Living in SoCal we HATE the transit to most anywhere north (2 hrs thru the L.A. or San Ber’do areas) ’til the traffic clears, so … I’m looking at trailers to “get outa Dodge” and then parking the car and riding.
Down to two, different types: A “folding single rail-type trailer and a more standard folding bed trailer. Anyone have experiences with these types, comments, recommendations, etc? See pix for the two versions.

Hello Stuart,
I have a Kendon 3 motorcycle foldable trailer. I purchased mine used. It’s been an easy trailer to use and easy to load a R1250GS onto. I’m vertically challenged and load the bike by myself. Kendon sells an AMERICAN made (Stand Up series) or their China version (Go series). There’s also a copy cat company in Santa Fe Springs that sells similar trailers at a more affordable rate (Tow Smart Trailers). I purchased the three motorcycle trailer due to towing one motorcycle and taking 2 mountain bikes with me. I also use the trailer for towing big items for projects. Just remove the wheel chocks and you have a big platform to tow bulky items. Now if you are in need of a basic one motorcycle trailer just be mindful of the tire/wheel diameter. There were a few other single motorcycle foldable trailers with 10 or 12in wheels, which wonder or skip at highway speeds. I wanted to add more to this post, but I’m also trying to keep it short, if you have any additional questions feel free to contact me.

I had a 2 bike Kendon stand up for many years. It was an old style and didn’t have the front bar style that I see on present Kendons. It was fine for dirt bikes and it worked out when I had a 700GS . I never felt comfortable putting my 1200GS and now 1200RT on the trailer. Pushing or riding up the rail ramp was something I just wasn’t comfortable with, plus there wasn’t adequate foot room to sit on the bike on the trailer.
I was able to sell it for a few dollars. I also had a horse trailer that I used for the 1200 that worked out. The horses are gone and so it the horse trailer. With the combined motorcycle and horse trailer sales, I was able to buy the trailer I really wanted. I purchased an aluminum 2 bike trailer. Weight was an important consideration, the trailer empty weighs about 650# It has a full width ramp and I can easly ride the bike onto the trailer. Since its a flat bed (without the chocks) I can use it for other hauling needs. I mounted Ztracks so that tie down options are limitless.
