Not sure the roadglide was in gear but it should be! And maybe it should be chalked as well. When loading the 45 he almost pushed the roadglide off its stand
So exciting to see our Ironton Utility Trailer go from the box to the road! And seeing your bike roll up onto the trailer for the first time - SUPER satisfying! Very glad you're enjoying its performance so far and we're excited to see the additional modifications you make for your race gear.
awsome!!!! just a thought billy... try mounting the axle above the leaf springs .. that sould lower the trailer a little.. to get a better load angle and level it some.. love your videos man
That's such a beautiful Vintage Harley Davidson! 🤘😎🤘 You're still one of my favorite Channels on RU-vid! You're really awesome at making videos and sharing your knowledge with the world!
Well Sir, I pray you cleaned those bearings and put proper grease in them. I bought the trailer with a cargo box and two spare tires. The first thing I did was clean out that blue light weight grease and repacked them with high speed grease for wheel bearings. Good Luck at the races. You are in my prayers Hoka Hey
The Color on your 22 is gorgeous Beautiful Bike Your racer Doesn't need words So Cool Nice little trailer Always enjoy your videos Have a great weekend
Love it! The number of people who avoid riding in the rain is too high. Personally, I love riding in the rain. Just be sure to check your clutch. Cheers!
As a former Floridian I want to clarify that that was not rain. It was vertical humidity................ You would not have been able to see him if it was rain.
Racing is life and the rest is just waiting. Perfection in every detail. Billy show us your I think, '38 Crocker, I mentioned about a year ago and you responded to me. Stay in the wind!
I hope the toe ball and hitch give you enough articulation in a corner. I know your not going into a corner scraping knees but I thought it would have a different type of hitch. Love your videos billy.
I hope you see my comment Billy. As you know, the wheels/tires/bearings are only rated for 45 mph, and speaking from firsthand experience with these, sometime in the near future, the very 1st thing is to do a wheel/tire upgrade. ALSO: if this trailer uses the same bearings mine had, you'll play hell finding replacement bearings of the correct size, so a better axle with standard hub/bearing size will be next.........I had to do this. My present axle/hubs alone cost more than the entire trailer, lol. But it was well worth it, because you can then ( with better wheels/tires too ) pull this thing safely at interstate speeds for as long as ya like.
Hi Billy I would love to see you modify that trailer so the deck height is what it would be if the trailer were upside down. Makes me nervous with the cg up so high.
I really like your Moxie Billy, if I was going to build a trailer it would be offset axle so the bike would be closer to the ground. What do you think about that?
Billy if I may I would like to make one suggestion on your traylor if u could find a drop axel for it it would set the center of gravity much lower and u would have a better handeling trailer
Something to maybe think about your change you got hooked up from the trailer to the bike maybe leave those off if something were to happen I would hate for it to drag you with it love your show if we lived close together I know we would be friends if you ever need an understudy simple guy from Wyoming would love to hang out looking forward to the next one
hey Billy , with the added weight of the extra bike hardware mount , dosent make enought difference in the balance cetre point ? . just watchin' an enjoyin' Thanks !!! great Work !!! Strong too !!!
Great video Billy, always been a big fan, one question though, when you pull a bike onto the trailer, does the wheel chock do a good job holding the bike level while you install the straps? Normally, I always put my kickstand down when I load, then strap to secure.
You don’t seem concerned about a high centre of gravity on the trailer… I’ve a sidecar I was thinking about adapting to carry a bike but prefer to keep it low. You could use underslung springs or an indispension axle like on my bike trailer to lower it… just a thought…
Bill, may I talk (phone call) with you about possibly racing up here in New England (and elsewhere) "en masse" ( a bunch of riders) with your group of "Class C hand shift" enthusiasts? I think you might like the idea of road racing within club rules as to showcase this important piece of Americana.
