Hitch Grief !!!
« on: September 30, 2007, 08:05:52 PM »
As you Folk might Imagine I/we tow alot of boats each week, around the lot in and out the shops and occasionally home and back for assorted reasons.  Friday I took the freeway to the shop (usually  thru town), second speed bump in my driveway this happened ! Guys check your hitches and saftey chains REGULARLY!! Kind of looks like a cannon round huh, thats the trailer hitch head rammed thru my license plate!! lol ....Tom

just happy it didn't happen on the 101 freeway!

OUCH! Tom, did the coupler come undone? That reminds of a time I was towing a bobcat to a job site, looked up in time to see the trailer head off the roadway and into a storm drain sump! United Rents wasn't very happy about that! I'm just glad it was thier guy that hooked it up. Any damage to the boat?

Actually that hitch head was one with a little doohicky lock tab device (you can see it in the reflection) anyhow when the cust came to pick up his boat I hooked it back up ,the "horsed up' on it and sure as spit it came off again (sent him home with a bungees wrapped around it and a promise he'd get it fixed. Tom

Lucky ,too bad for dmv maybe I can get one of those cool plates like "jetboat1' ??


 H2 re distortion cover? Ive heard there illegal but I got them on all my vehicles ,have yet to be harrassed. not a big fan of being cop stopped. I was just watching a Vid of the 20 year old kid back east that has his OWN dash cam crazy shit....

82 thats a classic pic ,cell phone or not!

 Toes ,your right 'just made me sick to think about if it had come loose on the freeway!
