Where is everyone #5

I can't answer that for you.

The thing that I learned about motorcycles is that you have to find what fits you. You're gonna put your DNA in a bike. You have to go out, throw a leg over the bike and ride it. You will know when you've found your bike, because it will do what you will need it to do. If I were going to buy a brand new bike, the one that I would look at really hard is that Indian Scout Bobber 2020. But that's just me.

 

I'd adopt 1st, same views.

@Lysdexis at least the spark plugs come out on those ones LOL. Had 09 with that trans 5.4 (plugs were fixed by then and 15-40 took care of phaser tick. Some recommend against it but at 170k she was like a top).

 

Cant teach your boy to run the wheel loader if you never have one.

 

Just before i did the inframe on my c15 I bought an overdrive 13 out of a 2014 is what i was told.
The truck does this more than





numbers like this


It is nice to be able to pull away from the Herd of Mega's and get into some open space for a moment.
@Swine hauler It is nice to roll a hill with out shifting and have a burst of speed when needed.

 

Those are great #'s right there.! Find it very interesting you are seeing a .62 top gear.. Does it whine, or make excessive noise like everybody is saying these double overs do..?

I noticed you've got a big Cat with probably 150-200 more ponies & ~600tq more than I, where as I've got a baby 11.1L DeeeeeTroit.. LoL. It's also only currently set to swing a max of 1800..

I'm think'n JPMACK is onto something, just getting the ecm tweaked a bit, & allowing 2000-2100 rev's for quick spurts & relief of some lugging if I rap it out some while upshifting..

I am kinda like'n the idea of that deep double over too. Out of my price range for the current financial climate.. I like it because my truck pulls ok now where I generally cruise, yet returns excellent economy in my eyes.. (~8.2-8.7mpg) So run in the .73, & only use the .62 to get away from the stalkers..

Average cruise


Current max speed
Double over "if" I were to try it.. Might be a bobtail only gear if installed now, LoL
But circle back to just the ecm tune, & I'm getting almost the same result in speed, but more power, rpm, & maybe even better economy if I can keep my foot out of it for the most part.. & should be cheaper for the cheapskate like me.!!

 

I never had one. Always wanted one, but I wasn't about to allow just any woman to have my kids.
(Story Time)

My brother's wife and middle daughter came to mom's house while I was visiting. She's 14, tall and really pretty. Well, the girl works. Always working. Hands out her business cards, does office cleaning, baby sitting, pet care...etc. Love her work ethic. Well, we put the gloves and headgear on and I showed her a few tricks. She made the mistake of trying to high kick in sparring. I kicked her other foot from under her and she went down hard. Big crash right in mom's living room. She's laying sprawled out, stunned. My mom and her mom both looked at me in disbelief. Moms....

"Don't ever throw a high kick in a streetfight. If you kick, kick low."

A couple weeks go by, and her mom tells me that she's been practicing. I sent her this video:


It's funny, they used to teach girls this stuff in public schools. Now they teach them worthless stuff. Anyway, my niece loves this lady's videos now. But now, my brother described her to me as being arrogant. Maybe she just likes who she is? Maybe I am the bad uncle.

 

Ya cant win em all 6

 

I'm a bad uncle too. You taught her right.

 

Compromise. Check this one out.

Ohlins shocks and front forks. $$$$


I agree with JPM about the Sporties. Would rock one if I had one.

 

Well, her mom didn't say anything. My sister got upset when I put the gloves on her son when she was worried about him being bullied in school and committing suicide. "I don't want my son to be violent." Right, you just want him to be worthless.
