Keen on setting yourself up for a comfortable ride to the race track and an effective day on it?
You could perhaps do no better than to purchase a Kea Trailer, the preferred pit headquarters for such notable racers here in New Zealand as Brad Groombridge and Callan May.
Both Groombridge and May, equally talented riders on the cross-country, enduro and motocross scenes in New Zealand, rely on Kea Trailers for their support and it’s certainly something that other riders could consider.
Kea Trailers NZ Ltd is the leading light trailer manufacturer in New Zealand and has more than 35 years’ of experience in the industry and company owner Tony Head knows a thing or two about the needs of motorcycle racers, with his own son, Seton Head, also a potent force on the national motocross and cross-country race scene.

For as little as $2500 you could equip yourself with a standard box trailer and then, for an additional $490 you could add a bike rack attachment.
“This is a most cost-effective option,” said Tony Head.
“The trailer can be used in so many ways, to move furniture, for example, during the week and then quickly converted to a bike trailer.”
For $3200 you could have a dedicated bike trailer, capable of hauling 3-4 bikes. A fuel compartment could be added and a storage box fitted to the draw bar to carry equipment such as helmet and boots.
“Beyond that, we also manufacture an enclosed trailer, costing between $9000 and $10,000, depending on what features you want installed.

“These are fibreglass and are light to tow, easily sign-written and totally sealed and secure.
“People are often buying these to use as mobile work stations by builders and other tradesmen. Schools and sports clubs also buy these. There are no limits really to how these can be used.
“You could install with beds and kitchen fittings and it could be used as a mobile home.”
Here’s a chance to look and act like a pro motocross rider, perhaps on a smaller scale than the big-rig truck and trailer units that the Yamaha or Honda factories park in the AMA Motocross paddock or at MotoGP races, but just as effective at New Zealand club or national championship events.
