Just thought I should say Hi and introduce myself.
Live in Toowoomba, Australia, Silver 2006 with an Ultralight Trailer and Bushtec Towbar. lots of towing experience, (caravans, boats, car trailers and trail bikes etc), but new to bike towing so starting with a small lightweight trailer. The Wing holds plenty of gear, so bigger bulky stuff is in the trailer.
Hopefully I can share some knowledge on this board and learn more about bike towing issues.
Cheers,
Trev.

Hi Trev, I would love to ride in Australia some day. If you could post up some ride reports (with pics of course) I'm sure many here would love to read them.

Thanks Guys,
Have posted some pics. Must admit I am pretty slack when it comes to stopping and taking pics. Just get talking to the locals, next thing I am off again.
Here is a pic of the bike at Dunmarra, (Northern Territory on the Stuart Highway). 533 klms to the 1st overnight stop when I left Darwin heading back to Mt Isa.
I rode solo from Toowoomba to Darwin in 3 days. (3287 klms). Got to see the grandkids!
Left Darwin heading south for Mt Isa and on to Townsville. (2490 klms). Stopped for 2 days to enjoy the beach.
Townsville, (heading north) to Cairns. (346 klms). A really short hop this time! Then 75 klms to Port Douglas. Stayed at a place called Ellis Beach coming out of Cairns. (see pic with palms waving). Nice secluded spot.
Pretty much headed homewards after that driving down the east coast, reluctantly, over a few days. Logged up 9125 klms over 15 days. Fantastic ride. Camped and also used Cabins and Motels. (trip cost $2200.00). The weather was superb, clear skies, warm but not too uncomfortable.
You will need a map of Australia to make any sense out of this.
Have also incuded a pic of the bike at the Darwin River Dam.

It all just folds out! Nope. There is a towbar on the other end. Nope.
OK, its a real cabin.
