A new Pledge of Allegiance .....

[BEER30]

I pledge my allegiance to the Flag , and to all the BEERCART's in America .

And to all the Beer drinkers …… if they can stand ,

One understanding , that we’re invincible ,

with liquor and mixed drinks for all ! :rotf:

On a more serious note ..... As a member of Rolling Thunder , on which we have been invited to participate in the NC Salute the troops parade in Raleigh , NC . It has been said it will be the largest parade in NC history . http://www.saluteournctroops.org/ .

Here I have mounted my flags onto the BEERCART , rather than the scoot itself . The flag poles and mounts are made of aluminum . The flag poles themselves are constructed out of 1" and 3/4" ID tubing to make combined a schedule 80 rating and still lightweight . They are 8' tall themselves . The mounts are welded to the trailer tongue . I've had the BEERCART up to 65 mph with 25 mph winds (flags rolled and covered) to see how it handled and no significant signs that they were even there . I will not be traveling at high rate of speed with them , only for parade ceremony activities .

 

Just thought I would share this with you since I haven't shared pic's in a while and also if you can , look into this Saturday's event .

Nice looking outfit!!

[Squidley]

Gene,

Your fabrication skills are great, I could only imagine the trouble you and I could get into if we got to make something together Very cool idea and looks terrific

[Black Owl]

Are you getting any whistle out of the mounts when the poles are not inserted?

[Freebird]

Very nice Gene. That will look fantastic in any type of parade or escort service.

[BEER30]

Are you getting any whistle out of the mounts when the poles are not inserted?

There's no whistle in the mounts . They set low enough where there's more turbulence and straight wind to cut across the tops of the opening of the mounts . Besides with my Baron 4-2-4's .....what whistle ! :whistling:

When on the long haul , the flag poles set on top of the BEERCART , strapped down with bungees . There was no whistle then either .

 

Squid , you and I would be in a lot of trouble if we got together to build things .

 

Plans for a possible 3rd pole later on where I will place it in the center .

Nice tribute there Beer.

Got any beer flags to fly for the M&E's?

[DragonRider]

You guys could start up a nice business building trailers, trikes, all sorts of nice do-dads for bikes and likely make a small fortune doing it................Just an idea:stirthepot::stirthepot:

Mike , as far as I know I will be there . I will be riding with NC Chapter 5 . This will be my first run to DC with RT . I normally take the BEERCART with me on just about all overnight trips going long distance unless I am in a great hurry . So plan on me being there with my setup . Contact me prior to you leaving . Hope to see ya there too .

Thanks all for the compliments . I'll be video taping the parade as well with the Beer-Can Cam !
