For the bikers in the audiance

When we pulled into Tupalo we found a motel a bit off the beaten track (well, it was out of the main part of town, but close to the Natchez Trace). It had been pouring down rain for the previous hour, and it was dark. We found out later that this same storm had caused extensive flooding and even been responsible for several deaths further North. We were happy to find nice accommodations; initially we were somewhat worried by the characters that pulled in around the same time we did. One couple, however, did not worry us in the least. They were riding an older BMW R75/7 (I think) and had the neatest motorcycle trailer I have ever seen. I didn't get any pictures (wish I had) but I did get the name of the trailer, and talked to the owner in the morning. The trailer was designed and built for some years in New Zealand, and the company name was recently purchased and the trailer is now being manufactured here in the US. The owner sang high praises for the trailer, which, since it has only one wheel, handles exceptionally well. Their bike, trailer, and rain gear had kept them dry even in the nasty storm we had come through, together, as it turns out. We had our wipers on "high" for most of the storm -- it couldn't have been too much fun for them. I've been out in that kind of weather on a motorcycle, myself. Anyway, here's some links to the Uni-Go that I found on the Internet:
