My lawyer joke.
What is the difference between a dead lawyer in the road and a dead skunk in the road.
There are skid mark before the skunk.

A good start.

At 3:49 I clearly understood, “Ah, Dutch Oven.”

not the dutch oven I was expecting, and thankful for that.

I know this feed is a little aged, but found this picture which speaks volumes about a 1972 CT-90’s carrying capacity. Missoula, MT in 1973…my old man used to use his CT-90 in Fall Black Bear hunts about every year. He would parade through town like this just for a few skewed looks from folks. I would say the old rack carries a bit more than 40-ish pounds. Different times...

Unless it's a stuffed Teddy Bear...I can't figure out how strong this guys has to be to even lift it let alone balance it on the little bike...

He always used a block and tackle, just guessing the center of gravity was higher than ideal

I blew a rear tire over the weekend. I’m 250lb and had camping gear strapped to the back. Made it 80miles to camping spot. She blew starting the trip back. Had tire pressure at 33lb on the rear. Was going 40mph on blacktop and boy did she get squirrelly. Ordered a heavy duty tube and shinko 244 3.0x17. Hopefully that will be a little better tire to handle the weight.
tried patching the oem tube on the side of road. Got a few miles down the road and it went flat again. Note to self: have a spare tube.

Blew a rear tire? Like the tire had a hole ripped/blown open? Or you hit something to damage the tire? Or you just had a flat because of a hole in the tube? If the tire blew, I doubt you could patch a tube with a hole that big, and with a blown tire patching the tube would not do much good anyway. ?????
