It's brand new so I'm just hoping that it'll not s*** the bed on the way out there... lol, better have my AAA card handy though :-/

AERO TRAILER UPDATE (pics attached):

I have to decrease the nose size to be just inside the trailer footprint. The most important reason is structural integrity. I'm just concerned that this thing will be too flimsy once I get some strong lateral wind on it.
Also, it'll save me some PVC... I'm starting to run out of it, and don't want to make another trip to Lowe's.

Looking good though. I just need to make the final nose and tail sections, and I'm set... The next challenge will be figuring out how I will get the bike in there, and any other stuff I throw under the enclosure... Not sure if I should make a door, or turn the tail section into a hinge somehow.
