thats what i keep hearing from folks online.
i wonder why a guy with all these years experience would build something that either wont work or would be dangerous?

thank you for your concern.

you guys had me worried about the bumpsteer issue.
i have installed a stabilizer.
and now that it is legal to drive i have been blasting around on the bumpy laplata hwy.
i went over some rr tracks at around 60mph
and i didnt have any real problems
it stayed pointed where i wanted it to go.
after every drive i look at welds and bolts etc.
but i am probably just being a worrywart.
