Default Motorcycle racing with my TrailManor!

Just back from Willow Springs International Racetrack - 3 days of Motorcycle Instructing and racing with my TrailManor. Brought my Suzuki VanVan along as a pit bike and even got to put a few laps in on her! TrailManor performed beautifully!

- here is the link to the post from how I added my Motorcycle Hitch to my Trail Manor.

Nice. I'm really curious what it does to your tongue weight though. Do you need to compensate by putting some heavy items in the front of the TM? Just curious here.

I wish I could do this with the motorcycle that I want but it’s over 8ft long and weighs over 600lbs…

Very cool. I want to do something similar with mine. I have a couple small dirt bikes and a dual motorcycle hitch carrier.

In your other post you said:
Quote:
My biggest concern was and still is TM sway and fishtailing while under tow because I have added almost 400lbs to the rear. My plan B was to add an anti sway tow accessory to my front hitch to possibly rectify that scenario. So far unnecessary. ... All this said - yes it works, no it doesn't fishtail at speeds upto 60mph and I don't notice the additional weight when towing.
After towing with this setup some more have you noticed any stability issues? Did you ever add a weight distributing hitch and notice if it helped? Did you have issues over 60mph / what's the top speed you were able to safety tow at?
