If this wasn't it then it was a somewhat close second to a different trailer stacked with cattle panels.

Back in the late 80's, I had a 68 f100, LB. Father inlaw blow a tire on his full dressed, honda aspencade on his way to work on the angels crest highway. between Los Angelos and the high desert. Took 6 full grown men to roll this bike on to my truck. Took it to his dealer , who used a crank to pick it up. Bent a rim. The 300 inline 6 and 4spd manual never skipped a beat. Slowing down out of the mountains made your butt pucker vinyl. About 3 wks later the 9" rear end got smoked, blew the seal and drove it and 40 miles. When I stopped back on base the pumkin was starting to turn orange it was so hot. LMAO.... Loved that truck...... Only time it left me stranded was when the rear ujoint broke on an on ramp outside San Deigo and the drive shaft slid of the yoke in the rear veiw mirror.... That was an oh $%^& moment. :lol:
