[QUOTE="Dangerous Dave, post: 49798, member: 1299"] I have one of the Harbor Freight jobs as well and it's done an excellent job for me. I bought the one with the 12" wheels rather than the 8" since I knew all my towing would be fairly long highway trips...not the least of which being 1000 miles in a day with my 800 lb VTX1800 on its back! Paid less than $200 for the trailer and spent another $75 or so on the plywood for the deck, weather sealer for the aforementioned plywood deck, and wheel chocks. Oh yeah, and another $35 for a spare wheel and tire. The tilt function of the deck is about useless due to the location provided for mounting the license plate. If you tilt the bed, you smash the plate! Stupid. I already had a nice aluminum ramp anyway. Other than that it's done an excellent job for me over the last few years. And as you mentioned, when not in use, I fold it up, stand it up, and shove it against the garage wall out of the way and out of the weather. Works for me and I've worked it hard!! [/QUOTE]
