“I hate trailers.”
Recently Jason “Jay” Baxley published a post on Facebook touting his favorite “tow rig,” a ’97 Acura Integra GSR with over 250,000 miles on the odometer. Hanging out of the white Honda’s hatchback was a rough-and-ready Yamaha SuperJet, the next image, a white KLR. He told The Watercraft Journal, “I had [the GSR] for close to 6 years. A friend of mine had it for 10 years before I got it.”
Although Jay has towed with it, admitting, “It has a receiver hitch, and when I moved from Tennessee I put everything in the car and my KLR on a trailer and my SuperJet inside,” he hauls his standups in the car more often than not – and its been that way for some time. “When I first stared riding, I towed my two Kawasaski stand ups.”
An avid standup rider, Jay participates in freeride events and some races. “It is been to the Daytona Freeride. (That was the farthest trip – from Knoxville, Tennessee to Daytona.) It’s been to the Lake Hartwell race (Georgia). And it’s been to Naples twice for both Pro Watercross World Championships.”
His anti-trailer exploits expand beyond the Acura. “I also have put a square nose inside a CRV. I’ve also put ‘Blaster and a Backie Chan into the back of a Suburban. I hate trailers.”
