    I just blew by it, Dave. Thought it was just a "slip of the finger"!

    I have brought my street legal dirtbike before, but you gotta be careful, it does add extra weight, especially if you pull heavy loads or have a apu.

    I take loads to NYC whenever I can. Also I only live 4 hrs from there so I know that if I go to NYC I am almost home.

    Thanks Maddad,
    You say you take your "taxi" around. Are you an O/O or do you work for a company that allows you to use your truck like that. Just curious!
    Whatever you do, have fun!

    Before I started driving a truck I use to fly RC airplanes on the weekends. Now I carry 2 planes with me and fly them whenever I have a few hours.
