That depends on the weather. I plan to use mine to avoid having to ride in the rain when I head out for a long weekend and one or two days are going to be washed out.
Other than that, there may be times when I want to take both the GSXR and the Busa with me.
Also, since I don't have a garage, the trailer will double as a nice dry parking place for both...

I have asked myself that many times and have come up with the answer that it may not get used much, but when it does I don't have to make a special effort to get one.

I wish I could say more, but 2 to 5 times seems to be all I'm getting here lately.

I use mine everyday. Since I work away from home, and stay in a travel trailer, the cargp trailer acts like a detached garage. I have it parked beside the camper, and use it to store extra clothes, tools, and of course the bikes. I also can push one bike out and have room to work on the other if needed. I will get pics shortly...

Use mine 2 to 5 times a year. It's funny when you think about it. I just sold my other trailer and bought a bigger one and it just sitting beside the garage. But I had to have a bigger trailer, I'll use it in June when I go to up state NY for vacation. I'll take the busa, GSXR and my son dirtbike with us. I'm already talking to the wife; that I might want to get a bigger trailer later on. LOL

Thanks and its all alum.. Never seen another like it. Bought it years ago from a friend. I believe its a "easyloader. The trailer tilts to the rear and you just drive up on it, then it tilts back into place and locks in.

Dont have a trailer, but I have rented a closed in 6x12 U-hual trailer twice this year already at $34 a day. I can see its need atleast 2 more times this summer. Just cant justify buying one yet.

Use mine often. It's nice to be able to haul your friends bikes too, and to have everything dry and safe when you get where your going. At the events I have taken it to it is known as the busa hospital as it has everything onboard to repair most common damage from spills.

I had a 24' pace trailer and it didn't move for 1.5yrs. Sold it and used my silverado(RIP). All I did was lower the rear air suspension, and I could get it in the bed by myself. I miss that truck.
