    I sold the red 2007 Mastiff. Then bought a Blackhawk frame with a 2009 Screaming Eagle engine on her. I made an immediate $2000 on her and let it go. I bought a 2009 CVO Springer with another Screaming Eagle 110 on her. They are all day bikes.

    The CVO and Mastiff are intermediate geared so they have extra out of the hole. The Mastiff had a 121 Ss with 138 hp. She would dance and dance. Kinda miss it. But parts were hard to find. I really want the new CVO Breakout but $31,000 is too much. I'll wait. It has a better ride to it. Nonetheless, I adore springer front ends. When I was a kid I had a '49 74 inch panhead with a springer. I have been a fan ever since.

    Its kind of funny that you would say that USA might let you go farther now that you have become a big boy trucker. A couple of weeks ago I was at a company waiting in line to unload and several USA drivers were in line before me and one of them couldnt get his truck in the dock to save his life. The receiving guy finally told him that he had to leave because he was holding up the line. I felt bad for him so I back his truck in the dock. And would you beleive that before I got unloaded another USA driver in the dock to the left of me couldn't get his truck back out of the dock so I had pull it out for him to keep him from tearing off my hood. I can clearly see why USA might want to keep some driver close to home. Can you imagine sending a driver 2000 miles with a load and he/she not being able to get the truck in the dock to unload?

    Oh, okay..... Yer makin' fun of me now. I get it. LOL I think a lot of us new guys get stage fright doing that backing thing. When I got here today there was one space left and I was out of hours. Two guys adjacent to the spot saw me pull up checking the hole out and they both got out to watch. I set up and screwed up my reverse BIG TIME. So, I quickly did a circle and setup again.... PRESTO. Nerves were replaced with need. When I know an audience is on I get weird. If they stay seated I can hit it 8 out of 10 the first time. Maybe I'm not a big boy trucker (sniff) (kick the dirt)

    Sorry I had to laugh at this. Especially the last sentence.

    I have messed up every back up this.past week. Well every standard "easy" back. All the technical.ones I've gotten on first shot. Oh well. Ill get the truck in eventually and could care less who's watching. Have yet to hear anyone say anything about a bad back job. Not sure if I'd ignore, flip them off, laugh it off, or tell the off. Lol guess it would depend onnmy.mood

    Just remember that every time they give you a 500 mile load they also had a 2000 mile load available. Who are they saving the 2000 mile loads for. You can hustle in all the crap if you want to but I want better than that. Just remember that they always had better than what they gave you.
