Big Birds in California

[Gregory OConnor]

Tom, California did not allow out of state drivers to enter without
the proper limits as in state drivers. If prior to this year you
drove a +40 foot motorhome in the state you were required to have any
state commercial Class B or California Housecar endorsement. Without
it you were risking impound. California increased the size limit to
45 foot last month. The +10K trailer issue is also valid for out of
state vehicles and Drivers

The RV industry fought hard to keep our state from allowing only safe
and healthy drivers behind the wheel. Every time I am asked for my
license, I am asked to present a current (less than 24 month old)
physical statement. I think the requirement for the physical check
up limits consumption to 1,000 donuts per year or 1,800 dounts
between the visits.

The pdf above may be a good print out to keep onboard for the longer
than 40 footers in the event they find a need to convince a CHP or
local city commercial officer of the new law.

Most CHP I meet are great people. I was running dirt loads overtop of
my dump truck comming out of a gated city because I was limited to
finish my task by 5 pm as the working class must vacate the city by
that time (canyon Lake). A CHP cycle officer pulled me over and I
explained my time limits and the fact that I must get back in the
city by 5 pm to clean up the work site. He replied "Oh no, then let
me hurry up and write this ticket, and have a nice day" prick

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Greg,

That sounds almost as good as Randy's explaination of the
malfunctioning speedometer (disconnected)while driving his "PICKUP",
to the cop on US301 in Florida, this came just a few miles after
Randy pointed out to me the bilboard signs WARNING about the speed
traps located just down the road....it was a classic!!

That Cummins and ten speed makes for a real cruiser and I must admit,
it doesn't seem like you are going that fast either, but you know I
can't let Randy forget about that, after all what are friends for???

By the way, in all of the ridding and acting the tourist roll up here
in the Black Hills, I haven't seen another 'Bird anywhere around
here, but then I wouldn't venture out on most of the roads that I
have been on with a 'Bird, they can be very narrow with 10 mph
switchbacks in places, you have to really pay attention to the
warning signs that are posted, on the other habd ridding my
motorcycle on these roads is a blast. Today I will extend my stay
here for another week.
