best bikes for hauling kids image
quilter46p
I have a 2002 Ford Taurus with 148,000 miles (from the divorce) and my kids are insisting that I get out of it. I have a big dog and a bike and I am thinking about getting a pickup. I have driven a Ford Ranger, but it seems to small. I can't afford much right now, so what should I be looking for? I would love a 4-door F-150. Any suggestions? I wouldn't be hauling much but the big lab dog and my bike, but can't do either with my car. Of course, tags, taxes and insurance are considerations also.
Answer
You must have a huge dog if you cannot move it in your car. You can always install a tow hitch and get a bike rack, or a roof rack (unless you mean motorcycle). This would be considerably cheaper. Keep in mind that with a truck insurance is higher and gas is higher (trust me, I went from a Taurus to a truck). If you want to make the move before the car dies, go with a small truck. I got a Nissan Frontier (the old style, smaller) which I love. The Toyota Tacomas are great. If you are not hauling a lot then a smaller truck will get better gas milage and serve all your needs. Try a used one from Carmax and you probably will like the decision.

Who is more likely to get thrown the farthest off a motorcycle, a heavier person or a lighter person?Lets say?
DC
all conditions are exactly the same for both riders,same speed same bike,same gender etc.only difference is one weighs more than the other.
Answer
A friends son who is a very big boy seems to bounce heaps better when he comes of the bike due to the extra padding that he has on his body. But there are way to many variables as with this boy on his bike the set up for the bike has to be way different as it is like hauling around an extra kid. My son is very light and he doesn't bounce very well and has had quite a number of injuries but his bike can sometimes be faster as he is not as heavy on it as some of the other riders.
All in all they can both get hurt if they stack bad enough
