Goat ? Rails
This term "Goat Rails" surely is an Arab nomenclature. They take their
goats with them everywhere, even on their ships. Will not be associated
with anything I own so another name is in order.

dear wife is in the bus. That keeps me busy.
This is a great forum mostly about fixing problems so a little light hearted
change wouldn't hurt, right? I think I will have an artist hand paint "GOAT
RAILS" on my goat rails. I'll use Ferrari red with dark grey shading over
the Frito- Lay fleet silver factory base paint. I've always been a little
off center but mostly to the right. Whatta you think? Talking points?

I look for the goat rack. If I monitor, I monitor channel 19. 12,000
miles in 16 months and only saw two BBs. Seems like an average taking
place here...

We've called them "luggage racks" since first coming in contact with
the Wanderlodges in the '70s, the goat-rail term came from this forum
from what I can tell.

Jerry, its amazing that a person intellegent enough to compose a
sentence using the word nomenclatuer could be so acrimonious.

It is obvious to me that the guy in the BB design department that
came up with the rail design (18 years ago) was old.

18years? I know you've seen the '60s and '70s coaches with the rails,
the early ones were even round-tubing like the ladder.
