Almost ate my shorts
Did I get your attention..........Picked up my rebuilt B.B. 402 from the rebuild shop today and tied it down securely..I thought..first turn sucker shifted and my ropes were all loose.....Damn bed liners.....So I pulled over and resecured it and came home doing maybe 25MPH..........No I did'nt have to replace my shorts...The LONGHORN will breath again soon.............

Oh man, I woulda had to get a come along to pull mine outa my arse from clenchin', heh! I almost lost an air compressor that way once. No damage, but wow, the feeling when you see it tipping over and there ain't nothin' you can do except continue around the corner and look for a place to come to a gentle stop.
Glad you didn't hork it up! Hope the 402 treats you well!

When I had my yota on 38's I turned a corner with a antique table and chairs my mom had just bought and left it all laying in the middle of the road!!!!Needless to say all I delivered was a 500$ pile of splinters!!!!But I did receive a healthy ass chewing.
