    I'm going to. I had a whole day of if you can't find em grind em lol. Man day one back was rough....i mulched more gears than day one lol. It was great tho, I didn't even get frustrated....in a hour I was back to normal. The only thing I wish I could have done was pull wiggle wagons....I feel superior to everyone else when I do that. I'm calling myself out as a supertucker so feel free to jump on and bust my balls lol. Pulling a 48' lift gate had to do lol. I was blindsiding the #### out everything and making it more difficult than it had to be just to prove to myself I know what I'm doing. I put a 48 can load blindside in-between two 53's with no room up front and hit the dock try #1. It was tight but not anything that anyone else could have done but doing it the hard way felt right.

    I know my past few posts have been supertucker as #### but I don't even care and will take the heat for it. Why did any of us start driving these big fyckers? I did because I seen a career path that aligned with the biggest baddest things I seen on the road. Granted it's changed a lil in those 30 years but I am one of those gear jamming bad ##### now lol. I know pretty much everyone can say that but I like to think my safety record is what will make others see me as a professional.

    @Troy_ I'm glad you pushed me over the edge to buy the road king. Don't get this twisted....I have nothing but love for my sporty and always will... incredibly underrated bikes if you ask me. The Tampa Trash Boat (my bike lol....that's what my wife calls it) is what a motorcycle is supposed to be. My only ##### with it is the floorboards...I'm used to forward controls.... it's not a bad thing...just different. I've put almost 5k miles on it in a month.... it's a keeper.

    I resisted going to a touring bike for years. once I threw a leg over and spent some time on one I knew why people loved them. it ain't all about speeding around for that rush of adrenaline, something to be said for that slow growly ride and gobs of torque while enjoying the scenery. it is pleasing!

    And it's a negative media circus if that happens in the real world.

    Does not matter what letters they put on it. If they call it NEWS, it all a media circus. Waste of time and electricity.

    I must be comin down with something. I got back from the truck repair and all I could do was sleep.
    On the way home I fell asleep briefly, thankfully I woke up. Scared me something fierce.
