The other day we were asked by a magazine to rank the top five considerations when buying a receiver hitch. Would you like to know what we said? Here you go.
Just over a week ago I was headed to the vet hauling a trailer loaded with three horses. We'd had snow two nights before but the weather had cleared up, the sun had come out and the roads were completely dry...or so I thought. After heading around a sharp curve at about 25 mph I started to accelerate to make it up a hill. At the top of the hill I hadn't quite made it to the 45 mph speed limit and I saw in front of me a stretch of black ice on a straight away about 3 football fields long. The wind must have blown snow across the road causing it to...
We made our debut with The Biker Bar at Sturgis last week, and by all accounts, it was a hit. We sold all the inventory of one model (for Harley Davidson touring bikes) and our maintenance-guy-turned-sales-guy, Joe Jefferis, did free installations in some pretty crazy conditions on trailers ranging from homemade utility trailers to tricked-out toyhaulers.
