Leave behing the trailer

[Deffy]

Hey Guys,
I'm thinking about getting a trailler just to carry big mud terrain wheels/tyres so I don't have to drive on them prior to off road start.

If I get one and put my HT wheels in it and leave it by the roadside near the offroad track for a day or so untill I return, do you think that it would be vandalised/stolen/wrecked??? Offcourse I would chain it up to a tree or something similar!

What do you reckon?

1 pair of bolt cutters is all they'll need

Deffy,

You're from Guildford and you're asking that!!:eek:
Mate you'd do it once, and never see your HT's or trailer again - I think it would also be a major PITA. You'd be better off and cheaper, to put the 2nd set (muddies or whatever) on before you leave home.
Less hassle, less cartage and they aren't that bad on the road. Unfortunately there are too many P*icks out there. If they didnt steal it, they'd burn it.

Welcome to the forum mate:cool:

Well, people leave their bike trailers around when they go trail bike riding, they leave their vehicles when they go hiking, and their campsites when they go camping.

Incidence of theft in the bush is low in my experience, but I wouldn't take the extra risk, may as well just drive out on your off road tyres.

Much less hassle, and if you end up having to go home in "limp home mode" at least you won't be towing a trailer, plus you can choose to go home via an alternate route.

I always carry a chain saw, just for those occassions I find some poor trailer chained to a tree, out in the middle of nowhere without a bowl of water. :misclock: :burnrubber:

if you had a sturdy enclosed trailer with a removeable drawbar so it couldnt be towed away......and you used some really thick heavy duty chain to chain the wheels to the trailer......
and you managed to find a camping ground to chain the trailer in.......it should be ok.......

no one would be able to see whats in the trailer....and if it was in the camping ground chances are there would be others around
so anyone thinking of any funny business would have some witnesses.....

(its just called a chainsaw....it doesnt mean it will cut through the chain....)

ah yes but the tree could be in real danger no?

remove the rotor button from the dizzie cap:D

seriously, unfortunately these days that there is always some "A" hole who will steal it and if not just vandalise it because they have a variety of "New" social issues which we used to call lack of discipline and bad behavior.:angrylock:

If its remote enough you might be ok but I doubt it. Its to easy to rebirth a trailer and the wheels well once they go thats it.

Just let me know where you park it. I will look after it :twisted: :eek: .

I reckon it would be gone before you came back at lunchtime. As someone else said, put the muddies on at home. Don't leave anything alone in a state forest that you don't want stolen or messed with.

Deffy just buy a haemeroid pillow to sit on to absorb the extra shock and put up with the bumpy threads from home

I'm not implying you need the pillow, it just could take the edge of the bumps that all.

Just park it outside the nearest police station....... even do the change over in front of the station that way the boys in blue have an idea on what vehicle should be pulling up to the trailer to collect...... we use to do this with ammo runs in the army
