Oh boy, you making me feel really old now, steel on steel, not a pretty sight.

Sometimes people just have to learn the hard way.

One of the neatest scenes I had seen in a long time was Pinky Parker's Mk1* laying on it's side in front of his house after loading it on a flat deck and then pulling out of the driveway in a hurry ,while turning to head down the street..Needless to say centrifugal force and a steel trailer deck did the rest..
If we all said Please maybe Bruce will post the picture and an example of what not to do when transporting your tracked vehicle..I must give it to Bruce though..this was years ago when he was young and Foolish..
Now he got old too fast and smart too late.
No Carriers were destroyed in this story and no dummy's were killed.

Default Speaking of insurance...

We finally got affordable club liabilty insurance for Western Command a number of years ago. Most Parade and event organizers want public liability insurance for groups to participate and your truck insurance doesn't count.
We got it through the National association of automobile clubs of Canada.

Default carrier registration

My Mk 2 is registered as "MULTIPURPOSE" . This is in the same catagory as a asphalt roller, that is its weight does not change signifigantly. It is insured through SILVER WHEELS,now controlled by Haggarty.

I did register the Club's Mk1. When trying to explain to the DOT clerk what a UC is and that it had never been registered as it had been bought from surplus and used on a farm, she said "oh it is a farm tractor". I said right on.
