Share Pics of People Hauling or Towing Something Wrong

The boat video might have worked for them except the idiot driving the truck did a hole shot like he was going for a 12 second quarter mile time.

About a decade ago I was shopping for a 3/4 ton that would comfortably haul a camper. One salesman said "Fuggitaboutit, buy a Corvette, enjoy the roads, and sleep comfortably in motels."

Believe it or not, some of us like to camp. Almost impossible to have a campfire at a motel and our bed in our rv is the same bed as our house.

20 years ago we started looking at small trailers to tow behind my touring bike to haul overnight gear.
We then realized that a good night's sleep in a motel makes the long day ride MUCH more enjoyable. Less crabby too!

We pulled a camper with our Goldwing and slept perfect. I don’t know why so many are against camping? Some of us enjoy camping. Pulled this camper about 100,000 miles

It's always entertaining to watch drunk boaters at the boat ramp, late Sunday afternoon.

Spent a lot of time at the Surf City municipal boat ramp on Long Beach Island New Jersey as a kid and teen in the 1980's, among a few other NJ and PA ramps. Got to see more than one vehicle with trailer roll straight out into the bay, in addition to one boat cut completely in half by another.

I agree with you 100%.

And I’m guessing you sleep comfortably in it?

Congratulations, YOU beat the odds. By your reasoning, there should be no seat belts, no airbags, meat with green slime on it should be for sale, sewage should go straight into the water system, every room should be full of cigarette smoke, etc., because the millions of people who think like you, died, but you didn't, so it's all ok.

And the most egregious personal violation of all. Thinking you should securely tie your tractor the trailer.

LOL!!

This is too funny not to share. I guess the full story is a trio of wasted dudes repeatedly failing to extract their boat from the water, then trying it this way.

Yes. This was a huge issue in Pennsylvania, maybe 15 or 20 years ago, when the helmet law was voted down.

I can totally understand the gripe against helmet laws, people should be free to do what they want. But at the same time, I really question the sanity of anyone who actually exercises that right.

As soon as you get collective healthcare, it becomes everybody elses business, what risk of injury you take.

As a European, having payd 20 years worth of revenue into a social benefit system, and now its the question whether i get a human or a **** as medical specialist to decide over my disability allowance, which means i am unsure if i get return on investment now i need it, i do sometimes wish i had 20 years of social security payments into my own savings account...

Although, speaking from experience from a bicycle accident, if you take a hit with a motorcycle without a helmet, you save health insurance pay because youre probably dead. Saving 20 grand a year in disability nursing, just 6 grand for a funeral

That's a great point, and a good answer for @steve tym's concern about the lack of helmet laws costing taxpayers more money. You might argue it actually saves taxpayers money, by increasing the likelihood of death (rather than paralysis), among those in motorcycle accidents.

I spending time with a nurse who argued that helmets simply make the body presentable to the family.

Good point but most Harley guys barely wear a bucket... I had a teacher who crash on a ninja he said last time he check the speedo he was going at 240km/h (149mph) and he was still accelerating, he was wearing a full face and he had a decent suite, he lost a arm and had many injuries but didn't die... probably a miracle.

Wait, I didn't say I was for helmets. I think it should be a personal choice. What I intended was that was the only argument that had any merit for helmets.

Why some don't enjoy it?
Depends, to a degree, on where you camp.

 

[Eagle1]

Yup some places have a couple of flies.

i’ve camp and live all my life in very remote places, ok not grizzly country but still I never had a bear causing me issues, folks leave grease, food and garbage on their camp site then wonder why bears come for a visit. Burn you food left over and pick up after yourself you will be just fine.

Well picking up after themselves is not a lot of peoples strong suit
I backpacked through a lot of bear country my youth without issues.

I was just having some fun.
I've camped quite a bit, and of course through various hunting seasons (including bear season) I've seen a couple. No biggie.

I've also shared my theory here that if you can get past the attacking claws and teeth, scratch them behind the ears and they calm right down.
Possibly even roll over for you to scratch their tummies.
Disclaimer; this theory is as of yet unproven, but boy, if I get the chance.....

just remember most bears are left right handed so take the jab and dodge the right
