Bjorn,
Did he read that from a state statue and offer for you to read it as well?
I wonder if, lets say, an RV Toter, which is a recreational vehicle, was
pulling a goosenectk trailer, the RV Toter had three axles and the trailer
had two dually axles, and the total weight is sixty five thousand pounds,
would it be required to stop if the owner is in no way commercial? He is in
a hobby where he hauls his property to shows.

They'll have to run me down if they want to talk to me when I'm going down
the road past a weigh station driving my deucenahalf. I refuse to be a part
of allowing them to get their foot in the door to harass us when all we are
doing is preserving history. Thats why I believe in Conservatism and the
Capitolist System one hundred percent.
