screw it.. I'm going fishing

[danf]

I just say screw,,, it I'm going fishing man :Egyptian: , Nobody can stop me because I'm set in my ways and I'm determined to go out fishing and camping and fun stuff.. I repainted my trailer and made a couple of fishing pole holders, it's another one of littlebeavers ideas here, it's a 2" pvc pipe , I cut a 3/4" slot in it and cut the cross cut with my dremel and my heavy duty cutoff blade, the pipe is bolted to the side of the trailer and with a nut inside, I just placed the pipe where I wanted it with a couple of drywall screws and scew them in place, that gave me the mark for the bolts and I just redrilled the holes for the larger bolts, I have a long vise grip I use for my timing belt change and I clamped the bolt to it and inserted the bolt in it's hole placed nuts on inside of trailerbox and tighten down, and done... Sure I could just take the rod apart and place inside the trailer, but what's the fun in that? This is one of kind trailer man, It's a littlebeaver trailer..Haaa haa.. I 'm always thinking guy's and I have to remember to place the poles in the holder after I leave the garge because they won't clear....that guy from Florida [flames] would love my trailer because his bike is painted up sorta like it..HomeDepot has the Camo paint..It was my first time painting anything camo I plan on getting better at it..I just need to see a photo of something camo and I can do it.. so here are some photo's for you guy's to drool on..Because I know you will like it..I was never military but my eldest brother was a Nam vet. in the 173 airborne outfit, and another brother served in Germany during the Coldwar time..Dad was a Marine and all my uncles were too.View attachment 2View attachment 1

that's exactly right O and I have these little bell's I can place on the tips of the rods to alert me for a bite..
~O~

I don't think that fishing pole is going anywhere...

 

[dan filipi]

Hey slick man, I LIKE IT! Especially the taking a nap part of the whole deal :lazy:

 

[danf]

I wanted everyone to get a kick out of it going down the highway, do you reckin it will make a few folks laugh and maybe get me a few thumbs up :good: those would be awesome flag pole holders too.I didn't want to paint the rim because I may paint it over again...later on

 

[dan filipi]

Oh I think so!
Most will probably be sick with envy actually.

I just thinkin maybe should bungy the poles down so they can't work out in the wind?

Nice build littlebeaver.....I like it. The fishing poles could be used as flagpoles too...if you like flags...thanks for the show n' tell!

Oh yeh, I have the bungy cords for the ice chest and the poles in camo color too, I'm thinking again here, what if I placed a piece of flat stock at the top toward the front just above the hinges in the same holes I have for the sleeping platform and just lay that flat stock down with a 1'8" gap so the clip can slip under the steel from the bike rack , see guy's then I could place my bike rack to that flat stock and put my bike on the back too,,Now that's just crazy cool isn't it..Oh see there I'm at it again...geezzz

Yeh, I should make a special flag now with a fish on the flag, maybe a largemouth bass or maybe I can order order three more large patches and make flags with the patch attached to the flag...I need some more stickers for sure, I wish to place one on my new windshield that's coming ..

Nice trailer Littlebeaver,

I am likein it.

Your new slogan could be, "When i'm awake I ride, When i''m asleep i fish, Beer me.

That other bike needs a Beer holder for while you are getting you exercise, you know to get healthy but not overly healthy. Everything in moderation concept.

It's like people you see riding bikes while smoking a cigarette.

 

[danf]

Yeh wheat beer :shock: darn it, there goes my 12 packs...out the window,,I am limited to one beer guy's , aaaauuuh man.. :beer: my wife :whip: says no.. My daughter loves it when I have a few beers because she says I get funny.. :smilie_happy: :salute: cheers to you guys that can have more than just one beer..

 

[danf]
