" . 00 M Q.) ,.0 a Q.) u Q.) Q When Mr. and Mrs. Claus aren't out in their reindeer sled, they're on the full dress road sled. But when they need to carry it somewhere, they use a Tuff 'n Lite® King Size bike trailer. They like it, and if you ask nicely he might bring one. This new addition to the Tuff 'n Lite® line carries any motorcycle up to 1,000 pounds and 72 inches in wheelbase. The low center of gravity makes loading and transporting a big bike on this trailer both easy and safe. Because structural members are made of high-strength low-alloy steel, Tuff 'n Lite® Trailers are stronger yet light. They're assembled with aircraft type fasteners and include Bearing Buddy® wheel bearing protectors, which eliminate wheel bearing repacking and give a two year limited warranty. Manufacturer's suggested retail price on the King Size Trailer, Model MCIBI, is $419. For more information contact Unique Funqional Products, Dept.
