Does anyone pull their scooter on a trailer?
Might be a silly question. But, I've seen trailers without sides on them.
How exactly are they tied down and are you afraid that it might fall off?

I built my own trailer which I bought at Harbor Freight.

(Make sure to buy the optional motorcycle rails and a spare tire)
Have the handlebars tied down with Canyon Dancer harness.

and the rear tied down just for added protection.
Works pretty well. Haven't lost them yet.  Though I am kind of paranoid and check every 50 miles or so.

Dang, Ellen, you're my Heroine! You know how to handle a toolbox! I was thinking about one of the thingies that attach to the back of your car, kinda looks like a bike carrier. Would be so great, especially if I ever wanna drive to Arizona & visit my Harley ridin' old girlfriend from hi-skool!

The Canyon Dancer strap is great. Makes it easier to tie down the front of the bike and won't scratch up your scoot.

I saw the coolest carrier today, one of those that goes on a trailer hitch. This thing kind of also pulled out to form it's own ramp. Heard they go for like $350, I want one baaaaaad!!! I'll find out exactly what they're called.

Well.. Perhaps.. Now if I can only figure out how to work on my scooter!!! 
Though I was so proud once I figured out how to change the spark plug
