Richard are you towing the trailer during these videos?

And Mrs Rover, is she with you as well?...I see two helmets.

The FJ looks fast, it is doing a wheelie standing still

And someone emailed about sending you an oil filler cap in Cairns (I have been there). They wanted to know how fast I could get it to you. I suggested going to a hardware store and getting an expandable rubber plug to get you on the road. I hope that info got back to you.

Thanks Randy but I have a plastic plug in it for now.  And yes have the wife and trailer in tow in the videos.

Richard,

I would love to know more about your trailer hook-up!

How does it tow?  Gold Wingers tell me they can hardly tell that they are towing a trailer, but of course that's with their 900lb/400kg bikes. How does it affect the handling?  (I'd be riding two up as you are.)

Also, how the heck did you install a hitch to your FJ???  I've got a similar set up as you with hard bags and a top case on an '89.

Thanks!

Enjoy your trip, it looks like a good one!

Mark remind me later and i will post some pix of the hitch. You sure know the trailer is there but you get used to it. My ball height is to high I think and you have to push in on the twisties. This is my first run with it and I plan some changes. There is a place in Yandina Queensland that makes hitches for bikes but mine is a modified 84 hutch most likely home made.

Thanks Richard, I will do that. 

Happy trails till then.
