Coffin trailers are cool and slightly morbid all at the same time. 

So do you haul all you gear a put up a tent to sleep in, or do you put your gear in the tent and sleep in the trailer?

I would love to see someone crawling out this trailer at the first smell of coffee at the next biker rally.

 19 Notes:

Boats are awesome. Boats that are made for storage compartments to pull behind motorcycles are more awesome. Just the thought of combining two passions together and showing it loud and proud wherever you go speeks volumes. Matching paints jobs is also a nice touch. 

If I was a betting man, I would be that you would see two motorcycle innertubes floating behind his boat. (with matching colors)
