To me, it looks like it's not tied down proper.

It's called a pocket trailer - it folds up.

Crossing the A5 A43 junction at Towcester a couple of weeks ago I spotted an 1800 Gold Wing and sidecar combo. towing a trailer with a BSA (650 I think) and sidecar. 
If only I could have grabbed a camera, but I was in motion on the K at the time.

Yeah, but someone once said that after the Earth's nuclear Armageddon,some of the the only things left will be cockroaches and brick engines.
After they both burn out, boxer engines will be the only thing left.
That's a fact Jack.
Stay upright.
