Those trailers that are half toolbox/half tire rack are nifty--one of my instructors at BIR had one. I've been having my brother drive another vehicle up each time but that won't always be possible.

Not sure why, but all the banter in this thread makes me smile!

Can't wait to see this thing in person someday. I'm still jealous. Wish I could afford a C5!

If I had a truck and a boat I don't think I would be able to afford it either!

Truck boat truck?

I thought you were talking about one of them hitch buddy's? It goes in the hitch and has a little stand that is like a 3x2 ft square. That with a ratchet strap should secure a set of wheels and tires and tool box.
I couldn't find it on google, sorry.

Nope, a small trailer, avoids extra weight on the rear suspention and provides room to bring tools and such without cramming them in the car.

Broke a valve spring today. Bent a push rod too (due to broken spring). Got lucky as fork and didn't bend a valve from what I can tell. Apparently breaking a spring isn't too un-common. Time for a new set.

That sucks, but at least its an easy fix with no bent valves.

stock replacement? the guy at schneider cams said valve springs don't last/loose their rated pressures after more than 5 years and should be replaced at that interval.
