Hey guys,
I have two questions, both about storage. The first: My wife and I were camping last weekend, and we thought it would have been great to have ridden the bike. However, we go out there with a tent, a cooler, a couple of backpacks, and some other miscellaneous stuff. With the two of us on the bike, no matter of saddlebags would hold all of that. On the way back, however, I saw a bike with a cargo trailer. That would hold all our stuff just fine, and would allow us to not have stuff packed all over us on the actual bike. So my question: would the M50 have enough power to carry the wife and me plus tow an additional, say, 300 pounds of trailer + cargo? Does anyone have any experience with a cargo trailer - performance consequences, safety concerns, etc.? And finally, what is everyone's favorite brand of trailer?
Question two: subtract all the tents, cargo, and the wife and add... an electric bass guitar. Any ideas of how I could get that from my house to where the band plays? I have a backpack-style bag for it, but riding with that would catch the wind and pull me right off!
So yea, ideas welcome
Thanks,
