So, how much of a FE hit would it be to throw my wife's adutl trike on top of my Neon? Anyone make a rack for trikes?

point is GEO fits into TRUCK, but TRUCK won't fit into GEO...at least not within reasonable expectations (short of high-speed impact!).

Do you believe in tug boats?  They are fairly small compared to the barges they move.

...athough the "tongue" weight probably isn't too bad (dolly and trailing idler wheel), I kinda think that 4000 lb BMW 'slightly' exceeds the cycles' intended "Second Passenger + luggage" design weights.
...not impossible, just highly improbable.

I'd like to think that people might open their eyes at some point... instead, I find it more and more likely that I'll just close mine.
