That's fine, I never really loved New Belgium outside of some of their "weird" special series of bombers that used brett yeast.

 

I was a fan of their voodoos

 

Bummer.

Rarely (perhaps never?) does something good come out of a large beverage company acquiring a small brewer. Quality of ingredients usually goes down along with uniqueness of flavors. They usually stop experimenting with unique recipes as corporate profits trump innovation and creativity.

Blue moon and leinekugel are two perfect examples of microbrews I used to like. They sold out and havent released anything noteworthy since.

 

Blue Moon has always been Coors from the inception. One of those micros created at Coors field back when it 1st opened. I remember that from having to suffer through a Brewery tour of the Golden facility from before I was legal, about the same time rocks were invented.

 

I actually did not know that...for some reason I had in my head that they were an independent brewer. I recall when it went from pop top to twist off, which was right around the time I turned 21 and stopped drinking it. I pretty much avoid anything screw top when it comes to beer.

 

I just saw that, was going to post it as well

 

Happy Tuesday night, yall.

 

Exactly

 

I like the concept but I am apprehensive of the outcome. Sleeping in your shirt will make it wrinkly and I worry suit shorts have not made it into acceptable office attire yet.

 

Even had Taylor on the mug!

 

Hey guys i have a question, what do you personally value a trailer like the xventure at? It seems like NO ONE buys them except for instagram influencers or guys in the industry of offroading. Ive personally never seen one on the road.

It seems like the price tag is a bit insane, so i want to ask you guys, at what price point would you begin to seriously consider buying one?

For example, heres their base model xv-2, its STARTING price is $15,495.00


And here is one im sure we all recognize, the owner told me he had upwards of $30,000 in this trailer (not including the boat and motorcycle)


If you had a need for A trailer like these, what price would NOT give you sticker shock?

 

$1,500. I would still probably shutter a bit.

 

Depends on the features for reasonable price point.

Just a box/base model, like the xv-2 you pictured, I'd like to see around $3,000 for steel, and obviously more for aluminum. Granted that might not be profitable to sell.

If you deck the thing out with water system/solar system/slides and storage/lights etc., I'd say $12,000 to $15,000 for a top end (aluminum) version.

For reference, I built my trailer with pretty much all the features you'd want for around $8k. Probably could have done it cheaper, but meh, it's still waayyyy cheaper than buying anything on the market with comparable specs.

 

No features, more of a dirtbike/ motorcycle/ atv trailer that can get your bikes to the trails without breaking or slowing you down and not looking goofy while it does it.

what i cant seem to find anywhere for sale is a trailer to get my motorcycle to my favorite camping spots without it having tiny 12” tires or a 15k price tag.

Empty box with high clearance and built for off-roading and a roof rack for a RTT that can still have your bikes underneath.
Thats what im going for.

 

This would work. Just need to build a rack for the tent. Preferably replace the pintle hitch for something with less slop.

These types of trailer pass through CL regularly, so maybe shop around. Granted, they are a little wide, so might not be ideal depending on where you want to take it camping

 

Yea ive owned one of those and it was terrible, and they arent actually long enough to put a bike in. They weight 3x what a purpose built trailer would weight and the deck height is as high as a truck bed so loading my 500 pound adventure bike would be just as difficult.

I appreciate the feedback. What weight rating is the axle you used for your trailer?

 

For basic model, kind of like the CL posting of @mreimann posted, i'd go $1k maybe $2k

 

Yah those military guys are stupid tall.

I've got a 5,000 lb with brakes. Ordered it custom from a trailer supply here in town to suit my build.

Have you thought about getting a bike hauler, and just putting bigger tires/axle/fenders on it? Depends on what capabilities you have or want to pay for, but that wouldn't be too much effort.
