LJ and I did a 65 mile last year. All forest road. We've done 35 mile ride 3x so far. Did a couple 40 mile days this past weekend.
Gas prices and finances being the way they are, I'm probably sitting at home 'til Halloween for a club ride at Hollister. Hopefully it rains so we can have a little fun with Karyn. LOL

I can ride from my house (hundreds of miles of trail). My oldest boy rides the 400 to football practice.
Some area's are shutdown, cuz of Wilderness Study area's, but that's okay...there are area's that need to be protected. The Devils racetrack access goes right through wilderness study area, but they have designated legal trails to go through the area.
However, there are a bunch of eco-****'s in the area, snubbing their righteous nose at us, and blocking trails, etc. It's funny, if it has an engine, then you are a bad person. If you are on a bike or on foot, then it's okay (in their eyes). I like to hike, etc., but I think we need to share, protect, and conserve the land. I have a B.S. in Enviro. Engineering and they try to tell me how to protect the land...idiots![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img]

I love that sound, I run a 3" single glass pack on mine and at full throttle the intake is louder than the exhaust. It seemed to add 30 hp and sounds SWEET!!. Mine is loud enough to block out all the "whining" [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

My buddy ran one on his F150 too. Unfortunately, he sold it shortly thereafter[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] So, I couln't get any info off of him. Only thing he really didn't like about it was the additional whining the motor made from sucking in all that extra air[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img] I told him it was his fiance' that was whining[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

One of the things I love about my PSD is there is no whining[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] If there is, I CAN'T HEAR her[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] LOL!

Been nice here the last couple of days. Today is only supposed to be 85. Last night and this morning I drove around with the window down and the A/C off. Amazing how much more giddiup the truck had. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]
MD, on my towing mileage, not sure, but I went back and figured out. When I towed that 5K load, I was probably about 15 or so I think. I got like 17MPG that tank. About 1/2+ was up there, with half that being really heavy. Job site is like 78 miles one way. Then had a run to Kettleman. So hmm...maybe it gets sub 15. 4.6 with 3.55s is NOT a towing machine. Had a guy ask me last night what kind of mileage I get. His wife drives a 4x4 Tahoe and the gas prices are killing them.

Ahh I think fall is coming[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Only suppose to get to upper 70's low 80's[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] Dropping into the low 60s at night[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] No need to use a/c anymore[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Means more $$$ for quadding[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
I don't think that's bad mileage with a load like that. My mileage stunk pulling our camping trailer, used a 1/4 tank going over the Sierras[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] Fuel prices have gone down about .02 cents woo hoo[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]
