One Seriously Mean "Touring" Setup

Not sure if this belongs here or in touring but looks like a seriously mean setup ... the trailer is an Extrawheel Voyager BTW.

I wonder what it is like in a crosswind.

It's like a Ferrari with a roofbox.  Not right, but undeniably cool.

Bloody frightening I should think.

It's the disc wheel on the Extrawheel that baffles me.

Fast bike + Extrawheel makes a lot of sense if you want to ride somewhere, camp and have a fast bike to do fast bikey things with.  Seems a bit gratuitous for that to have a disc, thobut.  Of course, there's logic for having a rear wheel in the Extrawheel which can be easily swapped with the bike, in order to have a wider range cassette for towing.  In which case a normal wheel in the bike and a disc in the trailer would make sense.  I reckon it's all about the bling.

They are wheel covers in any case but they do look good.
Wheel meet again, don't know where, don't know when...
