It was posted on fb by solano county hiway patrol, but it was only the pic and no comments from them on it.

Could be vaca valley area between fairfield and vacaville

Might be the suisun grade headed to vallejo also.

That road looked familiar, Google maps to the rescue, that is between Vallejo and Cordelia. It does get windy in that area. Pretty sure my screen shot is the location.

Top of the grade when you can first see Vjo right?!
Not often that "Windy" right there really.
But stranger things....

Looks like ohio plates, if it's 70 east of Columbus that is a flat as a pancake all the way to the rockies.
 
Kung Foo is in S central KS.. most likely I-35 if he took the pic..

Back on topic, he/she should have put the Smart Car on the trailer and pulled it with the bike. lol
 
This is rolling out of our plant right now. That’s a 5.7 1/2 ton ram. Not sure what that body weighs but our 10k lift won’t pick it up, therefore he’s loading inside.

It's big, but probably 3500lbs on a 2000lb trailer, if it wasn't so far from the mast, a 4k lift could pick that:laughing:

The wind is just gonna kill the mileage, or make it wiggle.
 
I had a friend that had some power lines cut through the property. I always parked unter them when I can over to visit, it was a nice spot out of the way
One day the (something) broke and the high voltage line fell where I normally parked
the safety gizmo didn't trip and it just sat there and welded the gravel until the line guys could come out turn it off

it actually melted the rocks in the driveway
I have no doubt that my truck would have looked like that one in the above picture
I quit parking under power lines
 
If that thing got energized to the point that the trailer tires caught fire I'd guess that he doesn't have a story to tell...
