That's usually where the boat is parked...I been riding the motorcycle every day so the truck was parked there.

Guy gets an automatic 21 day suspension. No matter if it was his fault or not. The mechanic that came down said he believed it was the driveshaft that failed. It was not hanging but from what he said maybe the tailshaft.

WTF happened to the brakes? Well you know those don't work unless your in the truck to use them... The way these guys drive is to back up then shut the engine down in gear and let the dead engine stop the truck..as they jump out..cept this time it didnt quite work that way.

They brought a 100 ton wrecker down from Worcester, it was probably 45' long...couldn't fit in the driveway so the guy parked in the middle of the road and winched it sideways up the driveway.

Looks like just the front rack got stoved. I don't see any other damage but I'll let the adjuster look at it.

I worked for UPS, the first rule they taught on backing up was :

DON'T!!

See! Should have never bought the bike! On the bright side Scott...no repainting to do! Hopefully no more than just the rack.

Almost time to get our fish on!!!
