    Meet the BBs: BB_Tophour

    Some of you might best know BB_Tophour as our resident chat mage. He wields the mighty banhammer with a firm but just hand. But do not fear his wrath! He is a mere mortal, just like the rest of us. Only with magic.

    BB_Tophour will be answering questions from 1-5 PM EST.


    Feel free to ask him all the questions, you just might learn something that blows your mind! For example, did you know that BB_Tophour's name is pronounced "Top-Hour" not "Toph-er"? Now you know. And knowing is half the battle.

    First question: Have you ever calculated roughly how much money you save riding a motorcycle rather than driving a car? With today’s gasoline prices, you must be saving a fortune.

    Second question: Just how big does a tractor-trailer look when you pass one on a motorcycle?

    Third question: If you could design a horse drawn wagon Settlers characters could use in the game to perform their job duties, what modifications would you make to the standard medieval wagon so that other motorcycle enthusiasts would see the modifications and know the wagon was designed by a motorcycle enthusiast?

    your head is just higher than the floor of the trailer so it looks fairly large, but the wind it throws off is the worst

    Hmmm, I would go with two stone wheels connect by a shaped plank with a seat, pulled by a single horse from a pivoting front rein mount that allowed the cart rider to lean causing the horse to steer to the direction leaned

    “but the wind it throws off is the worst“ – I never heard about that. But now that you write about it, I recall watching Nascar races where they showed the wind those cars generated. I can only imagine how much bigger and stronger the wind coming off a tractor-trailer is. And you have to drive through it.
    So if you were on a racetrack behind a tractor-trailer you could slingshot something fierce.

    i guess so, prob is when you come out from behind a semi the wind is coming off it, so you lean towards the semi to not get pushed out while passing it. I only weigh 160lbs, so larger riders may not experience the wind throwing them around as much. It also only really happens on the interstate
