So I retired and sold my business in January. I decided with all my new found time if I want to go any long distances with my car I needed a good trailer. This is a Triton all aluminum tilt 7x12 it weighs 745 empty with a 2995 gvwr. as you can see the mini fits perfectly on it.
I'm working on getting some custom tie downs from Mac's Custom Tie Downs, stay tuned on that.

Very nice!  Perfect for a mini.  What is the ramp situation?

Looks like a tilt bed?

Are you planning to go to MME in Asheville this June? Car looks fab!

Congrats on your "retirement"?
Complete failure at retirement - but getting better!

So answers to the questions; it's a tilt bed, however I have a couple of wedge ramps that prevent the bed from tilting too much or it hits the front license plate driving up.
I won't make Ashville this year, my wife already had a trip planned around that time. I have a tentative plan to go up to Stowe, VT for the British Invasion it's a 5 hour drive so it should be perfect for that.
The retirement thing is pretty good so far, I'm liking the "every day is Saturday" thing. I owned my bike shop for forty years and four months, I believe I only missed working on Saturday a dozen times, lots of projects to finish....

Thinking about adding an electric winch or anything in case you're broke down and can't simply drive it on?
