:) If you use photobucket then click on IMG CODE and then paste over here.

For ours start your album. First click on album and about 1/3 of the way down there is a your personal album.

Click upload---browse and choose a picture. Pictures must be jpeg and I make mine about 600 px wide.
There are picture resizers at the top of Newbies (scroll Trippers thread)

Now click on the thumbnail, right click on the url address, copy the resulting url.

In the "Post a Reply" click on Img, right click and paste, then click on Img or close tags. That should get you there.

If you need further help just let us know.
:twisted: :twisted: we really love the pictures. :thumbsup:

Sorry to hear about your trouble.

After you finally get a solution, you might take a few minutes and read Steve Tripp's photo posting explanations.

Some other sites, if Photobucket is unsuccessful.

www.picasaweb.google.com/
www.flikr.com/
www.photolava.com/
www.snapfish.com/
www.imageshack.us/
www.SmugMug.com/
www.shutterfly.com/

Or just google " free photohosting sites", if you don't like any of these.

Good luck, I hope it works out for you. :thumbsup:

Postby MARVIN THOMPSON » Fri Dec 19, 2008 10:36 am

LITTLE LATE ON POSTING. I HAD A VW TRIKE. THAT I PUT A 4X4 TRAILER WITH A CARGO BOX ON IT. BIGGEST FOR ONE, FOR THE SIZE OF THE TRAILER. FOR K OF MILES AND NEVER HAD ANY TROUBLE. I NOW HAVE A CHEVY 2.8 L REAR WHEEL DRIVE TRIKE. THAT I PULL A 4X8 WOODY TEAR DROP WITH. I TALKED TO MAN THAT PULLED A GLASS 4X8 TD BEHIND A GOLD WING FROM PA TO CALF. AND BACK WITH NO TROULBE. 1500CC IS A LOT POWER STOP IS SOMETHING ELSE. GOOD LUCK

bike td

Postby John T. Hodgen » Fri Dec 19, 2008 2:50 pm

Hi Everyone,
After my teardrop is done :oops: , I think I'll build one(Little) to pull behind my 2000 1500cc Kawasaki Nomad. Thought on braking---You can(?) :thinking: install electric brakes on trailer so the td doesn't override your bike. But I think it would be hard to actuate and maintain control unless you had so sort of micro-switch attached to our brake pedal. Also :thinking: a good fabicator could adopt motorcycle brake disc/caliper and have it quick connected/flex hose to bike's hydraulics, but it might require extra bleeding before :thumbdown: the trip. Something to think about. As far as cost goes--anything worthwhile may cost more in the short but worth it in the long run. I've spent alot more $$$ on a night of Partying at Bikeweek than on my Teardrop LOL :thinking: Good luck on your build and get MOMMA'S input on curtains ;) and how together you both will accomplish it, helps with those late nights in the garage. :lol: :thumbsup:

The dotted line is a 'full-size' 10ft x 4ft Cub trailer. The little one is sized to get two side panels out of one 8x4 sheet:

PM me your email address if you want the PDFs of geometry and construction.

To send you what I've got on the Mini-Cub, you'll need to send me your email address. This is a pretty old design and while it has some construction details, I think they're not ideal.
