[QUOTE="rezrider, post: 143503, member: 79"] I don't recall ever teling this one so here goes.... I'm sure some of you have experienced something to this. Now this happened waaaaay back shortly after getting married (mid 80's) we're on our way to the dez the truck is packed with gear, bikes are loaded onto the trailer and off we go but first we stop for gas... we fuel up, get some snacks and a drink and off we go, we pull up to the first light about 1/2 mile down the street when a guy pulls up on the left and asks "did you USED to have 2 bikes on your trailer?"... (WTF.... as I focus is on the words USED to.....) yeah, why??? he says, well, you dropped one off back at the station when you pulled out, it was in the middle of the road so I moved it into the median.. my response to that was "FUUUUUUUUUUUUUDGE" which was NOT what I actually said. THANKS, I appreciate that, spun around on the green and went to retrieve it. When I pull up I see 1 end of a tie down still attached to the handle bars and 1 still on the trailer..... I dig out some rope from the truck, load it back up and tie it down so it'll never fall off ever EVER again... tied both bikes together so if one goes they both go... :shocked: . did a cursory (sp?) check of the remaining tie downs, they look good and NOW off we go again..... slight damage to 1 grip is all that happened. Ever since then I've always been leary of using a trailer no matter how new the tie downs are... True story! :thumb: [/QUOTE]
