Made it home!!!!!
i'm pooped!!

Me too.

But for a different reason I assume.

 

[SkullDaddy.45]

Did you poop before or after you got home???

I poop in the car... So I guess you can say during the ride home!

Me too.

But for a different reason I assume.

I don't miss those kind of tiredness!

 

[actaeon277]

Tomorrow after I take a test.

Class today and most of tomorrow then a test tomorrow afternoon. Special concrete reinforcement certification

Well, I'd say stop by.
But looks like you'll be flying through.
And my house is still a ****hole.

How ya feeling ACT??

hydrated.
But tired. Towing with a tow strap for a couple hours is stressful.

I dropped a Hillary myself as soon as I returned home....

 

[actaeon277]

I went to the NWI meet and shoot. And ended up towing a guy home.

I agree, always fearful of having to make a sudden stop.

So your poop was crooked?

I towed a bike from Indianapolis to Hobart with a strap. My butt puckered a few times!!

 

[SEIndSAM]

Skulldaddy...Have you lost weight since I saw you last summer??

Your looking trim....

I quit working out. I'm down to about 210. Lost about 15lbs.

Towed the car from Winimac to Gary.
There were a few puckers.

That was a worry. We workd out a few hand signals.
We tried to use the cell phones.
But he couldn't hear the phone, even on speaker.


There was one time on a slight downhill, enough slack happened that the tow strap went UNDER his front wheel. And we dragged the strap for a few feet under his tire.

He needed to drag his brakes to keep the strap tight.

 

[jagee]

I've never towed anyone or been towed with a strap or anything else for that matter. I feel left out

It was between 2-3 hours. Mistakes are bound to be made.

The trick is to keep he strap tight.
When braking, use the rear vehicle to do more of the braking. If the lead vehicle brakes too much, slack in the strap.
Then when you start... BUMP... BUMP... BUMP.

Kinda like a rubber band.

47 knucklehead. Just wouldn't start. Strapped it to my '73 Electra Glide and headed home.

That I would have loved to see.

Nothing like going down I-65 50mph with a drunk 275lbs man yelling at me calling a ***** for going so slow!!

 

[actaeon277]

skulldaddy broke the thread.

 

[actaeon277]

Broke the rear iron sight on my Thunderbolt .357 carbine.
