    This is my fifth street bike, and the only one I really liked.
    Easy to work on as well.
    Five minute oil changes.
    I buy the common to Canada 5 liter jug of oil, dump it in, and perfect. No need to measure the oil. It starts off 7/8 of the way to the full mark, not exactly full, and I don't top it off. By the next oil change its at 3/4. It has never even given a hiccup. I start it, let it idle just long enough to pull on my helmet and gloves, and ride off. Cold or hot it runs perfectly, I just ride it easy for 5 minutes as it warms up. I call her Pocahontas, and she has only needed gas, oil changes, one belt adjustment, and tires. Not even a brake job, or anything else.

    I had a quick load yesterday evening that turned into the load from hell. 7 hours to blow off a tanker. Went off duty for 3 hours to stop the clock so I could make it back to the yard. Got done, made it about 30 miles and the falling asleep signs were there so I stopped and did the 7 hrs in the sleeper. Finally got done around 1 pm today. But well in time for dinner so with the 5 hours detention pay load is still ok.

    Hope all of you have a great Thanksgiving. And those of us that have to work through the weekend, be careful. A lot of stupids in a hurry out there.

    Does a 2 hour round trip to the yard for a drop and hook in preparation of tomorrow's run count?

    Yeah I run 80 in Wyoming every time I leave the house and going back. It’s not a bad drive even in winter months just need to use common sense.
