• Hi Rod, "How to Win Friends and Haul Motorcycles" •
Rod, • Testimonial
from Canadian buyer. • "I have had the Stinger about a year and have used it on several long trips. Its great and easy to load and unload. I can cruise on the highway 70 mph with no problem. Very stable. I do find that you need 8 straps to hold it securely. To load it, have the front wheel facing down hill and unload uphill. I also just stay on the side of the bike as I load or unload. I keep the kick stand up till the front wheel is in place. Also when unloading let the bike lean towards the kick stand and its trailer kick stand support. Thus release the right side first, but first make sure the kick stand support is in place or you will have a big surprise. I would certainly buy another." Roger Sachs • "I took my Hayabusa on the Stinger Trailer down to Myrtle Beach, SC from Laurel, MD for the BlackBikeWeek. If I didn't look in my rear view mirror, I wouldn't have even known that I was towing a trailer! It was flawless, even at 70MPH, because I did set my cruise control on my Jetta. Thanks once again for building such a wonderful trailer! It is a wonderful thing to have!" Ken Knuckles Laurel, MD • "Hi, I used your Stinger to go to Americade in Lake George, NY. Wow. I was able to clip along at 70-80 mph with no trouble. Didn't even know the bike was on the back of the car. First class trailer." Roger Sachs • Rod,  "I just completed a 3437 mile round trip to your neighborhood this past week. I came out to visit my brother who lives in Walnut Creek and ride the area with him and his buddies. The Stinger trailer performed flawlessly behind the New Beetle across the mountain passes and in the 30 mph cross winds. Regards," Jim D’Englere The Colony, TX • Rod, "I recently purchased a Stinger trailer to haul my Harley Ultra Classic from New Jersey to Yellowstone National Park, then on to Sturgis South Dakota for the 2005 rally and return trip home. I must say first off that I hate pulling any kind of trailer, but with the Stinger, you don't even know it's there. My wife didn't even mind driving. The ultimate test was through Yellowstone's East entrance where the road is under construction and consisting of dirt and gravel, loaded with bumps and turns. It Handled great. When I got to Sturgis, I folded up the trailer and parked the car & trailer in one parking spot as they were at a premium with all the other bulky box trailers present." Harvey Kenyon (New Jersey) • 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." Regards, Jim (Texas)
• Gents, "My wife and I just completed a 2400 mile round trip to Houston from Chicago. We trailed a BSA Thunderbolt down to Houston for my son with the new Stinger. The little trailer performed really well. My Land Rover Discovery has a rather high hitch so I bought a variable height hitch pin which allowed me to adjust the Stinger to about 12” from the ground at the hitch point. On the road it was difficult to know that I was actually trailing a bike at all! We took turns driving and my wife felt completely confident after just a mile or two. About 80 miles out of Houston we hit tremendous rain storms and high winds but the trailer remained completely stable and we were able to keep going when others were pulling over to the side of the road. After unloading the BSA I found that I was not quite able to squeeze the trailer into the Land Rover. However by removing the axle from the rail section (just four lock nuts) I was able to fit it in comfortably. Reassembly back in Chicago was easy (four new lock nuts). Overall I’m very impressed with the Stinger and certainly satisfied with my purchase. I will be perfectly happy to entrust the Stinger with my Vincent Black Shadow! Thanks for your timely delivery service and friendly sales advice. I will forward photos to you shortly." Best Regards Tim Holcroft • "I bought your trailer months ago in preparation for a vacation in Montana and you had to do some minor alterations to fit my 1800 Goldwing. We just returned today and I had to drop a line to you and let you know that the trailer was everything you said it was. It tracked behind my Windstar like it was welded to the fender. The bike rode very nice and I did not have any handling problems even in 35 MPH crosswinds in Montana. I would recommend your trailer to anyone who may be looking for a trailer. Thank you for your assistance." Bob Jones, Eureka, CA • "I recently purchased a Stinger trailer to tow my 2003 Harley Davidson Road King long distance. I chose the Stinger because of the exceptional engineering that was incorporated in the trailer. I also have limited storage space and the trailer takes up very little space in my garage." "I Took my first trip to New Mexico a distance of 2720 miles round trip.I reached speeds of 65 mph; the wind gusts were up to 45 miles per hour on I-40. I have had several utility trailers and I always saw them move from side to side, with the Stinger trailer the bike towed like it was welded to the rear of the vehicle. My gas mileage was the same mileage I expect when not towing the trailer. When I reached the hotel I unloaded the bike, folder the trailer and stored the trailer in the back of the Explorer, I had only to worry about securing the bike overnight." "The Stinger Trailer met or exceeded my every expectation, as does the customer service I have received from the company. Needless to say I am a Stinger trailer customer for life." Rod Purcell, Covina, California • "The folding Stinger Trailer is everything it is advertised to be. Ease of use, takes little floor space in the garage, simple one-man loading and it tracks like an arrow. In short, the best investment I have made for my bike. Thanks." Jim, Silver Spring, Maryland • "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!"
Jerry Hall • "I recently had occasion to borrow a Stinger trailer to move a non-operating bike. I picked up the trailer in Richmond, Cal. and towed it empty to San Francisco. We reached speeds of 60 mph, empty, and the trailer stayed right behind the truck. After picking up the bike it towed like a dream." Mike Barron site ©
