Was how it was attached.. or should I say how in the world that pin could survive acceleration and braking. BUT at least a chain was used. Safety first!! i finally got some of the post to load..... this is just crazy! no way that pickup would have a chance pulling much less stopping that semi van trailer if it was loaded ...im not sure of the empty weight ... probably not more then 6-10 tons.... but loaded ?? NOPE!.. and those don't have electric brakes (air only) ... this has to be the top idiot design I've seen! excellent post! and that tank right behind the truck, is not an air tank for the van brakes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_Wilson_™ 6,567 Posted July 25, 2020 i don't see it.... besides that design is just tops in stupidty...especial the gap between the pin, diameter and tonge lol if that hardened pin breaks .... and that dolly turns (even with safty chains) he's going for one heck on a ride!

Reminds me when I ride my Hayabusa to Sturgis and I chase those noisy slow Harleys around. 🤣 My neighbor Mr Jimmy passed away about a year and a half ago , he had all kinds of animals while he was alive ,horses , cows , goats , lots of chickens , ducks and homing pigeons , he had a few hundred pigeons as he use to race them and sold them , I live 1 mile from a big Federal Game Reserve which is also a bird sanctuary , every winged bird of prey native to the area is here , they use to play havoc with his pigeons and chickens , the falcons were the most fun to watch for me , Mr Jimmy didn't like them much , the falcons around here are a bit smaller than the one in that video above , they wouldn't take the pigeons out the air , they would dive bomb them and hit them so hard in mid flight that it sounded like a .410 shotgun blast , feathers would go every where , the pigeon would spiral down to the ground and the falcon right behind it and land on top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reminds me when I ride my Hayabusa to Sturgis and I chase those noisy slow Harleys around. 🤣 I seen where a falcon can hit 300mph in a dive , and have read where the Suzuki Hayabusa GSX1300R could do 195mph off the showroom floor ----- there was a very bad fatality wreck that my neighbor across the street got into with a Hayabusa last year , State Police measured the brake skid mark at 150 ft , and the point of impact at 116mph , so he must have been up there high in mph , neighbors full size Ford 150 was totaled , the front wheel was touching against the engine block 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Akunin 348 Posted July 27, 2020 We have several Golden Eagles in the Black Hills and have witnessed several instances where dogs were grabbed but my closest encounter was mt wife and I were riding through the park and were watching a deer and fawn in a meadow some 30 yards off the road we were on. In a blink of an eye, no warning eagle grabbed that fawn and took flight with it. My wife went from.. "aww that fawn is so cute" to OMG!! She didn't think it was funny when I said the fawns name was "Lunch". 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
