HI Chris!
regarding the car ruts in sand .. well I thought about it before .I thought Its gonna be hard .. I struggle to ride on sand with a clean bike , so probbably Its impossible for me doing it with the tralier.´
having said that .. I tested in niamey in some streets which are exactly like sand tracks (two big ruts for the cars, etc) and the tralier wheels are so narrow that they "dig" so they dont slide sideways in sand . basicly the bike rides in either rut , and the trailer follows the bike without falling in either rut. I am not exactly sure why , but It works. And If I can do , anyone can , as I am absolutely inexperienced with motobikes (as told before , I didnt even knew where the gear lever was on a bike , a few days before starting the trip !!)
-of course neither motorbike driving license .. but that´s another story-
anyway ... The good thing about this idea is that Its so cheap that if anything goes very wrong .. then I simply discard/sell the tralier .and keep on driving normally
When I finish the trip (and I try this time to get to capetown in one go) Ill send you lots of interesting *unconventional* stories about my trips .And I got lots !!
Well , in one month .. we will see if this was a good idea or a horribe one !!
have a nice day !
Javier
