    Yeah I jam the front in the corner, and slide the back as tight against the wheel arch as possible and it doesn’t go anywhere. If the bike is angled like it is in the pic, I have a tie down in the left front corner and the other in the right rear. The suspension doesn’t even squat like this.

    And thanks! The Yamaha is a great bike, but it’s currently down with a transmission issue. I’m tearing into it this week and hope to have it back up and running before summer ends. Just ticked over 40 hours on my Kawi yesterday, and that thing is an excellent machine as well. It’s my first 4 stroke in about 6 years. Had a few before that, but they don’t compare to the modern fuel injected bikes. Really looking forward to the new 250F as well.

    PW50 was my first bike too, age 5. 20 years later still slow, and still on Yamahas (I did have a 1998 KTM 50 Pro Senior though!).

    An enclosed 6x12 was my dream setup. I don't ride enough anymore to justify it. I have a 2 place ATV trailer for my utility ATV's that I use if there may be rain, that way I can keep everything dry under the tonneau, bikes on the trailer. Otherwise I just put them in the bed.

    If I can get out more a V-nose 6x12 would be ideal for me.

    Gotta get them started young!

    Those little Oset bikes are sweet!

    I mostly want the enclosed V nose for the space and ability to lock everything up. With my open trailer everything is exposed to the elements and people. I keep going back and forth on one, but think it’s gonna happen this winter.

    The kids love the OSET, it definitely has it's perks compared to a gas bike.

    All those things make sense. It's nice knowing everything is secure while your rig is out of sight. Nice having a place to change in standing up, out of the weather and everyone's view (so not to make them jealous, haha). I know this is a bit far from you, but I found great deals on trailers at trailersuperstore.com. I bought my ATV trailer there and had a good experience, that's where I will likely get an enclosed trailer if I get one. Not sure if you have any places nearby with good deals, etc.

    I’m really hoping my daughters just say a whisper or faintly say “I want a motorcycle..” and I will be in full on daddy mode.

    I’m not going to lie either, having a pit bike around the property would be convenient...or build a little rhythm track.

    My six year old has shown some interest....

    There are some deals out there for sure. Just gotta have the cash on hand when they pop up.

    Here's a nice way to go if you have space to store it at home. Easy one person load/unload.

    True, there are also a lot more expensive trailers out there. But I did not want to use a trailer, I wanted to use the Tundra and hence overcome the speed limit for trailers
