. Last year I broke a tail light lens and bulb and was easily replaced with off-the-shelf parts; that's a very good thing. No electrical issues at all; no tracking issues. Gas mileage on my Tuscon dropped 1 MPG from 22 to 21 while towing. I use the locked hitching devices to lessen my concern while in Motels overnight.

• Now, I like to wait until I've found the best of a product category, and buy that superlative product, in the belief that quality pays for itself in total cost of ownership and in personal satisfaction. So a search for "the best trailer" was in order.

It turns out that there are tons of bike trailer options, ranging from $200 Harbor Freight generic utility trailers that require the creation of your own plywood floorboards and tie down eyelets, to $2400 chrome Kendon dedicated multi-bike haulers.

But then I saw the Stinger. Cool. The reviews that I could find online (Thunder Press, American Rider, motorcycle.com) spoke highly of it. And a reader comment at the bottom of a webBikeWorld review of another folding trailer was positive about the Stinger, too.

• Rod,
I very much appreciate your personal assistance throughout my decision to purchase the Stinger. Towed an Ultra Classic from Jacksonville to Northern Virginia with a Hyundai Vera Cruz SUV. Had it not been for the windshield of the bike in my rear view mirror, would not have known I was towing anything...great stability even at 70 mph at times to adjust to traffic patterns. This is a winner an I recommend it highly.

• Rod,
I wanted to write and tell you how much I like the trailer. I've actually used it helping friends as often as for myself. It sits uno btrusively in the corner of my garage until needed... then it springs into action like a super-hero. Your method of attachment to the draw bar is ideal, giving the trailer great stability. It's so well made. I wish I would have bought one a long time ago.

• Rod,
We spent months researching the internet for a motorcycle trailer and eventually settled on a Stinger Trailer. I found the site very informative, with specifications, a picture gallery, video and purchasing information. What the Stinger Trailer offered was exactly what we were looking for. Quality product, light weight, ease of use with loading, unloading, folding capability for compact storage and especially the price for what you get. Travelling this Summer we encountered all kinds of road and highway surfaces and varying weather conditions. The Stinger Trailer tracked beautifully behind our motor home and drew a lot of interest. Pulling our scoot behind was not even noticeable even at highway speeds. We have and will continue to recommend the Stinger Trailer. Thank you Rod for an excellent product!

• Rod,
It is very rare, for me anyway, to have my expectations of a product so easily surpassed.
The Stinger trailer performed perfectly and tracked without any drama whatsoever behind my RV for 1200 miles, first trip out. I have a rear facing camera on the RV which allowed me to view the trailer and bike at all times. My BMW R1200R rode so smoothly on the trailer that I had to wonder why all trailers did not work this well.
I maintained 55 to 65 mph most of the time, occasionally going up to 70 mph for passing. I had hot weather, cold weather, rain, wind and winding roads.
The quality of the trailer is excellent, and the design is very clever. The ease at which it folds into itself for storage is awesome. The loading and unloading of the bike by one person is simple and quick. Based on my first trip I see nothing that could be improved upon, thanks for a great product at a really fair price.
Randal.

• Rod,
"I took the rig for a test run on Sunday with my 03 Victory Classic Cruiser and was pleased with the way it handled. I even had the opportunity to experience some 30 mph winds and it never strayed from its track.

I was very pleased with the Da'Lan hitch I purchased. It was much better that the Draw-Tite brand I thought I was going to end up with. As you can view from the pictures, it tucks very neatly under the car and still allows full use of the tow hook. Draw-Tite uses the hook as one of the mounting points which also places the entire hitch well out the back of the car."

• "I have a Stinger Trailer. I don’t have room to store a trailer in my front yard or garage, so I loved the Stinger the first time I saw it. I tow an Electra Glide when I go out of state for a ride, and when I get home I simply fold up the trailer and roll it into the back yard. Keep up the good work!"
