Trailers - and hauling them

[Joe13]

I never could figure out why a guy can jump out of his little Kia soul and get in the cab of his 40ft Winnebago and drive it with the same license

That's a whole new topic but I agree 100%.

Same with large u-hauls...

FORMER Mopar aficionado?? What happened, you forget your bicycle??

No, I decided to leave before I would consider owning a Fiat.

Never had one of my Darts or Cudas let me down. And I can't recall a mustang that ever got a look at more than their taillights either.
Although there was a guy in Texas with a '69 CJ that did manage to beat my 340 on the 2rd try, but I missed 3rd gear on that pass. I still beat him 2 out of 3 before the night was over.

The only guys that hated my Cudas more than the mustang drivers were,...
The Camaro drivers.

HA!

Oh, and every car in the driveway still wears a Pentastar. I just prefer the older stuff.

I've been in some insanely fast cars that were daily drivers.

One of my best friends traded a <10 sec Viper (too much torque for the PNW) for an STI on steroids he built that was not only fast in the 1/4 mile but was a ball to race around PIR in

The fastest anything I ever owned was a crotch rocket.

I forgive ya!

Ah yes, the famous Chrysler Fiatsco. A sad day indeed.

I see so many people hauling trailers wrong.

You have to have a motorcycle endorsement - IMO you should have to have one to drive a trailer of any size.

I often smack my head and stay well away from the idiots.

Trailers and rental trucks scare the hell out of me! Especially rental trucks!

As a motorcyclist, I know most people are self-involved drivers. But I am extra cautious around 2 types of vehicles.

1. All RV
- pickups with boats included
2. U-Haul, Ryder, Penske, etc.

That's Unbelievable !!!

Nothing will beat the crap out of your bumper faster
than a short tongue on a utility trailer.

My niece, who commutes daily on her BMW in the Sacto area, claims the most dangerous vehicle to motorcycles on any road is a mini-van driven by an Asian woman.

Sorry, but that's what she says. And she's not the least bit racist. She says in her experience, they just have no respect for motorcycles at all.

if you want to put a little pressure on some people

Redneck humor? Heck you can go to west Seattle and get as good or better show.

Watch some driving fail videos and you can tell the Asian populous doesn't give 2 (insert word here) about motor bikes.

They will cut one off, wreck the bike and keep on driving...

 

[Ura-Ki]

HA, We call it "Driving while Asian" down here! We also use that for any one so as not to sound raciest!

Why loading a trailer is just as important as how you tow it. This is a very self explanatory 13 seconds:

Take 13 seconds to watch this. It could save your life.

And you may notice, that's a Mustang (model) doing the towing.

When I've shopped for cars, a tow hitch is an instant deal killer
