The reason we use a tow strap loops at the end instead of hooks is because:

If it breaks, those hooks/chain links become flying projectiles and can hurt any bystander.  Besides, tow straps work just as good.

Dont let that be the only thing that keeps you from riding. Someone usually has a strap or winch with them. We just prefer that if our strap breaks its while pulling our own vehicle  :D

I have question about the rules.  Does a two way radio work for the CB.  I have Motorola two way with a 22 mile range and it works good.  Will that work on a club ride?

Thanks
Lee

as long as someone with a cb has the other 2way, that can keep you informed

Everyone on the trail needs to have a CB.  It's a GATR requirement, as it is with most every club, and everyone has time to get one.

It's our  primary means of communication on the trail.  It's used to tell you where we're headed, where we are, directions, trail information, and most importantly is used for safety.   Others around you, in front of and behind you, can see what you cannot, and often the CB is the best way to communicate the info.

Everyone should show up with a CB.  Even if it's a portable.

Here is an example of why we have a cb.  Everyone was following Will into the mud pit when the train stopped and decided to back up.  I slid off the edge of the road and I was headed to the ditch which would have been bad.  Doug was behind me yelling on the CB,  "DO NOT MOVE MIKE, WE WILL HOOK UP THE STRAP".   ;D {hihi} {salute}..  It also makes for a boring day when you have to wonder what is going on....

you definitely don't want to miss out on the mindless banter on the cb that transpires during a ride.
