What's the issue? If your talking about the trailer itself yeah it looks a little odd with old looking wood and no sides for safety other then that

We just had bike week in Daytona. It was pretty cold for those weeks in FL, many trailered their bikes down so it may have been from that event?

I've trying to find the story about a Corvette accident yesterday early morning in the Orlando area.

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.
