    4 smelliest things I've encountered on the motorcycle, in no particular order: skunks, bullracks, trash trucks, water treatment plants

    I was told once I'm not a real driver cause I was pullin a cow wagon. The crowd I ran with had our spots Ed's at Salisaw the Teepee on the west side of OKC, Hoods just to name a few. As BHW said it was out of respect mostly but sometimes you just got to do what every body else wishes you wouldn't. I still sleep at sale barns now that I'm pullin a grain buggy cause it's safer, and food is better. Course I still ain't a real truck driver but I'm gonna grow up someday.

    That's something drivers nowadays are severely lacking.... courtesy. Your hubby is a professional. I do my best, as well, to be courteous whenever I park ,or do anything else ,giving thought to what might transpire later .

    That's funny. Less stressful on the cows. They're on their way to get their throats slashed and torn to pieces. Yet for some reason the rules state you can't stress them while on the way.
