Yer lucky the heat wave ended otherwise youl would of really be frying. Last time I went to Willow in the summer it hit 110. After that I vowed never to go to Rosamond in teh summer again haha. Luckily those dates are near the end of summer at least.

What kind of trailer? The MC-specific one?

I use my Baxley sport chock to help keep the front wheel straight. It may be overkill, but that's just me.

The 5x9 open trailer is plenty big enough. The enclosed trailer may not have the tie downs you would need (you would have to improvise if you got an enclosed one).

What are you towing with?

In the bed would be easiest in terms of driving, but only if you have an extra wide ramp or a buddy to help you load it. Otherwise, a trailer is easiest to load.
