P1000 Wheel bonnet woes!!

I'll go out on a limb and say the Odds are exponentially greater that you will mess up your machine on the trail vs your machine gets messed up due to properly installed Tire Bonnets on tires that go flat....

Stop using those big words so us rednecks can follow along.

I would say that’s accurate.. but I’m more concerned with unexpected catastrophic failures that result in bodily harm.

I've always been a "compression" tie down guy too.. most likely from motorcycles too.

However, I do plan on getting a set of Macs bonnet ties for my trailer. I'll most likely throw one front & one rear frame strap on simply because I'm an "overkill" kinda guy. But those will be for "just in case" reasons. I've never had a flat while towing, so I'm thinking if I had enough flats on one trip to allow the machine to move..... I'd probably have to buy a lotto ticket.

I broke one of the High Lift pins on my last trailer with my Honda Rancher tied down. I obviously didn't have it cranked down hard enough, and hit a good bump.. it went slack for a second, and when it came back it busted that 3/8" pin right off.

There is something to be said about tying the straps to the tires and not the "sprung" vehicle.

Personal opinion @JTW is you're over thinking it.

Yet you still ride your dirt bike/ motorcycle lol... sorry just realized you said unexpected ...

I now am worried my wheel bonnets will come loose since I am giving you crap about your concern - lol

Again.. I’m aware of that risk. I’m just trying to mitigate the potential for my pk5 donkey punching me in an accident.

Have you considered a railroad tie?

Unexpected Catastrophic Failure = why you carry insurance.

Japs? Everyone’s knows we fought the Japanese in Cold War... not the Spanish American war when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor!

Very interesting! The history books I was taught from were very different than yours! HA!

I'm pretty sure the books in Arkansas purchased from the Clinton Foundation you were taught from have an alternative reality to what really happened. But at the stage in your life, to quote Killary, " At this point what does it matter. "

I’m less concerned about the damage than I am a machine coming into the cab.. the whole point of this thread was the pros and cons of how you tie down and to raise awareness for the next great sxs epidemic plaguing riders. This is clearly the next 3 wheeler hazard!

The top rail on my trailer is what kept our S x S out of the bed/cab on my mishap. After that, my trailers will all have a top rail.

That's what I thought! HA!
