Hey guys, This winter I'm going to be driving about 1500 miles over the span of 2 weeks with the bikes on my 3 rail trailer. Starting in FL and ending in KY but going through maryland. How would you guys suggest protecting my SDR from the salt and road grime of the MID ATLANTIC winters. I was thinking about throwing some shrink wrap on it. Tacky i know but effective. I have a cover for it but im worried about it flapping and rubbing plastic parts. What would you guys do?

NE winter? What NE winter - ? Maryland is south of the Mason-Dixon line, and technically the south (or Southeastern US) - same for Kentucky and the states between them - lol. Not a whole lot of salt thrown down between there and Kentucky, as it doesn't get all that much snow and ice. Some years, being much worse than others. Maybe in the mountains - I dunno ... On those bad occasions - especially in SE states, you really shouldn't be on the road with a trailer anyway ... people down that way don't have a clue how to drive in the winter-shit. Your bigger concern are the sand and rocks that will be thrown up on the bike, which always the case, worse in winter.

Solution: enclosed trailer. OK, if not an option: Wax the fook out of the thing - and keep it waxed. Wash often, as in, pretty much any time its exposed to the slushy stuff.

These folks claim to have "trailerable" bike covers. I've owned a couple of their covers, but have never used one on a trailer (and frankly, I don't think the ones I have should be considered all that "trailerable" ...).

Good luck!

Haha yeah man, i guess i should have said Mid Atlantic? but western maryland/ west virgina gets dumped on all winter. Two winters ago we had 300+inches in a winter. They use lots of cinders/sand on the roads. If its not snowing the roads will be wet with that crap. I'm aware about the other drivers on the road sucking during the winter, been driving in snow a while now. Thanks for the input!
