Have seen pics of Vettes pulling small trailers, personal water crafts, etc. Not something I would do, but looks like it worked for him.

Well, it's like this----if you really use your car for more than going 10 miles from home now and then, you'd be surprised how valuable a small trailer becomes. We're going on a 6 week Rt 66 trip in a few weeks and plan on having the top down most of the time. Our small motorcycle cargo trailer will hold our clothes, a good sized cooler, camping stove, food and some heavier coats for those chilly mornings. Anything else we can think of will also have a "home" in the trailer.
I agree with those that have garage ornament cars-- who needs a trailer? When it's hooked up, it makes the garage ornament too long for most garages!

I'm betting $50 that picture was taken in Georgia. That's a licensed car dealer's tag.
I used those all the time moving cars from place to place. You pay the tax to the plate (you get a set coded to your dealership), and you can hook it to anything you want (supposed to be business purposes) but some dealers hook it to their personal assets and drive around without paying annual Ad Valorem tax on anything from a pickup truck to a Ferrari. (Which for reference in Atlanta the Ad Valeorum tax on my '01 Zo6 last year was $350...it's based on the vehicle's book value and can be steep)
No comment on the trailer.... I'm teaching something new today (to a few) about the plate.

To call a V-rod american is pushing the limits. I'm a HUGE harley fan (but just sold mine to get the vette). However, the v-rod engineering and several components are anything but american. Personally, I think they should stick to what they do best...fat, loud and relatively slow cruisers. NOTE: I emphasize "personally" as in just my own opinion.
PS. I didn't mean to steal the thread , just wanted to clear the v-rod thing up.

I like this idea. He could have used a better trailer, but all in all it works for him.
Best way to live in the HD & Vette world at once.
The V rod motor was a joint venture, developed by Porsche & HD. It's has a ton of torque and goes like hell.
This motor or some version will someday be in every HD. The traditional air cooled V Twin HD power plant can hardly meet omission's laws in most areas.
This beast is liquid cooled and so far very reliable, you can also mod the hell out of it to make fantastic HP.

Its funny I have owned both Harley and Victory motorcycles, I will tell you my 16K Victory ran alot better then my 25K Ultra did and its more American made then my harley :-)
Harley back in the day was the bike to have, but there service and product has gown down hill. When ever I went in for somehting no matter what it was it alwasy cost me over $100....There saying is H.D stands for Hunderd Dollar Bill.
If you look at all there merchandise its made in china, most of there parts you buy are made in china :-(
Anyone can say MADE in America, ask them where the parts where made :-)
Cheers!
