Ha Ha..........You guys make me laugh a lot.  Sometimes I don't get it but that's OK too.

Absolutely not !  This is the answer to putting bags in my Spyder !  Actually .....I have been thinking of a trailer that is like a "Low Rider".  One that will lower completely down to the ground so that I could drive the Spyder on to it such that it would hardly be noticed that it's over a trailer.  Then raise it.  I've been using my scale model Spyder to play with a "T" trailer but scrapped that Idea. The Spyder is about 5' wide. That gives me 1.5' on each side to incorporate air bags and linkage and stay inside 8' wide.  perhaps do it all in aluminum.

This is how I put myself to sleep at night !...............Bruce

Take a look at Futura Trailers. They have a pulley system that is used to raise and lower the trailer right at the hub. They used to use winch cable but have switched to, I believe, nylon rope. I'm not sure why because I would think that with most people storing trailers outside the cable would last longer but I'm not an engineer just a guy who sees all of the trailers rotting away in the storage yard where my trailer is stored.
