John,
This past summer we got to see first hand what a real team is like. We were on a secondary road in Kentucky when a young man driving his dad's Mustang started to pass a string of vehicles on a narrow two-lane curvy road, and avoided a head-on collision by cutting in behind us and hitting our trailer. We were 51 miles (as the crow flies) from the Bushtec factory and were able to have the trailer transported to your facilities. Although we arrived late (after 7 pm) you were waiting to get our trailer in and ready to be worked on the first thing the next morning. The next day we found that not only were the repairs being made, but everything about the trailer front-to-back, top-to-bottom, was being double checked. And may I add, we purchased the trailer second-hand from a friend that no longer rides, not a direct purchase from Bushtec. Everyone we met at the factory was an example of people that believe in their product, take pride in their work and what they produce, and were very friendly and courteous, and made sure we were made to feel right at home. And, they had us back on the road very quickly.

Attached are a couple of pictures of our Flair red 2004 Honda Goldwing with Hannigan trike conversion and our matching 2004 Bushtec Turbo 2 trailer. The first picture was taken on our trip on the Natchez Trace Parkway and the second picture is in front of our home in Lawton, Oklahoma getting ready to hit the road. We love to travel, and our Bushtec trailer is great. Thanks Bushtec, and congratulations on a great team.

John,
Here is a picture of our new Gold 06 model Bushtec Quantum GL with GT package. This picture is taken with our GL1800 at Lake Owyhee Sate Park in Eastern Oregon about 100 miles from Boise, Idaho. The road into this area is a great bike trip and I was amazed how easy it was to tow the trailer behind the bike. Our friends all gave us a "thumbs up" when they saw the trailer and several asked information about the trailer and your web site.

The trailer survived the shipping from Tennessee without a scratch. The shipping crate provided a high degree of protection and it is well designed.

Thanks again John. Maybe someday we will cross paths.

John,
This is my second Roadstar that I've bought from you guys, and I couldn't be any happier! The only reason I sold my original Roadstar was to match my new Sun Glo Blue Harley. The original Roadstar held its value so well that the difference was LESS than what it would have cost to repaint it. The color match is perfect and the quality is A-1 throughout the trailer. I get a lot of questions every time I get out. Thanks again for your good service at Honda Hoot last year.

Dear Bushtec Folks,
Here's a picture of myself and my 1986 Harley FXRD and 1996 Turbo+. I bought this new from you, and have racked up many miles with it. Pictured here outside of Keystone SD. during Sturgis week. I get lots of questions and comments about the trailer, one because of what its attached to (the FXRD) and second is, "How can you lean over so far, and the trailer doesn't move?" I tell them it's all in the hitch!!!. It follows like a dream and have not had a bit of trouble with it. I'll be adding a hitch for my 2007 Ultra this spring.

John,
Finally got down to N.C. to get the trailer. Pretty neat looking setup. Can't believe the color match. How many people buy a car to match their Bushtec trailer?

Doug

John,
Previously, we owned a competitors trailer, but always admired the Bushtec trailers we saw on the road. Eventually, this "Bushtec Envy" got to us, so we ordered a 2007 Quantum GL, in matching yellow. After uncrating our beauty, we hitched up for a quick trip into the mountains. It was then, I really understood why Bushtec trailers are so highly regarded by their owners.

I bought the Roadstar in 1997 when I lived in New Bern, N.C. You may remember that right as I left your facility it was raining. I was rear ended by a Mustang at the bottom of that slippery hill. You guys came down to the scene and had me come back to your shop. The damage was repaired and I was back on my way that afternoon. I restored the sidecar about 4 years ago. I’ve looked through your gallery and didn’t see anything like I have. I really have enjoyed pulling the trailer. It is effortless on my part as well as the bikes. My brother and I traveled one summer and carried two sets of golf clubs as well as our luggage. Of course I carried and pulled everything as he rode free and easy. I was also in the 1998 Bike Show in Myrtle Beach and won my class with your trailer in tow. Thanks

Stewart Hopkins

  

John,

A very heartfelt thanks to all the expertise and quality in your products and customer service. I purchased the Roadstar in Sturgis, South Dakota in 2002 after several trips to your display and tons of questions. I had to fabricate a hitch for the above pictured bike due to the wide tire frame, the advice and support from Jason was very outstanding in the process to get it correct for my application. On a good note the FLH hitch I purchased for a buddies bike to get the Roadstar back home has been put to good use as he has since purchased a Roadstar as well. This trailer has performed flawlessly and has more than met our every expectation, we have used it a lot and received all kinds of compliments while on the road. I painted it HOK Candy Brandywine to match the bike and really like the classic lines that match the style of bike that I tow with. This is one purchase that I have been 110% satisfied with and would highly recommend your company to anyone.

John,

I just wanted to tell you how much I am enjoying the Turbo +2. However, you were wrong on one account. That is, you said I wouldn’t even know the trailer was back there after the first 50 miles. Wrong! I didn’t even know the trailer was back there by the time I got to I-75. Even passing 18-wheelers and being passed by same, I noticed no additional wind buffeting. All in all, it’s a great addition and will open up new horizons for me, I’m sure. Attached are some photos I took along the Little Tennessee River, just before we headed south on the Tail of the Dragon. As for the Dragon, I was able to attack it just as if I were on a sport bike.

John,
Just wanted to say thanks for the great trailer, we have had it from Nova Scotia to Key West and most everywhere in between !!
This is one of our trips though Deals Gap Tn,

Thanks Again

John,
This picture was taken on Aug 14-07. at the Arctic Circle on the haul road from Fairbanks to Prudhoe Bay. The trike is a 97 GL 1500 TriKing trike and pulling a 93 model Bushtec Turbo trailer. The riders are Edwin & Jacque Shook from Bryson City ., NC at ages of 70 and 67.

John,
We have had our Bushtec since 1998 and have trailered it behind three Ultras a1997, 2001 and our new 2008. We just go it back from the custom paint shop and thought you may want to see how nice it came out. We have taken this trailer cross country seven times, hope to take it several more times

John, have had this Genesis trailer since 1995. I have painted it 3 times to match my bikes. NOW, we painted the corvette to match the trailer! Whew! I wasn't changing bikes again, so my husband had no choice! LOL

John, It was a pleasure to meet you at Americade. Lance & I bought one of your trailers recently. We love it! He uses it all the time, even around town. We are looking forward to traveling with it on trips. I am sending you some pictures. Lance wants to do the Dragon Tail and if we do will try to come to the factory. Thanks again

Hello Andrew Now it is soon two years since I bougth the Turbo+2 from you and now we really have test it out this summer with a trip in Europe and we like the trailor very much. We took the trip to Italy 2 adult 2children and a full trailer this summer and had no problems a nice trip down to Venezia and back to Norway.

The Turbo+2 goes very nice on bad road surface so we are very pleased and we have much bad roads in Norway. And thank you for very good service when I bought the trailer from you.

Best regards
Gunnar Eide, Norway

Hi Andrew,
What a perfect pair, the GL Quantum and the GL 1800. After riding over 3000 miles to the Midwest this summer, I am here to say that the combo GL's are a great match. The Bushtec Quantum GL performed with a full load (350lb) as though it had it's own engine. From high speed (not recommended) to low speed, the bike handles as if the trailer is not even there, with its relaxed and smooth movement. Everytime we pull in for gas there's always someone to say "What a Nice Rig" (Mr. & Mrs. GL).

........... I will say this in closing, for long distance traveling, in order to keep your wife happy while carrying lots of stuff, a BUSHTEC trailer is surely my first consideration. Style, performance, and safety are all there. As you can see Andy, I really love my new GL Quantum Bushtec Trailer. Again I want to thank you and your Company for a great product.

This photo was taken near the intersection of Route 33 and 28 at Seneca Rocks, West Virginia. The rocks are a magnificent formation rising nearly 900 feet above the North Fork River. The rocks were named for the Indians that traveled and camped nearby on their annual migration.

Thanks for the gorgeous trailer and the excellent design and fabrication. When I picked it up at the factory, I was amazed at the quality and workmanship. You definitely have done your homework to produce a quality product. I am confident it will be around for many years and many memorable motorcycle trips.

Come ride West Virginia

To the Bushtec Family

The wife and I just got back from a trip to Yellowstone, Beartooth Pass, Montana and Chief Joseph Pass Wyoming. Our route took us from Navasota, Tx. through Colorado, with plans of going to Moab Utah after we traveled through Silverton, Ouray, and Ridgeway, Colorado. We took a wrong turn and missed Moab and ended up on one of the best unknown roads (to us) we ever traveled in Colorado, Hwy 141. The road isn't shown as a scenic route on the map, but it turned out to be one of the best routes we took on our whole trip. I highly recommend Hwy 141 if you get a chance to ride it.

Having the Quantum GL was great! Being the first trip with it we packed way too much (all but the kitchen sink) and had to leave the spare at home. While taking pictures of a "Bear and Cubs" in Yellowstone, I over heard other vacationers were saying what a great looking trailer we have and how well it matches the Goldwing. One even took a picture! We had the same comments at almost every stop throughout the trip .

The quality and appearance of the GL could not be matched by any other trailer manufacturer. We owe thanks to Bushtec for a great motorcycle/trailer travel experience and look forward to many more.

Hi from Michigan,

Just a note to say thanks again for your help on my Valkyrie 98 and to say the trailer pulls great behind the bike. Wanted you to see the Trike with trailer also,ready to go!!! We have had so much enjoyment with the unit. Your staff is great and the knowledge and services are the best. A great product,hope to see you on the highway.

Hello John,

This is my 2005 Roadstar trailer, painted for my 2007 Honda Gold Wing. I've had some airbrushed lightening bolt's added to both bike and trailer. I have over 20,000 miles on the trailer original tires, with no problems. The trailer tracks like it's on rails. I love my Bushtec.

I purchased our new Bushtec Quantum GL from Rod's Power Sports in Nebraska. This photo was taken on Lake Bienvenue in southwest Louisiana during our first trip with it. Man, what a dream! I now believe all of the fine things I've read about your product and we're looking forward to logging many more miles with our Bushtec.

We purchased the Turbo +2 from Dennis Scarff of Performance Sport Trailers of Greater Kansas City. What a pleasure it has been to pull behind our Chrysler Crossfire. The Bushtec trailer has given my wife and me the opportunity to drive our roaster clear across the United States without having to stop every other day to do laundry.

Doug Peifer from Monroe,N.Y. knows how to escape the cold of New York ... he heads for Daytona. The custom paint is a snake skin pattern air brushed onto the rear spoiler along with a cartoon looking snake that just swallowed a HOG. Custom pinstripping was added to the sides of the trailer to match the bike. Doug's first long trip with the trailer was out to Sturgis S.D. in the summer of 2006. The trailer performed flawlessly. It was on this trip that he mounted a video camera on a tripod to the lid of the Buchtec trailer. It's the video featured on the opening page of the Bushtec website to show how smooth the trailer really rides. Doug says "The video itself along with the great looks of the trailer show what a great product John and his company make."

Dear John and Andrew,

I have been fortunate in that I won the Americade Special Edition Roadstar Trailer. What an awesome addition to any motorcycle. Being a woman I was a little apprehensive about pulling a trailer behind my bike. Not anymore. I didn't even know it was there unless I glanced in the mirror. Wow! Am I impressed? You bet I am. I pulled it for the 1st time to Lake George, New York recently from Delaware. We took the main highways and back roads, and still didn't know it was behind me. It was everything I expected it to be and more.

The video and instruction manual couldn't have been better. My hubby hooked it up in no time. I am now very very proud to be a Bushtec Trailer owner. I would like to express my thanks to your entire group for producing such a very fine product.

Thanks again! Sue Fite

  

Since picking up our Turbo +2 in May, we made a 3,000 mile trip to Niagara Falls and back via the Outer Banks of North Carolina and a long weekend trip on the Blue Ridge Parkway and around the Southeast covering 1,200 miles. It handles like a dream on all types of road conditions.
Looking forward to many more trips,

While on a recent trip up through Canada we were staying in a small hotel where the wifi signal was only available "outside" of our room. Frustrated at first, we quickly solved the problem with our Turbo+2 "computer desk". Nice level space for the laptop and just the right height for the available chair. Even attracted a few riders from Michigan who inquired about our Bushtec for their Wing.

Best,
Bill and Kathy Kinney

Says Roger: "I painted the trailer to match my MGA and have towed it about 10,000 miles with absolutely no problems whatsoever. The trailer is a dream to tow, and takes corners very well. I can travel mountain roads at similar speeds I would drive with no trailer in tow. I have discovered that the trailer tows well even when loaded with about 200 pounds of luggage and spare parts. It has no effect on my fuel economy."

"When I attend British car shows, my Bushtec trailer is always the center of attention, and I find myself answering more questions about the trailer than I do about my car! The bottom line is, I drive the car like the trailer was not even there! It is my firm belief that Bushtec manufactures the finest luggage trailer on the market. Period!"

Just wanted to take a few moments and thank you for the quality trailer ! My entire Bushtec experience has been a pleasant one. I purchased a Roadstar after looking at trailers for a few years and asking myself; "to buy, or not to buy". I mean really, did I need to spend a few thousand dollars on a motorcycle trailer. Well, let me tell you that I wish I'd done it a long time ago and if someone is in the market for a trailer, just do it ! My wife and I completed a 3,400 mile trip which was our maiden voyage with the trailer in May 2006 , and it performed flawlessly. We recently (2007) added to our adventures with a 4,200 mile adventure (see photo on left above). It sounds so cliché, but really, you don't know it's back there unless you see it in your mirrors. The CD that arrived a few days before the trailer itself, has turned out to be priceless. It walked me through every aspect of the trailer, from the uncrating, to the loading, to preventative maintenance; it makes it all so easy.

Thanks Bushtec,

My wife and I have just visited the Arctic Circle with our Bushtec trailer. As you can see it is a little dirty. This thing pulls wonderfully at 75 mph. We purchased this in IN at Don's motorcycle sales.Wonderful people.

Just a note to let you know what a great product you have,

Wim & Nancy Bosch

 

I see from your Gallery that most brands and styles of bikes are represented except the Royal Star Venture so I thought I’d forward a couple of shots of my Venture and my color matched Roadstar trailer which pulls like a dream and we are looking forward to each riding season with more enthusiasm because of our Roadstar trailer! These shots are from the Jasper Alberta area. We love our Bushtec and it draws rave reviews from everyone that sees it!

I picked up our new Turbo II in April, 2005 and we have been all over this country with it. It must have 8000 miles on it this summer including a 5000+ mile trip out west. We pulled that trailer in every conceivable kind of weather condition, on most every kind of road, over the continental divide a few times and have to say, "we won't ever leave home without it." My wife just loves the room and although she was very concerned about the initial expense and the safety of pulling a trailer, she won't go anywhere without it now. Thank You for your friendly personal service and the plant tour. We will be contacting you soon for some accesories before we hit the road again this summer. Here's a couple pictures we took enjoying our vacation. Thanks again.

Milford L. Sistrunk and Hafbad (2000 Screamin Eagle Road Glide) plus his 2000 Turbo +2 Bushtec Trailer on a return trip from Memphis to Houston. Stopped for food at a Meat Market outside of Lake Charles, LA. Trailer was purchased in March 2000 in Daytona Beach during Bike Week and has about 10,000 wonderful miles now. Many thanks to John and Andrew for making it possible!

  

Dear John,

We just completed our first trip with our new Bushtec Quantum GL. We traveled from Hull Georgia to Americade in Lake George New York covering about 2700 miles. It was the best vacation we have ever had and the Bushtec is wonderful. I’ve heard folks say before "you can’t tell it is back there." Well, I couldn’t. It performed flawlessly on every road from the Blue Ridge Parkway, the extremely twisty road leading from the parkway to High speed interstate with heavy truck traffic. We also experienced wind and rain. Everything stayed dry and there was no effect from wind or truck blast. I am extremely pleased. We packed the trailer heavy with an ice chest and left the drain plug loose so the chest would continually drain. I know we will enjoy it for years to come.

Here are some photos in front of Erlowest Inn out side of Lake George taken just before beginning our ride home, at Peaks of the Otter on the Blue Ridge Parkway, entering Vermont, and just escaping a tornado near Lenox PA. Thank you for a quality product.

Dear John,
Here is a picture of our bike and the new trailer you built for us. The trailer matches our bikes paint perfectly and works like a charm .... tows like there is nothing there.

I bought this Roadstar last year from you and had it painted to match the 03 Ultra's Black and Marble Purple. The trailer is a dream to pull. This shot was in Colorado in September while on a 2000 mile trip from Odessa TX. I just love it.

Thanks Wayne Wheat

This 2002 trike did not look complete without the Bushtec trailer. This is second Bushtec I have owned. I had a Roadstar behind my Royal Star. The Quantrum GL made my trike complete. This photo was taken at the GWRRA Mississippi Rally in Biloxi, Ms.

Dear John,

We were in Custer National Park when we had this photo "op" in July 2004. We are each riding a 2003 Screaming Eagle Road King. Steve's is the Roadstar, mine is the Genesis. 2005 will be my 10th season with the same Genesis trailer. I have had it painted 3 times to match my 3 different Harley-Davidsons. It has over 80,000 miles on it. I won't be without it!

Dear John,

This picture was taken on the Blue Ridge Parkway during a trip with my wife this summer. The trailer pulled like it was not attached to the bike. The extra space really comes in handy when the wife is along for the trip or when I go camping alone for several days. No problems at all with the trailer since picking it up in the spring of 04.
Interstate driving does not slow you down at all and in the mountains you have to remind yourself that it's back there and give yourself a little added stopping space due to the weight. At the campgrounds people can not believe a FJR with a trailer.

I have included some pictures of the hitch that Bushtec sent me earlier.

The pick-up at the factory went very well and the staff was very helpful and courteous for the tour.

Thanks again for a fine product.

Regards,

Dear Bushtec,
This is a picture of my 2003 Gold Wing with our 1999 Turbo II that I purchased used. I have to say, it performed better than I could have anticipated.
The picture was taken June 30th, 04 near the top of the route thru the Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado.
Thanks for building a quality trailer.

Dear Bushtec,
We have just returned from a 9 day 2200 mile trip through the Southwest. We thought you would like to know that our Roadstar trailer was fantastic and handled like a dream. We included a picture that was taken in Red Canyon, Utah, close to the entrance to Bryce Canyon.
Thanks again for your great product. We received compliments everywhere we went.

Al Willis, the owner of this great looking rig, took what he describes as "the trip of a lifetime" this past summer to the Sturgis Rally & Races via Denver and the Colorado Rockies, the Grand Tetons and Jackson Hole, Wyoming, Yellowstone, the Beartooth Pass, and Spearfish, SD. This picture was taken with the Grand Tetons in the backdrop, near Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Al's trip spanned 9 days and covered 12 states and 3,445 miles and his 2004 Bushtec Roadstar was along for each mile (although he had to keep checking to see if it was truly there).

Says Al "The trailer was just awesome! It looked great and pulled great - no swaying or bouncing around behind the 2004 HD Ultra Classic. For the best trailer on the road (period!), go with Bushtec!"

Dear John, Sally, Andrew and the whole Bushtec crew,

Thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU... For doing such a wonderful job in building our new Bushtec Roadstar. The fit-'n-finish is superb in every aspect, but then again that's exactly what I expected from all you fine folks.

On our way back home (which was the maiden voyage for the Roadstar) we spent two days running through Deal's Gap, the Cherhola Skyway, and all the surrounding areas near Murphy, NC. At the Deal's Gap store, the "two GoldWings pulling trailers" were quite the topic, especially when one of the "Crotch Rocketteers" told his buddies how we did a pretty fair job of keeping up with him through a goodly portion of the run! After he said that, a group of them came over to check us out. One of them commented how he really liked the Roadstar and it would look great behind his Harley. So of course I gave him the "grand tour" and told him about all the wonderful folks at Bushtec.

John, I'll bet you've wished (at one time or another) that you would see a Bushtec behind "joe in ga's" GoldWing, and now we BOTH have our wish! (It's been a week, and I still can't get the smile off my face!) Thank you again for the fine craftsmanship you folks put into your trailers. They truly ARE the BEST OF THE BEST!

Dear John and Sally and the crew at Bushtec,

I thought you might enjoy a couple of pictures from a hometown guy. Last fall, my wife and I took a tour of New England on our 2000 Harley Electra Glide Ultra Classic with our matching Turbo+2 trailer. The first photo was taken in Narragansett, Rhode Island and the second at the Yacht Club in Hyannis, Massachusetts. We traveled about 3500 miles in 15 days and never had a moment of trouble from the rig. This was not our first trip with this rig. Since getting our trailer in November of 2002, this rig has been to Bike Week in Daytona, Myrtle Beach and the Outer Banks of North Carolina in addition to this New England trip. Everywhere we go, the trailer draws stares, thumbs ups, positive comments and questions. Everyone who looks at it is impressed with it. Hey, I own it and I’m impressed with it. Thanks for building such a great product.

Although not unique, you don't see many Bustec Performance Trailers pushing a 4-wheel vehicle down the road very often! Philip Edwards of Huntersville, NC found just what he was looking for when more space became desireable. Says Ed, "I just wanted to share some photo's of my Bushtec Genesis trailer I got for Christmas. I'm a little different than your regular customers in that I drive a BMW Z3 instead of riding a Harley. My Z3 is somewhat limited in trunk space for trips and this trailer will make up the difference. The paint job to match my Z3 was an excellent match. I couldn't have been more pleased. The Dealer "Haus of Trikes" were great people to work with! Thanks again for a Great Product!!"

Mike Perini of Lafayette, OR shared this shot of his 1982 Bushtec still being used and going strong. Mike originally purchased the trailer and a matching 1982 Gold Wing. He sold the Wing, but kept the Bushtec. He then had the trailer repainted, hand polished the spoke wheels, had the fender wells and underside of the trailer undercoated and added new carpet inside. What a great match! Says Mike, "I would like to say the hitch I bought from Bushtec looks great on my 1998 RSTC11 to which I also added hardbags and Venture trunk, and had painted to match the trailer."

  

Wayne Anderson of Leicester, MA showing his new (to him) 2002 Honda Goldwing GL1800A and it beautifully matched 2002 Bushtec Quantum GL trailer. This is a picture of the bike/trailer entered into the GWRRA New England Regional Rally. The combination took 'BEST OF SHOW' for 2003! "I've been trailering a long time and have had many makes and models. This is my first Bushtec and I'm in LOVE! Notice the beautiful ;-) new mags that Bushtec came up with! They're fantastic!!" The trailer has every available Bushtec option including a couple aftermarket items including remote control air from the 'Electrical Connection'.

It all started in June of 1993. While setting at a stoplight I saw a Beige GL1500 pulling a color matched Bushtec Turbo. I said, "I've got to have one of those". It was the Bushtec that got me started into the "Goldwing Thing". July 12, 1993 I purchased a 93 Candy Red GL1500. The following September I went to Wings over the Smokies and it took all the will power I could muster not to buy a Bushtec Turbo. I lasted until May of 1994; I purchased my trailer in the Rider Rally in Richmond, KY. Since then I have a new Pearl Orange GL1800, and of course I needed a Quantum GL to match it.

Thanks to John, Sally, Andrew and the great employees at Bushtec.

Bruce Wall, Lexington, KY

Think Bushtec trailers don't have staying power? Don't try to tell that to Jack Galloway. Says Jack: "The first picture is of our 1200 taken in Redding, CA in 1988." Fast forward 14 years to his GL1500 with his Bushtec taken near Bryce Canyon Nat Park with the same trailer.

Thanks Jack .... it's dedicated Bushtec owners like you (and many others) that are our best advertisement. Bushtec Performance Trailers .... Safety, Style, Performance .... and Endurance!

This first shot is of a great looking 2002 HD Electra Glide Classic and Bushtec Trailer taken at at Huntington Beach California. The second is in Santa Fe New Mexico at a KOA campground in August 2002. Says Michael, " I was on vacation from Denver Colorado, visiting my folks for their surprise 70th birthday and had purchased my Bushtec "Turbo+2" trailer at Sturgis just 3 weeks earlier. Never having purchased, let alone pulled a trailer behind a motorcycle, I was not sure what to expect. One thing I can tell you after THIS trip, is that I made the right choice buying a Bushtec. It seemed that every time I stopped while going to, or from California I had the opportunity to show off the capacity and quality of the trailer. It REALLY draws a lot of attention! I even met a couple on the way home just south of the Co/NM state line that was riding back to Denver, and he called me three days later to tell me HE had just bought a Bustec at a dealer in Loveland CO! Any "referral bonus?" In all seriousness, Thank you to the folks that were is Sturgis this year, and I'll see you in 2003 for a Luggage Rack installation!!!"

Well, here's a new one to us. Four 2001 GL1800 Gold Wings with matching Bustec Quantum GL trailers! The bikes belong to members of GWRRA's Mississippi Chapter "B", from the sandy beaches of South Mississippi's golden Gulf Coast. The owners are: Jack and Cindy Ridgdell, K.Z. and Terry Kleinheitz, Harry and Marlene Brackett, and Larry and Barbara Wolfe.



  

Says Larry Wolfe, "I believe that the idea of four people buying the same kind of motorcycle, the same color and in the same club or Chapter is truly unique. Above all this, for those same four people to buy the same kind of trailer (identically accessorized) to pull behind those identical bikes, is beyond unique and bordering on incredible."

Chuck writes, "Here's some pictures of my Roadstar trailer attached to my 1998 Honda Valkyrie Tourer. My wife and I have taken numerous camping trips into Michigan's Upper Peninsula and went last year to the Honda Homecoming in Ohio. We get all kinds of compliments and questions everywhere we go. I tell everybody that if they buy a Bushtec, they won't be disappointed. Thanks Bushtec!"

No Chuck ......... Thank You!

Pete Halsted says "Thought I'd give you an update on our Drifter and Road Star Trailer. We just completed a 2340 mile trip to the Black Hills of South Dakota, as always the trip would not have been possible without our Trailer, It really is a joy to travel with it.

We often get questions about pulling a Bushtec trailer behind various motorcycles, including the Honda Pacific Coast. Arvid Løvik shows just how good it looks and the type of roads he rides. After this, Deal's Gap looks like a straight shot! We don't often link to other web sites, but Arvid has a site with pictures of one of his rides that are just to good not to pass along. You'll find them HERE. Just another example of how a Bushtec Trailer adds to the enjoyment of motorcycle touring.

Ron Blood and Candy Hunter of Pasco, WA wanted to show off their BMW K1200LT and new Bushtec Quantum trailer. These shots were taken shortly after their return from a 4500 mile trip riding around in Colorado and Utah. Says Ron, "the trailer was wonderful, as was the scenery." Just another example of how a Bushtec Trailer adds to the enjoyment of motorcycle touring.
