LOL,

I wonder if a bungee cord would work good as a belt.

I once had a backpack that was falling apart and all ripped up. I was too cheap to buy a new one so I covered the whole thing in duct tape. Lasted for years!. And when it started to rip, just add some more. Plus you always had cduct tape handy whenever you needed it. As a bonus, if you uses the camo duct tape, nobody could see you![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Not sure about you all, but I'd rather duct tape as a belt over a bungee cord. Those things suck.

A friend and I loaded up our quads to go riding on my flat bed trailer. I was probably doing about 30 or so around this corner and looked im my rear view and I see one of the bikes doing a 360 in the air after hitting the road, it ended up in some grass after flying over a small road ditch! When we got back to the quad we both looked at each other like who strapped it down. It was my friends bike that fell off and he got lucky it got alittle scratched up and bent one side of the handle bars straight down.

well I had gotten the chance to look over my quad today and I am not a happy f&^%*n camper,lets see I need 2 rims,2 hubs,front carry bar,axel,new bearing in the swing arm.Although the axel isnt bent to bad hopfully it can be straighten out.But if not it going to cost me $700-$800 to fix my f&^$ up.
My advice to you is use 10 ratchet straps to hold yours in place.Its not a very good feeling to watch it fall off you hauler

I set the ebrakes, put them in gear and took it slow. I pulled up to the house and the lights hit the trailer and it was empty..(freak out time!).I didn't feel them go off. Good thing the road wasn't busy cause they where sitting in the middle of the road, just like they were loaded right were I came out of the pasture. No damage, thank God.

I went out and got insurance the next day.
lol, that would scare the $hit out of me
