Have been riding street bikes for 35 years....have had to dodge more than my fair share of crap that wasn't tied in. Shovels, toilets, ladders, furniture...good times....
no kidding, it never ceases to amaze me how close people will tailgate me when I'm hauling my trailer
now, I know I strap stuff down right, and I know I inspect before each and replace my ratchet straps when needed
but THE PERSON BEHIND ME DOESNT KNOW THIS
always cracks me up how much they trust me, because I sure wouldn't trust anyone else
