Really? The indicators on the trailer are in the loom though - even if I blow an indicator bulb on the bike, the trailer bulbs will work. Unless you mean something else?

The problem with towing in the UK - there is so much disinformation / lack of information out there, it's a nightmare to try and obey the law!!

Cristo it'd need to be some right wanker of a copper to actually pull you over with this.

Any man worth their salt will see it & have a giggle & be a bit intrigued & theres nothing blatantly illegal ie you've got plates & lights, every bloke likes a little project & look at the attention it has got so far.

When are doing the big trip though?

I look forward to seeing you return because if it makes that journey then theres no doubt about its integrity then surely. 8)

Check this out too.

Seems your little beast could be a rare Van Weeghel or a Van Weeghel Zwolfe camping trailer, done up properly they fetch good money.

Check out the link to this baby on ebay

Cheers for that Noggy! As there is a model number on the plate (and Google reveals nothing on that one), I plan to email VW and ask.

As for the trip, 1300 miles in Europe, and in 2015, carting all my crap back from Uni (about 200 mile each way). I just hope this Fazer and the next one will survive!! :lol :lol

For foc's sake, don't tempt me! :lol :lol :lol

On a side note, a minor mystery has been cleared up. The trailer isn't a VW - it's a WW! The trailer (well, hitch at least) is made by Walter Winterhoff.
