 19 Notes:

A homemade trailer being pulled by an adventure bike? Yup, trailers are not limited to the "big bagger" types like heavy Harley's and Goldwing's. The smaller bike's, like adventure bikes and even Cafe Racer's have been spotted pulling the occasional trailer here and there.

Small bike owners want to be able to take that trip or go camping on 2 wheels too.
