The little trailers that UHaul rents are terrible behind their box trucks. Absolutely horrible driving experience, because of the short tongues and trailer stance.
In the box, nearish the back, and as mentioned don't use the kickstand. Compress the forks/shocks when you strap it down, you should be fine. Take it for a nice long ride before you go, so you travel with an almost empty tank to get the weight down a little lower. Kurt On Oct 29, 2014 2:50 PM, "Phil" <[email protected]> wrote: > 1.
