If you get their jerky, I would be your customer, even if you have nothing else at all!

Minguas is in the works. Will be the single strip pcs. For now. I can't vend the larger packs. Will be Hot/Mild/and hopefully Cajun.
Thanks

Hey!
I for one am stoked to have Philz in neighborhood.
This morning I figured out a way to tow my mountain bike with my Goldwing. Now I can park the motorcycle at the top of the hill ride the mountain bike down the M.L. hill and enjoy some badd azz mountain bike trails without having to worry about someone stealing my motorcycle. Plus, knowing there was a ice cold Ale-8 waiting for me gave me what I needed to make it to the top as I strained to push the bike up the last half of the hill. Maybe before winter I won't need to push it but right now I have a long way to go.
Thanks Guys!

I'd like to see that....

If anyone could figure it out....

That was all there was to it.
I drilled 2 holes through the Yak mount bolting once through the hitch ball hole and once through an additional hole to keep the mount from pivoting. When the mount is allowed to trun, the bike will not track but falls over.
I did a few test runs around the parking lot hitting every chug hole we had and then took to the road. Even at speeds up to 70 mph I couldn't tell it was there. I already heard all the comments about wearing out the tire and wheel bearings. I kept the speed at 45 or less, (most of the time), and was able to tention the bungee cords on the handle bars to lessen the weight on the rear tire so I didn't trash it. When I got to Philz Snack Shack I felt the rear axel and it was not hot at all. I don't think I'll go out west this way, but going to RRO or the PMRP to try out the new bike trails shouldn't be any trouble.

Eric, your the man.

Philz', I'm making my first visit to see the new place during upcoming RocktoberFest week. Look forward to snackin' and parking some afternoon.

Eric, why wouldn't you just ride your bike to RRO or PMRP?

Cuz it's a lot more fun passing cars towing a bycycle with a motorcycle!
