I figured, well I guess a motor home flat towing a truck loaded with Harley's isn't an odd thing most places? =)

Looks like they've got some sort of hydraulic platform apparatus to lift those bikes up into the truck bed. First time to be seeing one of those. Johnnylift of sorts.

It's a far cry from the days when we'd pack up what little our bikes could carry and ride that bike where ever we were going.

This is my workingman's version. Drove the truck once I became a family man

It’s a lost art. The only time I towed my bikes was in March 2019 going to Florida we had 15 inches of snow the day we left . I did tow a trailer with my Glide though

Man you are hard to impress lol!

So I need to look for a motor home flat towing a full size truck that has two Harley’s in the bed plus the truck should be towing a large camping trailer or maybe a large boat. I’ll hit the streets today haha!

Because of some of the things I've seen posted on Facebook, I really don't think it would be that hard to find. Just hang around the campgrounds in the Summer you'll get your photo. Lol

How about one with the pickup having a camper shell and the bikes on a trailer hooked to the pickup hitch? :lol:

Towing a boat sounds practical. But there really should be a rack on the pickup for kayaks.

I know a guy who goes to old tractor shows with his ACs and his rig is pickup/tractors on trailer/camper. Pennsylvania doesn't like seeing that and he was made to leave the camper, drive to show, and come back for the camper, back to the show. I think going home he took a chance and went full hog

No Harleys, but here's the large boat and a couple smaller "ride-ables" in the bed. Saw this setup 20 years ago.

Now that's a collection of sensible, and very cool, vehicles

When Hot wheels came out I was 12-13. I only bought one because I had Matchboxes through my childhood and I thought the Hot Wheels were cool. I still have that one from the first year. I guess I devalued it by doing some detail painting, some black accents and painted the roll pans to match. Worn and dusty. The back panel I had painted flat black, the back of grille, and the hood louver/vents. Looks like a barn find now

I wouldn't be caught dead doing such a thing. Whatever it would take, it would have to be something better than that. I would surely die of embarrassment.

How many of us have an old railroad grade running through our woods? This is my friend's place. It was a short line to service iron ore mine to furnace way back when

I have not had to do that yet. I have had to deal with a Lab that rolled in Otter crap, and another lab that rolled in Mexican food Human crap she found out in the BLM. I vomited several times with that clean up. She came in the doggie door and jumped on my bed. Look what I found Dad!

Closest I came was when my wolfdog killed a skunk one night in our back yard. Amazingly, he only had a very slight scent on him, not worth trying to clean him. Especially considering his attitude towards getting a bath. Tried that once when he was a youngster, and once was more than enough.

good 'ol Fritz has put this to the test a few times in the past couple of years :rolleyes:

has to be mixed fresh but works like a charm - pulls the stink right off!

it's the yard, house, garage, etc. that takes a week to completely stop smelling :waah:

Stink, stank, stunk – A remedy when a dog is skunked

https://www.thenewsstar.com/gcdn/-mm...pjpg&auto=webp

Dish soap, baking soda and hydrogen peroxide, which can be mixed to create an effective solution to neutralize skunk odor. If your dog gets sprayed by a skunk, mix a quart of 3 percent hydrogen peroxide, 1/4 cup of baking soda and a teaspoon of liquid detergent and apply to the fur. The recipe was developed in the 1990s by a chemist, Paul Krebaum, but other chemists and biologists say it remains the most effective remedy out there.

no pics of his skunk baths, but he loves the shop vac :lol:

That brings back memories. My grandparents lived in Quincy. That is a very scenic (and very curvy) drive up highway 70.

Someone did a great job on that. How unique and very cool. Something a whole generation can appreciate. Be a kid again!! That is the British/European (all foreign now) motorcycle show they have at my town's VFD Carnival grounds every year. I hope to catch up to the builder this year and get the story

Even though I've ridden much faster bikes (I worked for a motorcycle shop for 5 years in my early 20s) the funnest bikes I ever road were my Yamaha 2 stroke twins. I assembled my first RD400 from several boxes of parts. Afterwards I still had enough parts to assemble another engine. So then I found one with a blown up engine & then I had two. Then I picked up an RD350 that I fixed up & got running. Then I came across an RD60. Now that's just a single cylinder but had a six speed transmission. That made a neat little pit bike. Unfortunately I don't have pictures of any of them.
