Only got about an hour on the bike. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] Tie rod held together. And it actually felt like it handled REALLY good. Maybe it's because I get this one-with-Hollister thing going on up there. Drizzled a little bit. Wet+cold = me(status=cold as h3ll). Trails we awesome. Could have been a little drier.
But hey, to keep it on topic, rode in a an old body style PSD. LOL 4" exhaust, and no muffler from what I could tell. LOUD. Used like over 1 tank on the dual getting there....70+ MPH. Used like 1/2 of one coming home about 60.

I was coming home the other night around 1100 P.M. Saturday night, there was actual snowflakes hitting the windshield[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]
Dang, that's a lot of fuel even at 70 mph[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] What was he pulling a kenworth? How big of a tank was it, do you know?

How many diff. ways can there be to lift a trailer? Having been in her truck, she's gonna need that much lift I should think, what batter way would there be to do it? Most trucks have their springs mounted on top of the axle. Maybe there's something else to do with the suspension? (I think her new toy has shocks as well.)

why not axle flip? gives ya about 8" lift, and is simple. just put the springs on top of the axle, instead of under it.

They're going to actually lift the trailer somehow.. he said they don't flip the axels but lift it another way.. I can't remember how though.. hehe... I'm sure I'll be getting airbags soon.... gotta get it all setup!

I think I told you guys about going over the bars at Miami when LJ, MD and his daughter? Well I just noticed that what I thought was bent bars, is a bent stearing stem. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] Going to try and play with the tie rods and take some of it out.

Any whoot, you should live with the name Flanders[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] You came in here with dual personalities and are now paying the price[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] Unless you change u how to spell canucklehead, it will never be available on the forum. Once a name is taken, it is history, just like Confusedbuyer, no other lost soul can use it in the forum.

2 of my daughters and I, spent the weekend splitng firewood out at the ranch[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] After all of the years of working out there cutting and splitting wood, decided to actually use the quads as work horses[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] WHY didn't I do this earlier[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] It was so nice, not dodging brush piles and trees with the PSD and trailers[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] I even frabicated a hitch for the 80 mini raptor to pull a small trailer[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] Decided I needed to beef up the hitch on the Polaris 400, bent it pulling the log splitter around.
