OT-Our tow trucks are an endangered breed !!!

Oh God! Now you have your work cut out modifying the Chushman.

'Guess we won't be seeing you in here for a few months!

If you sit in traffic with it long enough, it will sure feel like it does.

Nope, don't need to. Cushman made and still makes three and four wheelers.

Why even Roy wouldn't need training whe . . . . . well, . . . maybe _HE_ would.

I'll send you some pics, if you want.

Now, Mike, you're not talking to that eastern wabbit, you should say that correctly . . .try again . . ."Yea, Budd !!!!! Yea, Budd!!!"

Does a Goldwing come with heated seats? I ride American brands now, and real riders don't need them. Just ask Beekeeper.

Budd

I think those big touring bikes have jacks to plug in your electric pants!

beekeep

Now that's a real comforting thought . . . .plug in your pants, rolling along at 70 . . . . .pants short out . . . .

Roasted nuts.

Budd

Interesting bike... I don't think it will become the "standard", but it's going to make a lot of designers start thinking "outside the truck"..

I know you'll find this hard to believe, but last summer I saw a big ol' Goldwing with a old 8' Scamper camping trailer on back.

Yeah, it had CA plates on the trailer . . . . .I had to look. I guess they figured if it would hook to the ball, it could tow it. . . . . .Next year they're gonna put 5th wheel hitches on them????

If you've ever rode bikes, imagine that contraption in a crosswind . . . . . .

Budd

Interesting concept. It could work in fair weather areas as long as the car can drive up onto the carrier as it did in the demo. Oh, the car can drive? I didn't see a winch at work, did I miss something?

FMB

As I understood the video, they use 12 V battery powered hydraulics to lift the wheels so a hydraulic motor could run a winch.

IIRC, there are very few tow trucks that use mechanical winches these days anyways, so the technology is available.

Budd

eastern wabbit? just stuff a couple of warm rabbits up your pants (falling apart at the gut) rach

might keep it on the road... I've been on some high passes in cross winds where you're leaning over so far, you wonder if you'll fall over if the wind stops..

Yep, he's an eastern wabbit, short ears, short tail, fat belly, short . . . . .nose, as compared to these Jackwabbits out here in the west, with the long ears and all that.

Had a kitten run up a pant leg back when I was ten . . . .thought I'd die of massive cat scratch fever. Ya see, back then in Indiana, it was hot and muggy in the summer time so we didn't usually wear any BVDs . . . . . .

Budd

Here kitty kitty....... here kitty kitty...... ROTFLMAO.... Budd, that isn't the way you play with four legged kittens... LOL, even at ten.

FMB

I know, but I was napping under the apple tree that beautiful afternoon after lunch and the durn thing (it belonged to a neighbor, btw) decided the leg of those cut-off jeans was a good place to nap.

It was when I rolled onto my side that the fuss began.

Durn near got circumcised. . . .

Budd

Yep, BTDT. I had a 66 Honda CB-160 back when I hardly cast a shadow that I rode down to a barbershop in a small town in IN about every week (he still charged only $0.75 / haircut) and cross winds could make the pegs kiss the pavement at times. It was a good thing that bike was such a good handling machine or I could have been on my but many a time.

Budd

I can see the headline now "10 year old caught with pants down under an apple tree trying to get a little pussy!."

I thought that game was played with ferrits?
