Well it’s been on ther for 5 years and never had a problem with theft.
I also own a lettered construction trailer, truck and cargo van all them with valuable tools inside.
never had a problem.
I just don't understand the desire, that's all, it's nothing personal.
A lettered construction trailer and truck is advertising that makes sense if you're looking to get business. If I was an electrician I'd probably advertise that on the side of my vehicles.
Putting giant manufacturer stickers on a trailer, on the other hand, assuming you don't work for Harley, is just free advertising for them. Maybe it's just me, but unless someone is paying me to advertise for them, I don't - much less paying for the privilege. I don't even like it when a car dealer puts their licence plate frames and decals all over a car that I paid for - I feel no obligation to provide them with free advertising.
As for theft, I work in an industry where it's well know that over-advertising what may be in the trailer is horribly unwise. I used to haul material that required a police escort from the factory to the highway due to previous gunpoint hijackings...and then we run as a group so there was protection in numbers if we needed to stop etc. The LAST thing we would have ever done was stick the companies name on the side of the trailer to advertise the high value nature of what was in it. Plain white unmarked trailers was the name of the game. Draw no attention.
It's the same reason you don't see trailers hauling full loads of (for example) iPhones full of iPhone advertisements all down the side.
Also what is with this stigma on this website about HD’s that don’t get ridden?
I just sold my 2006 HD with 103k considered normal.
my Dads 2006 Ultra Classic for sale with 65K considered low km.
Again, don't take it personal, but it is a thing. One only look as far as the buy and sell pages to see plenty of proof - I just took a glance at trader.ca and there's pages of 10 year old HD's with <20,000KM on them, and pages and pages and pages of 10 year old HD's with <40,000KM on them.
I know Metrics or all sorts are not exempt either..hell, my current bike was 12 years old when I bought it and had only 10,000KM on it, so it too was a garage queen. But there's a lot more non HD's/Metrics on the road vs HD's in the grand picture, so despite the fact you'll have no problem finding lots of metrics with stupid low mileages as well it doesn't tell an equal story.
It's awesome that you ride hard. I know a lot of HD riders who do the same and I respect that - personally, I don't care what you ride as long as you ride. I will admit I laugh at the rolling billboards however who ride to the Tims in the next town over to pose in the parking lot all day and average <1000KM a year.
