I like the feel of the tandem when the tire decides to blow. Had a series of blowouts under the Whaler. One let go as I was in the go fast lane after crossing the Courtney Campbell Causeway(long bridge) on 275 Eastbound. Tire shredded going 65 just as I was making the first right hander by Westshore, the sea of cars parted just in time for me to get all the way over to the triangle on the shoulder where Westshore Blvd merges with 275. Lucky as he// because the bridge is no place to break down and 275 is nothing but bridges and concrete barriers for miles.

Yeah, I've seen 'em strapped, roped and chained...I guess the moral is carry a couple of loggin' chains when towin' a tandem...
Sounds like ya got lucky on 275...I went back and forth over that a couple of times in recent years and you're RIGHT...but to the point of this thread, even with 4 wheels on the ground, you were lookin' for the side of the road pretty quick...
Wish I'd known you back when I was comin' that way...I'd have stopped by for grilled brats!!...
