I should have listened to Greg (I think it was Greg, but I think someone else mentioned wheel walking and I'm too tired to look through the whole thread again).

Everything worked out but the front tire did walk to the left a bit against the 2x4s I had used up front to bolster the front wall of the trailer. Also on the right side, those fancy little clips I used with the rope to secure the sissybar broke.

Unloading I didn't use my makeshift ramp at all and I did it all by myself. I had some time to kill once I got to Great Falls. I stopped at a shopping center that had built-up mounds with grass in the dividers around the parking lot. Found one tall enough, backed the trailer up to it and offloaded the bike. Piece. Of. Pie.

All in all there are only three things I would have changed. I should have found a small hill to load the bike instead of that dang ramp, I should have put too boards on the front 2x4s to hold the wheel in place (it wouldn't have taken much) and last, used tie downs in the back from the side of the trailer to the sissybar.

This isn't even the most annoying thing that happened to me today. But that deserves a fresh thread and a good night's sleep...
