    Here they say you have to have 2 points of contact, through the stake pocket and around that round piece in between the rub rail (forgot the name, right next to the stake pocket); I'm assuming that's what you're looking cross eyed at lol can't disagree with anything securement wise unless I wanna be fired...

    It's better than some. This is my opinion, you never share anchor points on side rail. I'm not against using side rail at all, everyone had for years. But never share anchor points with 2 chains. Next you will say, "Mack, they taught this, is all we have for equipment". Sure, but don't make it right. You need to get the twist out of your chain! Once you learn that, you can thank me later. Not that it's illegal, but sure as heck will speed your time up. It will tighten faster and stay tight better. Any trainer worth a grain of salt will teach that. I'd lome to see rack placement. But in the end, if it don't fall off or roll over top of you. You did ok.

    I thought his name was James... that's like my username being farmerjohn but my first name is actually Jaun. As far as I'm concerned he can criticize me all he wants lmao I own that big rifle you see in that picture, not a purse!

    Nope. No motor wash this time. Still clean. No leaks. No drips. Used about a gallon of oil in the first 1500 miles. Don’t think it’s anything to worry about yet.

    I didn't have anything to do with the rack setup lol I think the story went someone dropped that coil and because the company bought it due to damage, it's now a glorified training tool... there's nothing in the policy that I'm aware of that states I have to share anchor points, was merely told I could by the instructor, so I'll change that up.

    I guess the only thing I would suggest is to put half of your binders on the other side of the trailer. Pull both ways instead of all one way.

    I need to get my bike up and running again, barely had it before the rectifier went bad causing the battery to die, but like an idiot I guess I kept trying to ride it and now if memory serves me well I’ll be going down the road and even if I’m going 60mph it’ll drop all the way down until it stalls out, loses all engine power and dies. I don’t know if it’s because of a pinched fuel line from having to pick the tank up to change the rectifier or what lol best time I ever had on that thing.
