It's Trailer Time!




Well the new Geezer Gears Racing Trailer is now officially done.  We ended up with the Genesis 23SS model, and that should be enough room to take our bike, gear, tools, and crew from race to race in style.

Now comes the hard part - the drive to Mesa, Arizona to pick it up.  We still have D-Rings, a Pit Bull Trailer Restraint System, back-up cameras, load stabilizers, etc., that still need to be installed, but we're hopeful that we can be heading back home early next week.  I thought Pueblo was hot - they are expecting 105 degrees+ every day that we're down there.

I've been reading the on-line copy of the owner's manual.  There's a lot to know and a lot that could go wrong with this puppy.  As our wives say, the chances of something going wrong is greatly amplified when Roger and I are working together on a project!  I know I'm bucking the trend by reading the instructions, but for a small racing team like ours we need to take extra care of our new toy, ah, trailer....

Don't know what we'll call it - maybe that should be a contest for our Geezer Gears Blog readers!  At 30 feet there is a lot of room on the side for any sponsors who would like to step up and buy a spot on the trailer - including the coveted back door spot!  Shoot me an email if you are interested.

I'll be blogging / Tweeting / Instagramming our (mis-) adventures along the way so stay tuned!




On a more serious note we'd like to pass along our condolences to the family of Carl Sorensen who died during practice at the 2015 Pikes Peak Hill Climb.  Carl ran the tech inspections on race day for the Motorcycle Racing Association in Colorado.  There is a Memorial Fund that has been set up to help offset the family's financial burden:
