I am not sure about laws or anything so I figured I'd ask. My kayak is about 10 inches or so longer than my car. Am I going to have Johnny Law behind me while I am transporting? Any help on this would be great, I gotta keep my driving record clean!

thanks

Jeff

Here's what PK had to say the first time he saw my 16 foot Hobie Adventure on top of my 13 2/3 foot car.  :smt044

Alright, this is totally random. But funny.

You know those Jeff Foxworthy jokes "You might be a redneck IF..." ? Right?

Well, I have a new one thats appropriate for NCKA.

"Now...IF your kayak.....is longer than your CAR....
You might have....the Madness!"

Bear in mind...........
.....that when you apply heavy brakes, 100% of your boat weight AND
about 70% of the inertial weight CONCENTRATE solely on the front bar.

Making the rear tie-down very taut will help distribute inertial weight to both
bars.
