[QUOTE="530ktm, post: 37114, member: 586"] I have a Kendon 3 rail folding trailer I have used a lot for the last 3 years. I tow it behind my Jeep Wrangler and it is great as it tows very nicely, has torsion bar suspension that works great and folds up and goes in my garage. Yesterday coming home from a day of riding I was coming down the 15 freeway in the slow lane and the traffic was moving along at 25 mph. Traffic usually sucks along there on Sunday afternoons. I just looked in my mirror and the bikes were riding along just like they always do and then suddenly I hear this loud scraping and grinding noise. I look in my side mirror and spinning around in a shower of sparks in the lane next to me is my sons CRF 150R.:foul:A big rig is about 2 feet from running the thing over as I pull over and run back but he manages to stop just in time. I am still in shock from this happening as I have towed bikes ranging from little kid bikes to Harleys on trailers for years. Apparently the tie down hook came out of the flat mounted hook point when the bikes suspension would compress and it ejected the bike off the side of the trailer. I am now going to redesign the hook point on the trailer so they attach differently. Amazingly the bike landed on the left side and the hand guard and axle nut took all the abuse.
