Yeah RPM, only the motorists tend to give our cars a lot more respect than they do motorcycles, at least they do in Beaufort.
When you get right down to brass tacks, if you get in a wreck, it's likely not going to be pretty. I've seen some beaut's in 30 years in the fire service. I haven' had been to a T-Bucket crash yet and I hope it ain't mine!
It probably matters little where you mount them, just mount them the best you can. I think it's more about peace of mind than any thing else.
Fred summed up best, it's all up to a higher calling.
Darn good discussion though. Great feedback. So it's back to plan A for me.
