Goldwing Motorcycle Trailer Broke Down on the Highway | Epidode 16

[@D-L_Adventures]

Check your trailers closely, this is the third Caliente rider that has had the suspension break. Check your welds as well as bearings and maintenance items, but just as important balance your load and dont load to much. Even with all that sometimes things just break.

Well said. 100% agree.

Watching this has just about sold me on avoiding the used market for a trailer. Might as well bite the bullet and get a new one and make sure I maintain it.

A trailer for the trailer. So sorry that happened. In that heat did anyone use the cyclechillers ice vest? July 5th I left okc to be wingman on the trip to Traxxion in Atlanta to get his suspension upgrade. It worked better than I could imagine in the heat wave. Saw 102 with a lot of humidity both ways. Toggle on and off and it gets 4 hours. Keeps you fresh.

I had a guy call me many years ago, he was a GWRRA Member like me, and he got my number out of the Gold Book. His trailer axle had broke about a mile from my house. He was from Texas. We got the trailer picked up and he left it at my house and he arranged for someone to come weld it. Took a couple of days, but he was back on the road again. Hope everything turned out ok in your situation. Ride safe.

All well ends well.

[@SmokeyA55]

Exactly what happened to his trailer was it a bearing failure or weld breaking just wondering what else I need to look for

[@tomvoncharon6359]

Rethinking a trailer purchase now. Sorry for your situation. Hate it when stuff happens on the road.

[@chriscaliente5033]

Trailers are great and very convenient to have but like anything else you must use them responsibly, you must maintain good tires with the proper inflation, grease the bearings regularly and most of all don't overload it!

What make of trailer? Do you have pictures of what broke? Thanks.

[@thomaslong6775]

What gloves are you using that lets you touch your phone without taking them off?

[@DergEnterprises]

Why wait on AAA when you guys had a great idea of renting a truck form Home Depot? Edit: Changed "in" to "on"

[@deepsquat600]

Got to say Chris I like the other guys idea someone should have went up rented a truck from home Depot loaded on that and then got yourself out of the damn heat

[@dennisjohnson294]

Take care Chris on that highway praying 🙏 thanks for sharing 👍
