    86 Big Red at work

    Well, hardly work at all for this machine. But it was fun to use it for this purpose anyway. I took BR out with a tote strapped to the rack and picked up all the trash (and recyclables) from the roadway I usually ride on that leads down to the valley. About 2 miles to the bridge, then I had to stop because the tote was full

    Beer and pop cans, bottles, coffee cups, plastic oil bottles, an antifreeze bottle, half a muffler, etc. I will go back down soon and clean up the next 2 miles. Pisses me off that people would deliberately litter. But I don't mind cleaning it up. Looks a lot nicer now

    Here's the snowmobile bridge that is out because of the spring runoff/erosion. It didn't help that many people had driven their cars across the damn thing, which helped weaken the foundation. Now I can't cross to ride on the other side

    I got all the parts on that you sent Brad (except the e-brake), including the front rim. It's shaping up. Thanks again!

    I'm a sissy The pictures are deceiving; it was actually about a 6 or 7 foot drop! The very next day a huge John Deere tractor pulled the bridge up and out. Not sure how long it will take for them to build it across again....

    I love your 'wide open spaces'..I wish I had that kind of running room at my door. I have to trailer to ride..a real pain. Every time someone posts some pics of their property showing how they can just back out of their garage and go I get a little twinge of green!!

    Was gonna make some smart-azz remark about your BR being reduced to a garbage truck..but then what does it care.

    Those things are like an excited work dog, doesn't matter what they're doing..just let them work!!

    BTW..to heII with the bridge..go thru the river!!

    You need a little trailer to pull behind her! I have my eye on an ATV dump trailer from Northern Tool, has nice big fat ATV tires and a durable dump box.

    I have a bunch of scrap from an old truck bed that I will be making a trailer out of very soon. Probably won't be pretty, but it will be functional...
