benny, alot of trailers are not wide enough to permit side by side loading unless you offset them, that is why you see alot of times one loaded front first and one backwards, so look into that issue (if you can load them side by side 8' is ok if not you will need 10') and decide what you are comfortable with. if it is an open trailer, it might not be a problem to get them far enough apart that the bars dont touch?? but it might be a problem to tie them down right?? someone said to tie the from the trees, rather that the bars, and with this size bike that is best. for sure you want the kickstand up, think about it hahahaha if something happened and the stand was down and and it got broken....now you got nuthin!!!! stand up is best!!! you want to secure the front wheel either with a couple pieces of 2x4(one on each side of tire) or strap it to the trailer frame so it cant twist cuz if it can turn it will. strap it down tight at both ends and will be alright. have fun at Pats and i hope to see you in Ga.
oh yea, and i totally understand the reasons, i have mine also!!!! aaarrrggggghhhhhhhhh
