A 12 ft. FEATHERLITE conversion

Converting Cargo Trailers into TTTs

When I was in Brazil, the guys told me the tubes fill the air and equalize it in both the inner and outer tires. Lots of cargo truck have them there.

Yeah, I wondered about the side that the sidecar is on in that photo, but the photo is an ad from a Brazilian website offering it for sale. With that pancake (transverse twin cylinder) engine, does anyone know what make the bike is? Not BMW. Moto Guzzi or Ducati maybe? (Ducati is big in Brazil.)

Unlikely. I posted that pic because of the trailers.

And here is---without a doubt---the MOST aerodynamic trailer I have ever seen!

FWIW, flags are flown at half mast aboard ships. On land, they're flown at half staff. I know,I know, it's just semantics, but it's another of my hundred, or so, pet peeves

I always admire the simple, especially when it's done in reused/scavenged materials in a classy way.

Jerry,

You did, but, hey, ain't no competition here bro. :beer:

Pretty interesting house in S.F. for sure, but I'd feel much safer living in "earthquake central" in a trailer on springs. :worship:

Speaking of livable trailers that would work in a dense city:
