    To tow or not to:-

    http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/h...s/DSC_2601.jpg

    Need to tow the Bird abroad so we can campsite it in the camper and fly off into the sunshine in sunnier climes, France/Spain/Italy & next year Greece.
    Want a small trailer either the Ro-Ro, looks good but expensive, or the bike trailer with bike rear wheel on the road. Small and neat but don't know the legality abroad, especially Spains Guada, they are shites.
    Any info. guys, well appreciated.
    We are in Spain at the mo. back in March and missing the Bird like feck! All this sunshine and no wind in my visor, sod it!
    Too old to die young, gel seat needed!!

    I wouldn't be too keen on a tow setup that had the bike's rear tire on the road. The tire, bearings, chain, sprockets and output shaft will all be spinning and wearing as if the bike were being ridden.
    More beer!!

    Couldn't agree more! Lots of wear and tear for nothing
