I thought I have seen it all

Been Camping / Glamping a long time, I thought I have seen everything until this Dodge 3500 pulling a 30' Air Stream pulled in behind me. How could this be LEGAL in any State. First it's blocking his head lights, 2nd you can't see clearly over the bike. I had to post it, you just can't fix STUPID. How could someone get by with this driving down the USA highway system?...

If he is pulling an Airstream, what's he got in the bed of the truck? Why not put the motorcycle back there?

You are right, Glenn. You can't fix stupid.

Happy New Year.

The two orange straps back to his roof rack give him maximum weight capabilities! NOT!

Your right Sarg, but I have seen bigger headlights on a golf cart. Just checked his plate he is from NC, I don't think that is legal in that State. NCHP is pretty picky about there highways...

If Arkansas put a boat trailer on Airstream. Another hitch on the front of moped for golf cart. The bed is for spare parts and flea market items at best an ATV. Maybe it's just my neighbor but he had a boat trailer with a hitch hooked to the 5th wheel up to go to Lake Chicot. He claimed to pull 3 trailers. I just went home.

That setup wont pass inspection in any state! The versi haul is a nice unit though,we used one on the back of a 19' bumper pull TT. In the 70's I built a front rack to carry a 305 honda but I positioned it so that all front lights were clear.That was a heavy bike to load up,but we were young and dumb! The rack simply pinned into my snow plow frame so it was solid.

You don't understand, he has the trailer over-loaded and needed to keep the front wheels on the ground!

And there's a 2" receiver on the front of it, so he can plug another carrier into it if he needs to add any more weight on the front.

Never witnessed this before. But, that is a scooter, not a motorcycle. Lots lighter, but still stupid. You can duct tape broken you can't fix stupid.
