New rider, new area, looking for riding input

[Ballsnark]

Holy moly, I didn't realize it'd been about ten days already since you guys posted... sorry about that.

pschuler, yeah I'm down for DH riding. I've done some shuttling up around Frederick a couple times. I just need to put on my new parts for the season and I'm ready to ride.

the dude, thanks a ton for the skinny on the roads. I'll try and hit them Friday when the weather clears up a bit. Thanks for the offer, but my biggest problem is that I live in an apartment building with an attached parking garage. I have no room for a REAL trailer, so I'm trying to figure out how to get a folding one. I've found a couple. Anybody know much about one like this?

In other words, would I regret buying one.

[phoo]

I don't know about that one, but I've used an official Trailer-in-a-Bag and it did its job fine and the person who owns it used it for a Harley for hundreds of miles at a time.

That said, I found it to be wobbly and I never felt comfortable towing it. Maybe I'd get used to it. Maybe I'm just spoiled by always having tight trailers. But, I decided I would most likely never get one myself.

YMMV, of course.
