My wife and I are looking to do some cross country travel this summer and fall maybe 3 - 8 weeks at a time. If I were going alone I'd take the ST only. My wife enjoys riding with me but clearly would prefer to ride in the car for long stretches and then ride locally once we find a base.
I know that in a perfect world an enclosed trailer would be preferable. Given my budget and the weight limits of my tow vehcile an open trailer makes more sense at the moment.
SO - I'm wondering how much, if any damage, occurs to the bike on an open trailer if you tow it 4,000 - 6,000 miles. My assumption would be that it gets dirty and crappy like it might if I were riding it. I'm trying to figure out if towing it exposes it to any extra type of potential damage.
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
