    Decent shocks on it I take. Comp/rebound adjustments? Biggest I've hit on the quad is 50ft step down table top at the local practice track. This one guy in his 40s i ride with is flat out nuts hitting the free style ramp and everything. I don't have the balls to do that

    Edit: the 50 ft'er looks bigger than it really is. 3rd gear half throttle clears it

    Anyone else get what I've termed "load paralysis"? Sitting here looking at lots of freight, but just can't get myself to commit to doing any of it.

    I'd guess somewhere in the 11'9" area depending on rubber? My Pete's strobe is mounted on the old qualcomm mount on the sleeper and clears my 11'11" opening with a few inches to spare.

    Good money going to Baltimore, but I just can't convince myself into going haha. Not seeing anything coming out that pays anything, and I'm not going up-upstate NY for anything.

    Have yet to take a load going west of 81 corridor and South of the mason dixon. If it paid anything I'd be all about it. Van freight anyways

    Hardtail. Front fork is just a lower end Suntour, 100mm travel. Its a pretty entry level bike that I've upgraded the pedals and added hydro brakes to. Tweaked the gearing on it as well. Way too much bottom end. Could hardly go fast enough to stay upright in first before.

    I'm looking in to buying some land and building a shop in a year or so. I'd like to try and get away with a 12' door, so 14' ceilings. Would cut the building costs down a fair amount over a 14' door and 16' ceiling. Guess there's always the option of sliding door vs overhead doors too.
