3 Things to Consider When Renting a Motorcycle Trailer
If you are going on a long trip or a week long rally, traveling 2, 000 miles away can seem daunting knowing that the only space you have for supplies is your saddlebags. A saddlebag won't fit everything needed for a week long stay, no matter how light you pack. The solution is a motorcycle trailer. Here are some things to consider when choosing a motorcycle trailer.
1. How long is your trip going to be?
The longer the trip, the bigger and more equipped a motorcycle trailer should be. Some motorcycle trailer units come equipped with spare tires. If you are going to be going on a long trip, getting a motorcycle trailer unit with a spare tire might be a very safe way to go. Some motorcycle trailer units even have sleeping areas. The motorcycle trailer lid pops up to attach a tent to the top. This motorcycle trailer is big enough to sleep one person, if you are going alone, this could make for a comfortable and some what cheap sleeping arrangement. This type of motorcycle trailer allows for storage beneath the tent area. Some motorcycle trailer units also allow for items to be tied on top of the motorcycle trailer unit. Think of the weather when choosing this kind of motorcycle trailer. If the weather is not going to be great, you can cover your items with a tarp or put items that won't be hurt by the weather. If you don't want your items in the weather at all, then maybe this is not they type of motorcycle trailer for you.
2. What kind of roads will you be traveling on?
This may sound like a silly question, but if you are traveling on climbing roads and winding roads rather then straight roads, you could save gas and wear on your motorcycle if you get an aerodynamic motorcycle trailer. It may not seem like much, but having a motorcycle trailer pulling back on your motorcycle when you are trying to push it forward. This can cause the engine to work harder and the gas mileage to be poor. Aerodynamics affects the speed and the gas mileage, so if you are going on winding and climbing roads, do your motorcycle a favor and get an aerodynamic motorcycle trailer.
3. How much horsepower does your motorcycle have?
Again, this may sound like a useless question, but if you have a motorcycle with little horsepower, it will be easier on your motorcycle if you get a motorcycle trailer that is relatively light. Some motorcycle trailer units can be as heavy as nearly 400 pounds, some can be closer to 90 pounds. If you have a low horsepower motorcycle your engine would work harder to pull the motorcycle trailer unit up a hill or even starting from a stopped position. The weight also affects the gas mileage. With the gas prices as high as they are and continuously climbing, the more in gas mileage you can save, the better it is on your wallet. Keep in mind, you should also include the weight from the supplies and equipment, spare tire, and tent (should you decide the tent is for you). Motorcycle trailer units can be very light with the technology available today.

My business is in San Francisco how do I sue a person that lives in the UK?
I had a client rent a motorcycle from us in San Francisco. The client came to our office and took the bike from our office. Before we let clients take our motorcycles we get a signed 2,500.00 ?Authorization? on their credit card. The authorization is used in case the client damages the motorcycle and automatically drops off after the client returns the motorcycle undamaged. This client used his American Express Card to pay for the two separate charges. He signed one credit card slip for the rental and another credit card slip for the deposit. He then took the bike north along Highway 1. Two days later he dropped the motorcycle, while the engine was running, into a large puddle of water in excess of 12 inches deep. The water was sucked into the engine which seized the engine causing over $1,500.00 in damages. The good new for us is that the client called me and asked me to call the local BMW dealer to get advice. I called the BMW dealer and he suggested that the client does not try to start the motorcycle. He should have it towed to their shop. When I relayed this to the client the client then wanted to speak with the BMW dealership directly. I gave him the phone number and the client called the BMW dealer directly. He told the BMW dealer the same story he told me and I now we have an unbiased witness that he dropped the bike into a puddle of water while the engine was running. Thus, implicating himself as being responsible for the damages. The client took our full coverage insurance which has a $2,500 deductable in the event of a ?Comprehensive? claim. The client was given a verbal example of a comprehensive claim. He was told that ?an example of a comprehensive claim is if you drop the motorcycle accidentally as opposed to a collision?. Collision claims have a $0 (zero) deductable but a police report is required. The bottom line is the client is claiming that the bike engine seized by itself and had nothing to do with being dropped in water. He has refused to accept responsibility for his negligence and has disputed both the rental charges and the damage charges on his credit card bill. American Express has a policy that we just discovered. we can not use their card for damage deposits and they told us to take the client to small claims court. From now on we will not use American Express for damage deposits and will try to avoid using them for anything! I know how to sue him in San Francisco small claims court but how to I go about getting him served to appear in San Francisco? Also, if I win how do I collect? Any help is appreciated!
