    Very light duty trailer set-up.

    This guy rode by me this morning. I think it's pretty cool...make due with what you have available.

    I wonder if they let him go over the scales?

    I've seen a dude with a bicycle.. and a home made "flat cart trailer" he fashioned with some metal, piece of 3/4 plywood and two bike tires that match his bicycle tires.. he rides across the scales at Kroots in Columbus all the time. Sometimes with 1 piece of metal. So I'm sure "scooter" got to go over the scale too!
    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!

    I was actually parked, and he was moving really slow. Maybe as fast as walking. I really don't know where he was headed...the nearest scrap yard in the direction he was headed is probably over 5 miles away.
