All accolades most gratefully accepted!!
It isn't always that my brainstorms translate into something that actually works
Like I told Rick, the concept is usually fine but the execution often lacks.
Trouble is, only one bike fits on at a time so can't deliver both on the same trip Zbodan.
Sure, I'll deliver them. I'll sell ANYTHING - for the right price!
I'm sure they make new ones every day.
Oh, and I think most of the "professional" appearance comes from the spiffy paint -
and the only thing I had to do with that was pay for it :-)
I had some folks concerned about the front/rear weight bias and the balance as it
might affect straight towing with no swaying. On another forum, I had more than
one suggestion to load the bike on the trailer, then push it back and forth to find
that ideal tongue weight which helps avoid sway. Obviously couldn't do that as the
trailer bed is only as long as the bike, so had to calculate it and keep my fingers
crossed (in other words, a SWAG estimate). I had found out the front/rear % of
the bike, and knew my trailer weight from adding up the weights and length of the
various steel pieces, then wet my finger and held it up in the breeze and said
"let's put the axle right about - - - here" And, believe it or not, it tracks straight
and true. I LOVE it when a plan comes together!!
As my uncle used to say "yesterday I couldn't spell eng-y-neer and today I are one"
(he was a Swede too :-))
OK, gotta hit the road for the last leg of the trip Albequerque to Vegas, then pry all
that stuff out of the 2 cars. Absolutely packed to the roof. It's a case of be careful
when you open a door,at least one something
will fall out.
Cheers!
