Kids ride at WW

Me, Punder, Tiger Rag, Randy R and a couple more dads took 6 kids on a ride to WW this weekend. We got to meet up with Porkchop and his family, great people! Also got to run in to Bubba and big thanks out for him helping me find a new tie rod end so I could keep riding the rest of the weekend!

It was a rough start to the weekend with Matt having a blown trailer tire, gust of wind and some out of control sway. His truck and trailer didn't make it out too well but he did and thats all that really matters. He did gather up some of his gear and went on up the mountain and camp and rode with me all weekend. Talk about getting hard core!

Here are some of the pics.

Im glad everyone is ok Daryl. That truck on its side looks scary. I hope everything works out for him.

How did you break the tie rod? That pic doesnt look too good either.

Looks like everyone had a great time!

Wow, what a ride I'm sure. I almost did that one my way to TN a few years back. It was a bad feeling to look in my mirror and see the trailer sitting sideways across the interstate.

Glad eveyone was safe and you still got to ride.

Nice pictures

It was good to finally meet you Darryl. It has taken a few years!

Looks like you guys had a much more exciting (or eventful) trip than us. What happened with the truck / trailer?? I'm glad everyone was OK.

You too Lee, there is no telling how many times we have passed on the trail. When I was talking to Mike at KFC I asked if you were there and he said you were across the street. By the time I got out there I thought you had gone then someone said you came back so I turned around LOL

The trailer had a flat at the same time as some wind which caused it to sway out of control. Matt is fine but it was one hell of a ride for him, he was actually there at KFC with me when you were in there.

Looks like a good time, except for the crash

The kids had a great time. My Daughters were asking "When we Going Again?" on the way home. They loved it! Neuromax also had his signature large fire at night -- always fun...

I Like it

Ray,

When the trailer twisted and jack knifed the coupler did separate from the ball but that was a by product of the accident, not a cause.

That's a heck of an accident I bet the rode was blocked for a while Thanks for sharing

I guess it's

time for a new truck for Matt dynwim

It just looked akward the direction of truck compared to trailer top

It was really amazing how quickly they got traffic back. It took the wrecker probably 15 minutes to get there and he had one lane open in about 5 and both lanes open in a total of 15 min. So it was shut down completely for 30 min, maybe 45 but not as long as I figured it would be.
